ⓘ This article is for Event Organizers
You’ve got a big event coming up, and we’re here to make sure it runs seamlessly — from the moment your equipment arrives to the last badge printed onsite. To make that happen, we just need a few key details from you through the Event Logistics Form (ELF) in Expo Pass.
Think of the ELF as your event’s backstage pass — it’s where you’ll share essential details about shipping, setup, internet needs, and registration support. Completing it ensures our team has everything ready for a smooth, on-time onsite experience.
Please submit the ELF as soon as possible (and no later than two weeks before your event) so we can prep every detail behind the scenes.
Where to find the Event Logistics Form (ELF)
You can access the Event Logistics Form (ELF) directly in your Expo Pass Event Admin site. It’s located in the first section, right under your Event.
❗ Important: If you see an error message when trying to open the ELF, please contact Event Success using the red chat bubble in the lower right-hand corner of your event page -> please be sure to include your name and the name of your event when reaching out.
Event Logistics Form (ELF) General Overview
The Event Logistics Form (ELF) is divided into five sections:
Event Details
Live Event Coverage
Onsite Details
Equipment Arrival
Equipment Departure
The Event Details section is always visible. The other four sections start in a collapsed view. To open a section, simply click anywhere within the section box. To close it again, click the section header name.
❗ Important: Within the Event Logistics Form (ELF), any field marked with a red asterisk (*) is required. These fields must be completed before you can save that section.
You will not be able to save a section that’s missing required information, so make sure all required fields are filled out before moving on!
Blue "Save" Button: Each section of the Event Logistics Form (ELF) can be saved individually once completed — no need to wait until the entire form is finished.
We encourage you to complete and click “Save” on each section as you go. This ensures your information is stored safely and allows our Event Success team to review details as they’re submitted.
Green "Unlocked" Indicator: A green “Unlocked” indicator means the section is open and ready to be completed. It has not yet been locked by the Expo Pass Event Success team, so you’re free to enter and save your information.
Green "Locked" Indicator: A green “Locked” indicator means the section has been reviewed by the Expo Pass Event Success team and is now closed for edits. Sections are locked to prevent changes that could impact your equipment setup or shipping logistics.
If you notice any incorrect information, please contact Event Success using the red chat bubble in the lower right-hand corner of your event page.

We recommend starting at least two hours before your badge printing is scheduled to go live, or earlier if you have multiple printers or a larger setup. Whenever possible, set up the day before your event so you have time to test and troubleshoot without pressure.
❗ Important: Early morning or late-night setups are strongly discouraged, as our remote support team may not be available during those times.
💡 Tip: Make sure your tables, linens, power, and internet are fully in place before setting up your badge printing equipment.
