Add a Virtual Map and Mapping Tradeshow "Booths" Follow

Pro Tip: It's a good idea to add your tradeshow exhibitors before your maps, so that you have exhibitors to put on your map graphic. Also, please ensure that each exhibitor has a location listed in the Location box on their profile -- the addition of a value in the Location field is what prompts the ability to place a location on to a map.

Maps must be in a graphics format (.jpg or .png) and have the exact design that you would like to display, including exhibitor/sponsor logos. The platform does not place the logos on to your map. We recommend the map size to be 1500 x 1850 pixels.

To add a map from the Dashboard menu:

1. Click Facilities
2. Select Add Map in the upper-right corner.
3. Type the name of the map
4. Upload the map you want to include from your computer.

To map your exhibitors to an uploaded map:

1. By default, meeting room locations will be displayed first in the menu on the left.  Select the Exhibitors/ Sponsors radio button from the upper-left corner, then click the name of the exhibitor you'd like to map.
2. You can choose a square, free-form shape, or "pin drop" for the location (see screenshot below).  Drag and drop your shape to cover the area on the map that this "booth" is in.
3. You have the option to hide the map marker for each location you create. This can be a useful feature if location markers included in the map graphic.
4. Once an exhibitor is mapped, a small square icon appears next to its name in the list.
