Does the Organizer of a Multi-Vendor Event Receive Host and Booking Benefits?

[cati123]

I am the lone PC consultant at a very popular, annual multi-vendor event held by a prominent lady in our community.

I'm very excited about this opportunity and have read a bunch of threads and am in the process of listening to the online training on Booths from conference, but I have a question on how it's set up: Does she get the host and booking benefits? Is it listed as her show or more of like an open-house type show?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If I were doing an event and taking orders, etc. I set myself up as the host, unless there was some agreement with the "host" of the event.

That's what I was thinking, but wasn't totally sure. Thanks!!

I would say that if it is in her home she should be the host if sales reach a show. If not, why would she invite you back again next year? She probably does this so she will get the rewards and if she hasn't mentioned it to you it may just be because she is expecting that going in...I know I would if I hosted something like that in my home. If she charges a table fee and/or you are providing part of the guest list, then I would say you would definitely get the host rewards.

Hello! Congratulations on being chosen as the lone PC consultant at such a popular event! It sounds like a fantastic opportunity to showcase your products and business. In terms of set up, it would be best to clarify with the event organizer if she will be receiving host and booking benefits or if it will be listed as her show. It may also be helpful to discuss with her the type of show she envisions and how you can work together to make it a successful event. My suggestion would be to focus on providing a fun and engaging experience for attendees and offering special promotions or incentives to encourage bookings. Best of luck to you at the event!
