How do I get my exhibitor badges?

To get the whole team ready for Home & Gift, you must register them for their badges through our Exhibitor Hub.

This can be found in the E-Zone under Access > Aceess your Exhibitor Hub and Badges.

Are there any marketing materials I can share with my network?

Yes! Log in to your E-Zone and click the tab on the left that says "exhibitor badges and scanners". You will be taken to LiveBuzz's Exhibitor Hub where there is a section that says "Marketing Materials". Choose from a variety of assets created to help you promote your brand.

Who can be on my stand with me?

Anyone! We recommend having at least two people on a stand so that you can explore the show and leave for lunch and bathroom breaks without missing out on potential sales! Just make sure everyone who will be on your stand is registered for an exhibitor badge. With your free SmartScan app, you'll also receive unlimited users for your brand too.
