What Can Exhibitors Do in the Virtual Meeting Portal?

Engage and communicate with ITM/PTTI virtual attendees through the expanded virtual meeting portal! Below, exhibitors will find all of the information you'll need to fully utilize the virtual meeting portal.

Expanded Online Exhibitor Profile

Your profile is visible before and after the show, and is the attendees' first impression of your company. You can personalize your expanded exhibitor profile by:

• Uploading a logo
• Adding a company description
• Providing contact information
• Uploading electronic brochures.
• Recording an exhibitor demonstration to highlight your company’s product and services. This is a great opportunity to reach all attendees and to introduce your sales and engineering team. Send a link (youtube, etc.)  for your company video to mandrews@ion.org.

Access to edit the exhibitor profile is automatically given to the contact person on the exhibit contract. To grant access to additional individuals, please email Megan Andrews at mandrews@ion.org.
