If you have additional questions or options for your exhibitors to select, you can set up custom fields to include in their registration.

1. On the Event's Exhibitor Setup tab, find the Custom Fields section and click the black plus icon .
2. In the "Add Event Exhibitor Custom Field" window, complete the following:

   • Existing Custom Field: if you are using an existing custom field, make your selection here. (NOTE: only existing custom fields of type Event Exhibitor are available to select.) Selecting an existing field will remove the "Field Area" option from the window and will populate the remainder of the fields with the selected field's properties , greying out any changes to the options as shown below:
      

     

   • Name (Required if adding a new custom field)
