. Click Block Attendee to block the user from chatting with you.Expo is a feature in the Zoom Events product that allows event organizers to set up a virtual exhibition that connects attendees with other exhibitors and booths to discover more about their products and services.
Attendees can virtually explore and network, just as they would in person, with the expo floor. On the expo floor, you can enter a product booth, network with exhibitors, and interact with other attendees.
This article covers:
No. Your registration to the event will give you access to expo, assuming the event has expo enabled.
Note: Expo start/end times are not always the same as the conference event’s start/end times.
The event you’re participating in may not be a conference type. Currently, only conference events support expo, but only if the event organizer enables it.
Note: Event organizers can set expo to have different start/end times than the conference event’s start/end times.
Currently, we do not have a notification for when a space is open. You would need to click the Expo tab occasionally to see if you can enter.
When you choose to enable networking, your avatar will have a green ring around it, along with an Available to Network green heading in your virtual name tag. When you choose to disable networking, your avatar will have a gray ring around it, along with an Unavailable to Network gray heading in your virtual nametag.
As long as the other user has a green ring around their avatar (to show that networking is ‘on’), you should see the Chat button in the user’s profile. Clicking the Chat button will send a chat request to the other party. You can request to chat with other Attendees, Sponsors, guest Speakers, exhibitors, Booth Representatives, and so on. Please note if the other user has a gray ring around their avatar (networking ‘off’), you will not be able to see the Chat button in their profile.
Navigating around expo can be done using your mouse or keyboard. By clicking the location or direction you want to go, your avatar will move toward that location. You can also use the keyboard arrow keys to move your avatar. The mouse wheel, mouse pad, trackpad for zooming (2-finger pinch), and +/- keys will zoom in or out of the expo floor.
While you can view your avatar at all times, other attendees' avatars will appear once you start zooming in on the expo floor. You can use the Near Me feature to find users and booths that are near you.
Certain fields in the virtual name tag are optional, but, if publicly visible, any users in expo are able to view the information you provided.
Your 1:1 chats in expo will remain in the chat list for the duration of the event. If you chat with another user then leave expo and come back, you can continue your chat conversation as long as the other user is still in expo. If the other user is not present and you leave a chat message, the other user will not be aware and will not see the chat message until they return to expo.
Note: If the person you’re chatting with is no longer in expo, that conversation in your Chat List will not show up until the person re-joins expo.
No, your 1:1 chats will be deleted 30 days after the event is closed and will not appear in any future events.

Note: Once you block a user, you cannot unblock them.
