Adding brands to events

Brands are global records in PM One. To make a brand appear as an exhibitor at a specific event, you add it to that event and fill in booth details like number, size, and type.

Brands vs. brand-events

A brand is the global company record: name, logo, description, contacts. It exists independently of any event.

A brand-event is the relationship between a brand and a specific event. It holds booth-specific data: booth number, booth type, fascia name, and any custom fields your project defines.

One brand can participate in many events. Each participation is a separate brand-event with its own booth details.

Adding a brand to an event

1. Open your event and go to the Brands tab
2. Click Add brand
3. Search for an existing brand, or create a new one
4. Fill in booth details: number, type, size, and price
5. Click Save

Bulk import

For events with many exhibitors, use the import feature:

1. Click Import on the event's brand list
2. Download the Excel template
3. Fill in brand names, booth numbers, and other fields
4. Upload the completed file

The importer matches brands by name. If a brand does not exist yet, the system creates it.

Reordering brands

Drag and drop brands in the event's brand list to control the order they appear on the event website's exhibitor page.

Common questions

Q: If I update a brand's global profile, does it affect all events?

The brand name, logo, and description are global. Changes apply everywhere. Booth details (number, type) are event-specific and do not cross over.

Q: Can I remove a brand from an event without deleting the brand itself?

Yes. Removing a brand from an event only deletes the brand-event relationship. The global brand record stays intact.
