What is the best seating chart maker for events?

A seating chart maker lays out the tables and seats in a room so you can see what fits before the event. Map D draws round, banquet, classroom, cocktail, stage and counter tables to scale, draws each table's chairs from the seat count you set, and publishes the layout with your floor plan.

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 about seating chart maker.

Request Demo

Can we plan both tables and individual seats?

Yes. Tables draw their chairs from the seat count you set, and single chairs, armchairs, loveseats and sofas can be placed on their own.

Can guests look up their own seat?

Not as a documented feature. Attendees see the tables on your published floor plan, but assigning a guest list to seats and a guest seat finder are not something Map D's help documentation describes. Named seating is documented for matchmaking round tables.

Can we change the plan at the last minute?

Yes. Edit the plan at any time and publish again to update what attendees see. Each publish saves a version you can go back to.

How is the seating chart maker priced?

Map D prices per event, not per attendee, seat, or booth, so a bigger event does not change the plan price. See the pricing page for current plans.
