5. Set up your Exhibitor Console- One of the most valuable tools for IMS Exhibitors is the Exhibitor Console. To receive the greatest benefit be sure to complete all the information including product fields, logo, company descriptions, etc. If you would like to see your logo on the floorplan, please follow the instructions for "Wallpaper" in the Multi-Media tab and select "Fit Inside Booth" and "Transparent" company letters. You can toggle to the floorplan using the link below to check sizing. Add Your Information to the Console (use the main contact’s email and setup a new password.)
6. Use the Exhibitor Tool Kit- Use the graphics in this toolkit to highlight your participation in IMS2023 on your website as well as social media. This will help generate buzz and increase booth traffic. Learn More
7. Consider a Sponsorship- Maximize your exposure with these sponsorship opportunities. 
8. Register Your Booth Staff- Your main contact can register all booth staff and disburse discounted conference registrations. Each 10X10 booth will be allotted 8 booth staff registrations for essential staff. Additional badges may also be ordered through the console. Exhibitor Registration will be accessed through the Exhibitor Console. Check out these helpful tips for registering!
9. Review the Exhibitor Planning Guide- This guide can be found on the IMS Website. It includes all the planning and logistical information and forms you need for a successful exhibit experience at IMS.  It is your one stop guide for rules and regulations, shipping, move-in information, ordering carpet and furnishings, etc. for your booth. This guide is also available online.
