The Event Cloud makes it easy for Sponsors to connect with Attendees. With live chat enabled in your booth, you will be able to network and ask questions about the company.

To login to chat within a Sponsor booth, you must first be logged in and able to navigate to the company's booth.

To do this, first login to the Event Cloud site, and make sure you are on the Schedule Builder module. Navigate to the Sponsors page.

1. Navigate to the Schedule Builder Portal
2. Click Sponsor
3. Click the Sponsor logo to enter the sponsor booth
4. Click into the field to type your message. Hit enter to submit.
5. To expand the side menu to view users, options, and more, simply click on the arrow at the top left of the chat
6. To access settings for the chat click the gear icon. Please note that if you log out of the chat, you will need to refresh your page before you can log back in.
7. To share a file in chat, select the paper clip icon. You can then select one of the four options: 'Add file' (this includes but is not limited to .doc, .pdf, .png, .mp4, .m4a, .xls, .ppt), 'Take photo', 'Record audio', or 'Record video'

Private Messages

Please note that chat features and functionality will vary based on the type of chat your event administrator has chosen to utilize. 

If private messages are enabled in your chat, you can send a private message to users in the chat. To send a private message, expand the menu as shown above, and click on the user's name. A private message window will pop up, and you can send a private message.

Please note that the user's name who you are messaging will be displayed at the top of the window. You can close out of your private message, and return to it at any time during the chat.
