Sell dock slips and land space on one plan, size every berth to the vessel booked into it, and give visitors a map that works on the water and ashore.
Build your floor plan freeBoat show software allocates in-water slips and berths alongside land exhibits on a single plan. Map D handles slip and berth allocation, one connected land-and-water map, vessel details captured at booking, a dealer portal, and dockside wayfinding for visitors.

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!

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.

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. :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lay out docks, fingers, and slips as sellable spaces, match each berth to the vessel booked into it, and stop the same slip being sold twice.
Tents, land displays, and the marina appear on a single interactive map, so a dealer showing boats in the water and gear ashore is one exhibitor with one invoice.
Ask for length, beam, and draft on the booking form, and draw every slip at its real width and depth, so your team can confirm the vessel fits the berth before the order is approved.
Turn-by-turn from where the attendee is standing to the booth they saved.
Each dealer signs in to see their slip, their invoice, the services they have ordered, and a checklist of the documents and details you still need, with a due date against each one.
Visitors search a brand, tap the listing, and get walking directions down the right dock — instead of a paper map that blows away.
Upload the floor plan you already have and place your booths on it yourself, in Map D’s editor. Free to build, no contract, and nothing to install.

Common questions from boat show organizers about slips, combined land and water plans, vessel fit, and outdoor maps.
Request DemoYes. Docks and land areas sit on one plan, so a dealer can book a slip and a tent space and receive a single invoice.
Yes. Add your own booking-form questions for length, beam, and draft, and review them before approving the order, so a mismatch is caught by your team rather than at the dock.
Their slip, their invoice, any services they have ordered, and an onboarding checklist of everything you still need from them, each item with its own due date and status.
Yes. The map runs in any phone browser with no download, and search and directions follow the docks rather than sitting on a static image.
