Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers regarding pre-event surges, exhibitor data security, floor plan software, and timezone flexibility.
Can your virtual assistants manage live interactive floor plan software like ExpoFP or MapYourShow?
Yes. Our exhibition virtual assistants are experienced in configuring and updating interactive floor plans on ExpoFP, MapYourShow, and A2Z Personify. They process booth size changes, reserve stands for high-priority sponsors, update exhibitor company profiles, and ensure real-time inventory synchronization with your sales team.
How do you handle the sudden surge in workload right before show move-in?
We understand the unique lifecycle of trade shows. You can start with our Part-Time plan (20 hrs/week) during early booth sales and seamlessly ramp up to our Full-Time plan (40 hrs/week) or add surge support as the move-in deadline approaches. Your Dedicated Project Manager coordinates all coverage without any contract penalties or renegotiations.
Can the assistant manage exhibitor insurance (COI) and risk assessment audits?
Yes. Chasing and cross-referencing Certificates of Insurance (COIs), method statements, electrical orders, and stand builder plans is one of our core competencies. The VA monitors submission dead-lines, validates policy expiration dates against event days, and alerts your venue safety officer of any non-compliant booths well in advance.
How does having a Dedicated Project Manager benefit our event production?
Your Dedicated Project Manager acts as your single operational checkpoint. Rather than training individual assistants on your exhibition manual rules and ticketing policies, your PM reviews your run-of-show, verifies accuracy on outgoing sponsor assets, and ensures tasks are completed on time. The Project Manager's supervision is 100% free.
Are there any hidden platform fees, markups, or lock-in contracts?
None. Unlike traditional marketplaces that mark up invoices by 20%–40% or lock you into yearly retainers, Sagedoer provides clear, predictable billing at $7/hr (Part-Time) or $6/hr (Full-Time). You pay strictly for pure hours worked.
