  • 1.  Looking for ideas "extra booth" as a session

    Posted 21 days ago

    We use a session group during registration for our vendors to register for specific booths. Our event has over 100 booths available, so we use the dropdown option to prevent from our page getting too long. Unfortunately, since the booths are in a session group there is no way to select more than one booth number.  Any suggestions? Last year I had a separate session called "extra booth space", but there's no way to alert me as the planner when someone selects that.

    Hi Kim,

    Thanks for your question about letting vendors select multiple booths during registration.

    Right now, the session group dropdown you're using is limited to one selection per registrant. To allow a vendor to pick more than one specific booth number, you'd need to use a multi‑select list (checkbox‑style) instead of the dropdown. The tradeoff is that the page will be longer, so many planners break booths into multiple groups (e.g., Hall A / Hall B) or pages to keep it manageable.

    If you'd prefer to keep the cleaner dropdown experience, a common pattern is:

    • Use the dropdown for the primary booth.

    • Keep an "Extra booth space" session or optional item, paired with a short text question where the vendor can tell you their additional booth preference(s).

    • Use a scheduled report (e.g., filtered to that session/item) so you get a regular list of everyone who requested extra booth space and can assign those manually.

    Longer term, Exhibitor Management + Booth Management in Attendee Hub is the direction for interactive floor‑plan–based booth selection and planner alerts, but today that's still designed primarily around one booth assignment per exhibitor.

    Hope this helps!
