Overview
The virtual booth or catalog is a feature rich segment of the event portal that creates opportunities to engage event attendees or site members, creates calls to action, and helps you generate sales leads. Virtual booths and catalogs have a homepage, web pages, and contain content and event posts. They have customized reports for you to track activity inside your booth and get contact information from individuals that fill out forms on your pages, attend in-booth sessions, or view elements of the booth/catalog. Your booth or catalog was created from a template that gives you guidelines into the features of your booth or catalog and how to customize the experience for people that view it.
