What our customers say

See how event teams use MapD to run smoother events.

MapD is the best option for our expos. Our clients love the registration process! Data organization and exports are simple and easy. Fast reliable customer support feels like family. The wide variety of tools available for us allow us to grow and still feel well accommodated.

Kyle Michaud

President @ Experience Expositions

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!

Ta'ron Joyner

Exhibitor Acquisitions Manager @ Taliah Waajid

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.

Casey Hiner

Meeting Architect @ Kinsley

The support of our vendors and partners allows us to put these events together, so again, thank you. I hope you have enjoyed this year's Virtual A-Day! The platform is amazing and so easy to use. :)

Alyssa Meek

Events manager @ DFWAE

I am really excited about this. The staff met with me this morning and we all LOVE the platform. People are already filling out their booths.

Lisa Veregge

Director, International Trade and Development @ Maine Insurance Agents Association

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!

Rori Shaw

Executive Director @ Texas Society of CPAs

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.

Yalonde Tanner

Show Manager @ Georgia Municipal Association

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.

Laura Webb

Event Coordinator @ Multi Family Northwest

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 public sector event organizers about vendor approval, accessibility, directories, and record keeping.

Request Demo

Can we review and approve vendors before they appear publicly?

Yes. Applications route through an approval queue with required documentation, and nothing publishes until your team signs off.

What is your accessibility position?

We publish an accessibility statement setting out the WCAG standard we work to, where we currently stand against it, and how to report a barrier. We would rather tell you precisely where we fall short than publish a conformance claim we cannot support.

Can attendees find vendors by contract vehicle or business classification?

Yes. Categories and attributes are yours to define, and both the directory and the map can be filtered by them.

Can we export data for oversight and reporting?

Yes. Registration, exhibitor, and order data is reportable and exportable, so you can meet oversight and reporting requirements without rebuilding the numbers by hand.
