FIND SESSIONS RELEVANT TO YOUR ROLE & ORGANIZATION
No matter your organization type or business function, you are sure to find plenty of scheduled educational sessions relevant to you. Most sessions last 45-60 minutes, and there are several sessions taking place at one time.
Because of this, we recommend that you take a look at the full event schedule and take note of sessions that would be valuable to you. You can also view a short description, location, and speaker details for each session in advance of the show. This will help you attend relevant sessions while making time for booth visits, appointments, networking, and fun in between.
PLAN YOUR VISITS WITH EXHIBITORS
With nearly 400 exhibitors attending Apartmentalize, how can you make sure you visit the ones relevant to you? We recommend using this interactive floorplan to search by exhibitor, booth number, or product category so that you can devise an efficient plan to visit every booth you wish to stop by. Alternatively, you can view an alphabetical list of exhibitors here. By creating a free MyExpo Planner account, you can easily “save” exhibitors to your custom show agenda.
Whether you’re evaluating new solutions or looking to meet with exhibitors you already work with, it might be helpful for you to think of questions you’d like to ask in advance of the conference. In order to get the most out of your time on the show floor, you can also keep track of your questions in MyExpo Planner to quickly reference them and take additional notes.
