Why booking structure matters
A focused exhibition booking form collects space, timing, headcount, and access details before follow-up.
Offer named booth packages, visit dates, and arrival windows instead of unstructured preferences.
Use conditional questions so exhibitors see setup and utility fields while visitors see party-size and accessibility questions.
Route choices and notes to the organizer who can confirm or suggest another option.
Two booking journeys
Exhibitors and visitors need different fields. Keep each response useful to the team handling it.
Capture company, booth tier, location preferences, utilities, staff passes, and setup timing.
Collect a proposal, portfolio, artwork count and dimensions, preferred dates, installation needs, and image files.
Present a concise booking path for date, arrival window, party size, accessibility needs, and practical visit updates.
Ask for age range, group size, transport, learning goals, workshops, and schedule options.
Booking workflow
Generate the structure, add your real options, publish, and keep follow-up tied to each response.
Describe whether people request booths, propose artwork, reserve entry, or arrange group visits.
Add your packages, time windows, capacity notes, required fields, and branching by booking type.
Share the link in outreach and visitor information, or embed it on the exhibition page.
Send responses to an inbox or spreadsheet, then confirm each choice or suggest an alternative.
Form vs email vs static file
Compare how consistently each method captures facts that organizers can sort and review.
Field guide
Use these six sections as a checklist, keeping only details your team will act on.
Booker details
Capture the contact who owns the request. Add a company or school when relevant.
Space or entry choice
Use the same booth, room, date, and arrival-window labels shown on your exhibition page.
Capacity details
Party size and staffing affect capacity. Break totals into useful groups.
Exhibit requirements
Collect dimensions and installation needs early, using conditional fields to hide them from visitors.
Access and safety notes
Let bookers describe accessibility and preparation needs without requiring unnecessary personal details.
Confirmation expectations
If staff review capacity, use the thank-you message to explain the next step and response channel.

Answers for organizers planning booth and visitor bookings.
It collects requests for booth space, exhibits, visitor entry, or group visits. Typical fields cover contacts, preferred space or time, headcount, access needs, and organizer notes.
Yes. Start with booking type, then show conditional paths. Exhibitors see booth and setup fields; visitors see date, party-size, and accessibility fields. Use separate forms if different teams own the journeys.
List real packages with dimensions and included items. Ask for two preferences when staff assign space after review, and clearly label each selection as a request rather than a confirmed allocation.
Yes. Offer dates and arrival windows, then collect party size and access needs. Keep choices aligned with the public schedule and say whether slots are immediate or reviewed.
Yes. Request artwork images, a portfolio, concept, dimensions, piece count, installation needs, and preferred dates. Collect enough for initial curatorial review, not a full installation plan.
Yes. Makeform includes unlimited free forms and responses. You can generate, edit, publish, and collect bookings without a response cap; the paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Responses arrive in your Makeform inbox and can flow to Google Sheets, Slack, or Zapier. Route exhibitors, visitors, artists, and groups to the appropriate team.
Repeat the booking type and preference, explain the next step, and say when staff review is required. Include an organizer contact plus any confirmed arrival or setup instructions.
