If you are an Exhibitor in an event happening on our platform, this article is going to help you understand what you are going to be able to do and how you can manage your own information within InEvent.

What is the difference between Sponsors and Exhibitors?

The main difference between an Exhibitor and a Sponsor is the level of interactivity. While Exhibitors have a higher level of interaction with attendees, Sponsors by default have a higher amount of image placement in the event at large. Sponsors are usually big companies or brands who fund the event at large while Exhibitors pay to be part of an event in order to push their brand and create brand awareness.
