Expo Manager review
A capable free foundation for organizers managing exhibitors, booths, tickets and check-in.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Expo Manager is event management software for expo, trade show, conference and career-fair organizers. It brings ticket sales, exhibitor bookings, booth management, floorplans, booking forms, payments, check-in, lead retrieval, analytics and attendee mobile access into one system. The product is particularly suited to small organizers that need a practical starting point for selling tickets and exhibition space while giving exhibitors a way to select stands, add services and pay online.
The Free plan costs $0 USD per month and includes unlimited events, ticketing with multi-currency checkout, exhibitor management, booth bookings, drag-and-drop booking forms, interactive floorplans and lead retrieval. The plan also covers payment gateway connections, check-in and session tracking, real-time analytics and an attendee mobile app across web, iOS and Android. A 5% platform fee applies per transaction, so organizers should weigh the low subscription cost against expected ticket, booth and service sales. No separate paid subscription tier is part of the published plan structure.
Its strongest fit is a compact event operation that values breadth over specialized workflow depth. Expo Manager covers booth assignment, application forms, payment collection and attendee-facing access, with Stripe, Square and PayPal available for payments. The connected checkout can support tickets, exhibition space, booth upgrades and event packages, while lead retrieval and analytics extend the system beyond registration. Organizers seeking messaging and contract workflows should choose another tool, while those focused on core exhibitor administration, floorplans, payments and check-in can find a broad feature set in the free plan.
