A trade exhibition organizer rents out booth space to dozens of exhibiting companies within a single event fixed to a date and venue, coordinating booth construction, AV setup and catering with several contractors at once. Costs swing sharply from one exhibition cycle to the next, which makes tracking each event's budget on its own essential.
No credit card — your system is ready in two minutes

The cycle starts with booking the exhibition's date and venue through Appointments, then logging each exhibiting company as a Customer tied to the booth space and rate it has booked. The exhibition itself runs as its own Project, checking the approved budget against the real cost of booth construction, AV setup and catering as it's incurred, while an e-invoice goes out to each exhibitor at booking and another once its booth is handed over. Your Suppliers records keep booth-building and AV contractors' delivery dates on track in the days before the exhibition opens.
Appointments prevents the same venue being double-booked for another event on the same date, and lets you plan ahead for busy exhibition seasons and order exhibitor booking requests by priority.
Every exhibiting company is logged as a Customer tied to its booth size, price and floor position, so you know instantly which booths are sold and which remain without a separate paper floor plan.
The exhibition's Project checks the approved budget for setup and promotion against the real cost of construction and AV as it's spent -- essential since every cycle's costs differ from the last.
Exhibition days need reception and supervision staff beyond your core team, and HR records let you log their attendance and calculate what's owed accurately for each cycle.
