Everything you need to sell booths and sponsorships

Self-Serve Checkout

Map D enables exhibitors to independently select booths, add sponsorship upgrades, and complete payments directly from an interactive trade show floor plan. Organizers can upload a venue layout, place booths with precision using snap-to-grid tools, and publish a live map that exhibitors can access anytime. This self-serve model eliminates long email threads, reduces sales friction, and accelerates booth bookings.

Live Availability

With real-time updates built into Map D's trade show floor plan software, booth availability stays accurate at all times. As exhibitors reserve or release space, the interactive map updates instantly, keeping everyone aligned. Organizers can also reserve premium or strategic locations for sponsors or key vendors and release them when ready—without manual intervention or risk of double bookings.

Upsell Add-Ons

Map D makes sponsorship upsells effortless by integrating them directly into the booth selection and checkout experience. Organizers can showcase add-ons such as featured listings, premium placements, or digital visibility opportunities directly on the live map. This allows exhibitors and sponsors to clearly see the value of upgrades, increasing conversion rates without requiring additional sales outreach.
