Let exhibitors know beforehand in what format data will be saved. For example, when an exhibitor captures a lead from a magnetic card, that data is saved to a disk or some other device. Some exhibitors will want the data in their sales tracking and fulfillment system. If you let your exhibitors know in what format the data will be stored, it will be easier for them to import the information into their existing software applications. On-Site Electronic Messaging Systems Show managers are increasingly incorporating electronic messaging systems that allow attendees and exhibitors to leave messages for each other.
Most systems are pretty easy to use.
A participant goes to a kiosk and searches for the name of a person for whom he or she wishes to leave a message. Once that person's name is found, the participant can type a message or, in some cases, leave a voice mail message. Usually, in order to retrieve the message, the recipient must pass by one of the messaging services and either read a display of the people who have waiting messages or enter an access card into the system to see if a message is waiting. When a message is waiting for a delegate, the person's pager will beep. He or she can then go to the nearest message system to retrieve the text or voice message.
