The Event Map

Tailored for site-based organisations, conference venues, festivals and public spaces with recurring events. Maptivate provides the platform for these events with enhanced features for programming and speaker information.

Key benefits

  • Create a beautifully designed, interactive map of your venue that can be repurposed, updated and edited for special events and conferences.

  • Enhance your visitor’s experience with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) enabled way-finding. Visitors can search for information and map points to quickly and easily find what they are looking for. 

    Connect your visitors’ on-site experience with your libraries of digital content and information.

  • Instant language translation of your map’s content at the click of a button.

  • Add accessibility information and sensory awareness filters to your map for a more inclusive experience.

  • Add value to your clients’ events by providing them with an interactive digital map of your venue that they can easily edit and customise for their event, retreat or conference. 

    The Maptivate Event Map can be used by both venue staff and event management teams to aid with planning, as well as being a great tool for event speakers and delegates. 

    The ability to archive a map for a specific event means that it can be easily re-purposed for future events.

  • With our customised platform for events, you can add in event scheduled and speaker information straight into the map—keeping all the information for the event in one, easy to find place.

  • Easily edit and update content and map points with your own Content Management System.

  • For each map created, you’ll get access to a Content Management System (CMS) which will allow you and your team to easily update and edit map data and content. 

    We’ll help you set up the appropriate accounts to ensure that your nominated staff and/or clients (event organisers) have access to the CMS for their map. 

    For organisations with multiple sites or events to manage, this can be consolidated into one centralised system.

  • A live data dashboard will help you track visitor engagement and optimise experiences, target strategic and marketing decisions driven by real time site experience data.

  • Go digital and reduce the waste and costs associated with disposable paper maps.

Tract Forum 2023, Kingscliff

We created this interactive map to help visitors explore and connect with Kingscliff’s stunning landscapes, vibrant sounds, top attractions, outdoor activities, local dining spots, and of course the conference venue and program.

Designed for seamless navigation, the map provided an engaging digital experience that allowed users to interact with the town’s unique offerings in an intuitive way. Whether visitors were seeking adventure, relaxation, or hidden gems, our solution enhanced their journey and made exploring Kingscliff more immersive and enjoyable.

Built with Maptivate’s powerful platform, this project showcased how our interactive mapping technology transforms the way people discover and experience destinations.

The Mantra, Lorne

We created a Maptivate map of the Mantra in Lorne for the Victorian Planning & Environmental Law Association’s (VPELA) conference. Click the explore button below to see how we brought the Mantra’s venue and grounds to life, incorporating the information and content specific for this event. 

The Mantra Lorne now has a Maptivate map that they can easily edit and update for any event or client ongoing into the future.
