How do I create a new Expo?

1. Create a new Expo

If you click on the “Expos” area in the left menu bar of your Virtrex Admin Panel, the overview area of all expos will open. Here you will find the button “Create Expo” on the right-hand side. If you click this button, a pop-up window will open (see image 1 below) and you can start creating your Expo.

To create your Expo, you will need the following information:

• Expo Type: Select what type of Expo you want to create. Please note that you cannot change this after you have created the Expo.

  • Expo with one brand: an Expo for your brand only; you cannot invite other brands to the Expo.

  • Expo with other partner brands: an Expo to which you can invite other participating brands.

• Visibility: select whether the Expo landing page should be private or public.

  • Private: the Expo is only accessible with a personalized invitation.

  • Public: the Expo is freely accessible with a link.

• Languages: Select the languages you would like to provide the visitors of your expo. Please note that you also need to add this language to your brand profile. 

  • English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish.

• Expo name: This name will be displayed on the Expo landing page. Please make sure to add it in all selected languages.

• Expo description: This description will be displayed to your visitors when they enter the Expo. Again, please make sure that you specify this in all selected languages.

Note: You can change any of this information after you create the Expo (see image 2 below), but not the type of Expo.

Once you click “Create Now”, you can start completing your Expo.
