What does an online exhibition look like?

We will be using a platform called OnAIR by EventsAIR.

Just like a traditional exhibition at a face to face meeting, attendees can visit the virtual exhibition hall and engage with exhibitors.

Attendees can view exhibitor information, download brochures, and when the exhibition is open, engage in instant meetings with exhibitors.

OnAIR is a fully integrated and secure platform optimised for fully virtual events as well as hybrid events.

Lead Management

The OnAIR conference portal features a Lead Management function, you will create questions for your team to ask delegates when they visit the exhibition booth. This information can be exported and collated at any time during or after the event. This is a great tool for your organisation to capture information from delegates visiting your exhibition stand whether it is a question to form part of a research task, or for follow-up after the event.

How it works

When a delegate commences a meeting with your representative – subject to the delegate providing their permission – your representative may collect the delegate’s details and information based on, or guided by, your pre-loaded questions. The delegate’s responses can then be sent back to a staff member in your office or saved for follow-up after the conference. Your representatives must obtain every delegate’s consent before collecting details, so we recommend including a question such as: “Do you consent to receive follow-up communication from our company”.

Your automated message

An automatic email can also be created in advance through the Lead Management function, to be sent to all delegates whose information has been captured. Your pdf brochure can be attached, or the email might just be a simple ‘Thank you for visiting’.
