Welcome to the Space Builder User Guide

The Space Builder is an interactive application that allows an sponsor to design and configure the look and feel of their sponsor space. Using pre-defined styles, unlimited color palettes and a variety of existing content, the Space Builder allows each sponsor to easily configure their own unique combination of pre-defined and custom elements to make their sponsor space an exciting, one-of-a-kind experience for every sponsor space visitor. The following guide is designed to help you learn more about the Space Builder and guide you through your sponsor space building process.


Steps Overview:

Below is a brief overview of all the steps that are available in the Space Builder. This is intended to help you familiarize yourself with the sponsor space building process. Each of the steps listed below is discussed in greater detail in the later sections of this guide.

  • Space Name
    The name you enter in this step will be displayed in the event’s directory of sponsors. This name may also be used as your sponsor space logo if you do not have an image. Your company logo is always preferred.
  • Space Colors
    This step allows you to choose the primary and secondary colors for your sponsor space. These can be your company’s colors, or colors that compliment or highlight your company logo.
  • Space Style
    This step allows you to select a visual representation of your sponsor space. This is the graphic the visitor will see when they enter your sponsor space. There are several different sponsor space styles to choose from. Space styles are chosen for aesthetic value or to match your corporate image, however each style offers identical functionality.
  • Space Logo
    This step allows you to add a logo or a title to your sponsor space by linking to an image that is hosted on your company's website or uploading a file from your local or network drive. If a company logo is not available, you can elect to display a text version of your company’s name; you can select the font and color of the text.
  • About Us
    This step allows you to add a brief message that will pop-up when the users mouse over your sponsor space on the event floor. This is a great opportunity to drive attendees to your sponsor space by highlighting content.
  • Space Front Screen
    This step allows you to add a static image, an animated image, or a video to your sponsor space by either linking to a file that is hosted on your company's website or by uploading a file from your local or network drive. The front screen is a eventcase area within the sponsor space and a video welcome is the perfect use for this video screen.
  • Video Collection
    Upload multiple videos that display in your welcome panel. Users upload the video(s) to view through by selecting the browse button.
  • Documents and Links
    Once you have all of your documents and links added, the tabs you create will allow you to compile relative information together for easy access by sponsor space visitors. This step allows you to add documents or links to your sponsor space by either linking to a file that is hosted on your company's website or uploading a file from your local or network drive. The maximum number of files and links that can be added to your sponsor space is defined by the host and displayed at the top.
  • Space Tab Content
    This step allows you to configure the number, the titles, and the order of all the tabs that you want to place in your sponsor space and determine what type of content is displayed under each. Note: The number and type of tabs will vary depending upon the configuration of your event. Check with your event host or your primary event contact for more information.
    • Select Documents and Links: Choosing this option allows you to configure the tab to open and select from a list of documents and links that were uploaded in your sponsor space in the "Documents and Links" step.
    • External Webpage: Choosing this option allows you to configure the tab to open a specified URL.
    • Raw HTML Content: Choosing this option allows you to configure the tab to display a custom HTML page. You can copy and paste HTML code, or use the “Edit HTML” button to edit the content and formatting of the page that will be displayed. This option is perfect if you would like to create a custom web page that is not already hosted on another website.
    • Chat Room: Choosing this option allows you set up a chat room in your sponsor space. You can create the chat room and then assign it to your content tab.
    • RSS & Social Media: Choosing this option allows you set up a an RSS, Twitter, Facebook or Linkedin social media network.
    • Blog Space: Choosing this option allows you set up a blog space in your sponsor space. You can create the blog space and then assign it to your content tab.
  • Marquee Message
    This step allows you to add a scrolling message to your sponsor space. The marquee message is typically used to add a welcome message, highlight a special product/deal/promotion, or make an important announcement. You can select the background color of the marquee, the color of the text, and the speed that the message scrolls. You may only input one marquee message, and the message cannot be changed during the event.
  • Space Staff
    This step allows you to add your sponsor space staffers' names, e-mail addresses, login IDs and passwords. When the staffers log into the event, they are displayed in your sponsor space under the “Space Staff” tab and can interact with sponsor space visitors. It is important that you determine your sponsor space staff and ensure their availability for the sneak preview day and the live presentation day. Like an in-person presentation, having the right staff supporting your sponsor space can make all the difference in the quality of the overall experience for the presentation attendees.
  • Search Words
    You can provide a list of keywords to associate with your space. When someone performs a search, the search phrase they provide will be compared to the list of search terms you have defined. Type the list of words below with each word separated by a comma. (ex. "affiliate,network,consulting")

IMPORTANT: The order and/or title of each step may differ from event to event, however the capabilities of each step outlined below will remain the same.

Note: Not all features may be available in your event. Please check with your event host or your primary event contact to find out which features are applicable to your event.
