Buildup

The exhibitor portal for event organisers

Every exhibitor ready for show day, without the chasing.

One place where every exhibitor completes what the show needs from them, and one place where the ops team sees who has done it. Exhibitors sign in with a link, no password, and work through a single checklist for their stand.

What exhibitors do

Every item shows its deadline and its status, so nobody has to ask what is outstanding.

Listing

Company name, logo, description and categories for the directory and printed guide.

Stand

Drawings and contractor details, or a fascia name for shell scheme. Insurance certificate.

Staff

Names and details for passes, within the allowance.

Orders

Extras and onsite services from the organiser's own catalogue, invoiced through the portal.

What the organiser's team sees

The whole show on one screen, every stand and every gap. Each role sees only what it needs.

Ops

Set up exhibitors, set deadlines, review what comes in, chase what's missing.

Marketing

Approve listings and export them for the guide, website and app.

Finance

See orders, attach the invoice, mark it paid.

Registration

Collect staff details and hand them to the badge system.

Built for ops teams managing exhibitors across multiple events

Each edition of a show is its own space, set up in minutes from last year's, with the manual, halls, prices and team carried across. Emails go out from the organiser's name, and replies come back to a real person. Buildup replaces the spreadsheets, PDF forms and email threads that run build-up today.

Pricing

One subscription for your ops team, priced on how many exhibitors are active right now. Close an event and its exhibitors stop counting. Open the next one and they start. Change plan any month, up or down.

All plans: unlimited portfolios, events, editions and team seats.
