Guidebook - Mobile App (build your very own virtual booth)

We will again this year be using a mobile app that will allow you to build your own virtual booth within the app.  This space allows for custom branding, videos, pictures, links to social media and links to your website.  After signing your contract you will receive an email from show staff with either your receipt or invoice, and you will receive an invitation to collaborate on your virtual booth.  This email will be coming from guidebot@guidebook.com and will be sent to the names listed on the signed contract. If you set up a virtual booth up last year, your  booth infomation has been copied over into the 2025 app and is a starting point for you to continue to build out your branded virtual space.
