Maps play a crucial role, particularly for events taking place in physical venues. They significantly enhance attendees' experience by offering valuable information and simplifying event navigation. Eventify offers two types of maps: Interactive Map and Location Map. These maps are designed to provide attendees with essential details and facilitate seamless exploration of the event. And there is no limitation for setting up locations or floor plans.
The Maps feature in Eventify can be customized with a name of your preference, which will be displayed in the app and web interfaces for the event. Organizers from the admin panel can manage and edit the Maps section.
To add a new map, go to Content>> Maps and then simply click on the "Add New" button.
You will be presented with the option to choose between the Interactive Map or the Location Map.
Depending on your selection, a corresponding "Add Map" pop-up window will appear.
Interactive Map
The Interactive Map feature provides attendees with a floor plan that helps them locate exhibitor booth positions at the venue. Organizers can upload floor maps as interactive maps from the Admin Panel's Maps page. They also can set positions on the map and add exhibitors' details, such as their names, booth number, and contact information. This feature enhances the overall experience for both attendees and organizers, making it easier to navigate the event and connect with exhibitors. Follow these steps to add and create an Interactive Map.
Start by giving the Interactive Map a name and save it, which will create the canvas for your map.
Upload the floor plan onto the canvas, ensuring it meets the size requirements of a minimum of 400x400 and a maximum of 2000x2000.
Use the zoom function to better view larger maps and specific areas.
Click on "Add Booth" to mark booth areas on the map, and resize the area as needed.
Select the booth area and add booth details, including the Booth Name, Booth Number, and Booth Colour for identification.
Associate the booth with exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, and sessions, or leave it blank to associate later using the "Search & Link with Booth" feature.
Save the booth to add it to the map.
You also have the option to edit or delete a booth as necessary.
Location Map
The Location Map feature allows organizers to add a general location of the event venue, making it easily searchable. By pointing to the address on Google Maps, attendees can locate the venue using GPS. Follow these steps to add a Location Map:
Enter the Map Name >> Search for and select the Address
The City and State fields will be auto-filled, but you can also enter them manually if needed.
Enter the Zip Code.
Click on "Save Changes" to add the location to the map.
