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.

Indoor Halls & Outdoor Equipment Yards

Draw the exhibit hall and the outdoor lot on the same plan, so a supplier with a booth inside and machinery outside appears once in the directory and once on the invoice.

Your questions answered

Common questions from construction and home show organizers about outdoor space, equipment requirements, booth shapes, and services.

Request Demo

Can we sell outdoor lot space and indoor booths in the same show?

Yes. Outdoor lots are drawn on the same plan as the hall, so an exhibitor can buy both and receive a single invoice and a single portal login.

How do we capture requirements from heavy equipment exhibitors?

Add your own questions to the booking form, including file uploads, so exhibitors declare weights, dimensions, and rigging needs when they book. Orders can require your approval before they are confirmed, so nothing is committed unreviewed.

Do you support island and irregular booth shapes?

Yes. Spaces are drawn at their real dimensions, so island, peninsula, bulk, and irregular footprints price and sell as themselves.

Can exhibitors order utilities and services online?

Yes. Power, water, rigging, and other services are add-ons exhibitors order from their portal, and they appear on the same invoice as the space.
