Adding Exhibitors
Three ways to add exhibitors to your event — self-registration, manual, or bulk import.
Adding Exhibitors
Exhibitors are the companies presenting at your event. FairUp gives you three ways to add them — pick what works best for your setup.
Option 1: Self-registration (recommended ✅)
Let exhibitors register themselves through your event's exhibitor page.
- Share the exhibitor registration link with potential exhibitors
- They fill in their company details and select a package
- You review and approve (or set up auto-approval)
- Done — the exhibitor gets access to their dashboard
Why we recommend this: No manual data entry for you, exhibitors provide accurate information, and it scales to any number of exhibitors.
💡 Pro-Tipp: Enable auto-approval if you want to save time. You can always revoke access later.
Option 2: Manual add
Add exhibitors yourself from the organizer dashboard:
- Go to Exhibitors in the navigation bar
- Click Add Exhibitor
- Enter the company details
- Assign them to your event
Best for: Late additions, walk-in exhibitors, or when you already have the data.
Option 3: Bulk import
Import multiple exhibitors from a CSV file. Ideal when migrating from another system or adding a large number at once.
After adding exhibitors
Once added, exhibitors can:
- Complete their company profile (logo, description, social links)
- Add job listings to the Job Board
- Manage their team members
- Access billing and invoices
FAQ
Can exhibitors register before I set up packages?
Yes — they'll register without a package and you can assign one later.
What if an exhibitor registers twice?
FairUp detects duplicates by company name. You can merge or decline the duplicate.
Can I limit the number of exhibitors?
Yes — set a maximum in your event settings. New registrations will join the waitlist when the limit is reached.
