Replacing the halls and stand numbers for exhibitor via API parameters should replace the pre-scheduled existing meetings with the new Halls & stand numbers

Hall and Stand update via API

When adding a new hall and stand to an exhibitor, the parameters hall and stand can be used to send the hall and stand names from the floor plan. However, updating those fields demand the addition of extra parameters: hall_replacement and stand_replacement.

Similar to what happens on Exhibitor Import, to update the Hall and Stand information, the following parameters should be used:

• hall - Current/old hall name on floor plan

• replacement_hall - New hall name on floor plan

• stand - Current/old stand name on floor plan

• replacement_stand - New stand name on floor plan

Here is the complete documentation on the Set Exhibitor API.

Impact on Meeting Location

If an exhibitor has scheduled meetings for its event location and their hall and stand are updated, the meeting location will also change accordingly.

Practical Example

Let’s consider the following Exhibitor:

• name - Seda

• exhibitor_id - 2547

• hall - Hall 9

• stand - 12

Here’s what it looks like on the Exhibitor list from the admin panel:

Here’s what the exhibitor profile looks like on the frontend:

Let’s consider this exhibitor has a future meeting that was already scheduled for its previous location “Hall: Hall 9, Stand:12”, as seen below:

Now, replacing the Hall information from “Hall 9” to “Hall 1” and the Stand information from “12” to “B1” via API, for instance, would look like something like this on Postman:

After this API request is sent, here is the updated hall and stand information on the exhibitor list from the admin panel:

And the same data is updated on the exhibitor profile on the frontend:

Now, the meeting that was previously scheduled is also altered to the new location, as seen below:
