Booth Sales & Sponsorship

Empower exhibitors to select their preferred booth, purchase sponsorship add-ons, and complete payments online through a single, interactive experience. MapD’s booth sales and sponsorship management software replaces manual coordination with self-serve tools that simplify space selection, speed up purchasing decisions, and reduce back-and-forth for your team. While exhibitors move faster and gain clarity, organizers benefit from improved visibility, better inventory control, and increased revenue across booths and sponsorships.

Self-Serve Checkout

MapD enables exhibitors to independently select booths, add sponsorship upgrades, and complete payments directly from an interactive trade show floor plan. Organizers can upload a venue layout, place booths with precision using snap-to-grid tools, and publish a live map that exhibitors can access anytime. This self-serve model eliminates long email threads, reduces sales friction, and accelerates booth bookings. 

Live Availability

With real-time updates built into MapD’s trade show floor plan software, booth availability stays accurate at all times. As exhibitors reserve or release space, the interactive map updates instantly, keeping everyone aligned. Organizers can also reserve premium or strategic locations for sponsors or key vendors and release them when ready—without manual intervention or risk of double bookings. 

Upsell Add-Ons

MapD makes sponsorship upsells effortless by integrating them directly into the booth selection and checkout experience. Organizers can showcase add-ons such as featured listings, premium placements, or digital visibility opportunities directly on the live map. This allows exhibitors and sponsors to clearly see the value of upgrades, increasing conversion rates without requiring additional sales outreach.
