Coordinate with marketing and operations on physical fulfillment: signage placement, branded assets, hospitality space, badge scanning, and meeting rooms
Floor plan and inventory
Create and manage exhibit floor plans, including booth assignments, using floor plan software
Track sponsorship inventory by event — sold, held, and available — and flag under-performing assets before they go stale
