Admins have permission to access many of the features that the exhibitors use, so it will be helpful to learn how to edit the booth and understand the end user experience by reading [this article.](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/knowledge/professional-conference-exhibitor-feature-exhibitor-set-up?hsLang=en)
### Adding your exhibitors
Go to **Event dashboard → Conference → Configure → Exhibitors**
To add your exhibitors to your conference, click the **Add Exhibitor** button
Then, enter the name of the company exhibiting and the primary email for the exhibitor. You can then choose to send an invite to the exhibitor, or just add the details without sending an invite.
**NB** : The email you add here will need to be used by the exhibitor to login to your event
Once you add the exhibitor, they will appear on the table and they can be invited to create their booth.

4\. Delete / restore exhibitors (To delete, see below)
5\. Change the order of exhibitors
On the main body of the table, you can

2\) and 3). View exhibitors' names and emails.
4\) Adjust the size of the booth

### Settings
The gives you two options:
1\. Allowing exhibitors to use the chat functionality in your event. The attendee will always have to ‘accept’ the chat if the exhibitor makes first contact. If this isn’t checked they won’t see the chat feature at all. (See [Professional Conference - Chat feature](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/_hcms/analytics/search/conversion?redirect=aHR0cHM6Ly9oZWxwLm94Zm9yZGFic3RyYWN0cy5jb20va25vd2xlZGdlL2FkdmFuY2VkLS8tdmlydHVhbC1wcm9ncmFtLWNoYXQtZmVhdHVyZQ%3D%3D&ct=SEARCH&pid=9108826&cid=48304785796&t=Y2hhdA%3D%3D&d=help.oxfordabstracts.com&c=5&rp=1&ab=false&opcid=caa0ee32-5797-4269-80b3-47a5e950530d&rs=UNKNOWN&hs-expires=1669112039&hs-version=1&hs-signature=APUk-v7FeAp371RUVS4SWNmH37klDk3VBg&hsLang=en) for guidance on setting up this feature.)
2\. Hiding your attendees' information until they've made first contact with the exhibitor
### Using exhibitors as session sponsors
Go to:
**Event dashboard → Program Builder → Settings → Sponsors**
When you add your sponsors you can link them directly to an existing exhibitor.
For guidance on setting up sponsors, see [Professional Conference - Sponsors](https://help.oxfordabstracts.com/_hcms/analytics/search/conversion?redirect=aHR0cHM6Ly9oZWxwLm94Zm9yZGFic3RyYWN0cy5jb20va25vd2xlZGdlL3Nwb25zb3JzaGlw&ct=SEARCH&pid=9108826&cid=52291597098&t=c3BvbnNvcnM%3D&d=help.oxfordabstracts.com&c=5&rp=1&ab=false&opcid=37404300-7c66-4601-ac91-3f596707e56d&rs=UNKNOWN&hs-expires=1669112289&hs-version=1&hs-signature=APUk-v4paWqmLXUUKBsxmuCKISPNu39E2A&hsLang=en)
Then, when you select your session sponsors, if they have a corresponding exhibitor booth, a link will show in the session for attendees to view the booth.
