Online Exhibition

Your Contact Person

When booking please appoint a single point of contact within your Organisation.

All bookings will be recorded under the one name and all correspondence will be sent to this person.

Representatives

Anyone from your Organisation attending the event must register with Conference Design before the meeting. An individual event registration will be required to access the online meeting and exhibition areas.

Please check your sponsorship or exhibition inclusions to confirm the number of inclusive registrations available. Additional registrations can be purchased.

Exhibition Listings

Sponsors and exhibitors will be listed in the portal in order of sponsorship level followed by alphabetical order.

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.

Click on the image on the right, for a preview.

Accessing the OnAIR Portal

All representatives must be registered individually to gain access the OnAIR conference portal.

Login details will be emailed directly to registered representative/s. The email will include auto-login details and credentials to provide your representative/s with access to the OnAIR conference portal directly.  Here they can gain access to your exhibitor dashboard by clicking on your stand.

When your representatives ‘enter’ the stand during scheduled exhibition hours, they will see: a meeting queue list of those waiting, a list of who is already in meetings, and  any meeting requests from delegates which they can respond to.

Leading up to and throughout the conference, your company representatives can text chat with each other and view your pre-loaded company brochures for reference.

OnAir Exhibition Opening Times

The exhibition hall will be open to delegates at all times throughout the event. Delegates will be able to visit your stand to view your brochures, videos and can connect with you via the Meeting Hub at any time. We encourage you to have a representative available at your stand to answer any questions and meet with delegates just prior and post the presentations time.

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’.

Lead Management Set Up & Accessing Leads
To set up your lead questions, automated email, and lead alert email, please log into the Exhibition Portal: <<insert a link to the exhibition portal>>

Online Game

An online game – also known as ‘gamification’ – will be conducted where points can be accrued by delegates as reward for visiting exhibitor stands, meeting with sponsor representatives and participating in sponsor lead management.

The Online Game is open to all registrants with details about points, goals, and badges available at the top of the online portal screen and on the App during the conference.

Prizes will be awarded to the top point scorers.

What you need to participate

In order to participate as an online exhibitor at the event and make the most of the exhibition opportunities available, each of your exhibiting staff members will need access to a device (laptop or desktop computer are recommended), internet, a webcam and a microphone.

This is a 10-second promotional video which will be shown after the ‘Getting to know the event Portal’ introduction. The video should be a maximum of 10 seconds in length. Any videos exceeding this time will be rejected. We recommend creating a short promotional video – be creative!

  • Maximum size of 20MB

The digital eSatchel is exactly what it sounds like. We are taking a physical satchel that would be provided at a face to face meeting and adapting it to the online platform. Whilst we can’t add physical items such as pens, pads, coffee cups etc… this is still a great opportunity to add documents or links to resources for the event delegates.

Your eSatchel document may be a simple flyer or brochure for delegates to download or it may be a link to an online advertisement, a complimentary or discounted registration to an online webinar or workshop, a voucher to an online shop, a job opening, the list goes on.

We encourage you to be unique and creative with your eSatchel content!

The downloadable content piece will be accessible through your exhibition listing in the online meeting portal and the delegate app.

The content piece will ideally be:

  • High resolution, colour PDF
  • A4 portrait orientation, 210mm x 297mm
  • Maximum size of 1MB per document (multiple pages allowed)
  • No bleed and no crop marks
  • PDFs will be uploaded ‘as received’

These are short “alerts/adverts” that will be sent via the online platform and the app. The body text for a push notification message should be no more than 30 words and a heading no more than 10 words.

Gamification will be used during the Festival with points on offer to delegates for visiting exhibitor stands (both in-person and online), meeting with sponsor representatives and participating in sponsor lead management. You have the opportunity to enter a trivia question that delegates must answer as part of these games. Trivia questions should only be 85 characters long and we ask for 3 answers (also only 85 characters long each). Please enter the question and answers into the Exhibition Portal, making sure to indicate the correct answer. A prize will be awarded to the person who scores the most points and there will also be prizes for the in-person events. If you would like to donate a prize for this purpose please email us at bapd@australia.iiba.org.
