About Mapboot

Event maps should do more than show where things are.

Mapboot turns the floor plan into a practical, searchable web experience—so attendees can find what matters, exhibitors can be discovered, and organizers can run the map from one place.

Why we exist

A map is one of the first tools people reach for at an event. It should help them make a decision, not just orient themselves.

Mapboot is a Chicago-based, browser-first platform for trade shows, expos, public events, and destination spaces. We focus on the layer between a static floor plan and a better visitor experience: discovery, navigation, organizer-managed information, and the insight to improve each one.

Make discovery easier

Visitors can search by exhibitor, booth, category, product, or destination instead of scanning a crowded PDF.

Keep operations connected

Booth details, availability, and exhibitor information stay connected to the map your team manages.

Learn from use

Map activity can reveal what people search for, where interest is building, and where the attendee experience can improve.

The Mapboot approach

Built around the moments that matter before, during, and after an event.

The goal is a map that is useful on day one and easier to operate all the way through launch.

01 / Prepare

Start with the plan you have

Set up buildings, floors, and floor plans, then make the map ready for the details your event needs.

02 / Publish

Give visitors a better way in

Publish a shareable map or embed it into the event website, without asking attendees to download another app.

03 / Improve

Use what the map teaches you

Review search and engagement patterns to make smarter updates for this event and the next one.

Organizer-controlled information

Use the map as a clear public showcase for your event.

The map gives exhibitors and visitors useful context for each booth. Your team decides what to display, keeps the status current, and links people to the organizer website when they need to continue.

Availability shown on the map

Give visitors a visual way to find booths and review the information your team chooses to show.

Metadata and status in the editor

Edit booth details, exhibitor information, pricing, availability, and external links from one public map editor.

Your systems stay in charge

Mapboot directs visitors to your website, so forms, sales, registration, and event data remain on your infrastructure.

Designed for the whole event

One map, with a better outcome for each person who uses it.

A map becomes more valuable when it supports the people navigating the event and the team making it happen.

Attendees

Find the right booth, exhibitor, category, or destination without losing time on the show floor.

Exhibitors

Be easier to discover and present the details that help the right visitors find your booth.
