- Full bookings handled online
- No more paper forms or bank transfers

Project Overview
For years, trade shows, fairs, and local events have relied on a mess of PDFs, cheques, and email threads to manage exhibitor bookings. It’s time-consuming, error-prone, and a major pain for organisers during their busiest months.
