MapD is indeed a welcome and needed change for the way we sell booths and handle our awesome exhibitors. With being in our 20th year, we needed a system that would take the guesswork out of exhibitor payments, accounting, floor plan assignments and more! MapD has helped us sell more booths in a shorter time frame and we will most definitely continue to use them!

MapD is one of the most user friendly systems I have found for floor plan software. The customer service received after signing up goes unmatched by any other systems I have used. MapD has truly made my job easier as an Exhibit Manager and helps to promote and sell booth space with the interactive floor plan I can deliver to my vendors.

Map D is an amazing platform and easy to use! We worked with Map D for our virtual annual conference last year and it worked like a charm. When we held our annual conference in-person for the first time in two years, our first choice for our conference app was Map D!

I just came back from show site. This week I had my largest show ever. I had 247 exhibitors and I had 247 happy exhibitors. And a lot of that is a result of they were able to get their badges, update their profile, reach out to me anytime they want to.

Exporting exhibitors is really helpful for me. Fern needs a list of all our exhibitors with their booth number and what size it's going to be. Just exporting that list and getting it to whoever I'm working with at Fern is so incredibly helpful.

I'm probably your only customer who uses it to sell campsites, but it works really well. I just give them a drawing and they put it all together for me. I don't have to do it - it saves me many hours.

Your questions answered

Common questions from auto show organizers about exhibitor onboarding, trade previews, outdoor activations, and vehicle dimensions.

Request Demo

How do we collect what we need from each manufacturer before the show?

Through the onboarding checklist. Set the documents, details, and deadlines you need from every exhibitor, track who has completed what, and approve submissions from one queue.

Can we run a trade-only preview day and a public show?

Yes. Separate credential types and access windows let you run trade previews and public days from one registration system.

Can we map outdoor ride-and-drive areas?

Yes. Outdoor tracks and activation zones are drawn on the same plan as the hall and can be sold like any other space.

Are display spaces drawn to actual vehicle dimensions?

Yes. Spaces are drawn at their real width and depth in feet, so you can check how each stand sits against the aisles and its neighbours before the floor is committed.
