In short

What is an AI floor plan generator for events?

An AI floor plan generator drafts an event layout from instructions instead of manual drawing. Map D’s AI Floor Plan Assistant works inside the floor plan editor: describe the hall and booths in plain English or import the drawing you already have to trace, and every change arrives as a proposal you review, apply and can undo in one step.

How it works

From floor plan to sold show floor in four steps

  1. 1Build the floor planUpload the layout you already have or describe it to the AI Floor Plan Assistant, then place, number and size booths with snap-to-grid.
  2. 2Set booth types and pricesCreate booth types with their prices and mark booths open, reserved or sold. AI-assisted dynamic pricing can move prices inside the limits you set.
  3. 3Publish and sellPublish the interactive map to your event site. Exhibitors pick a space, check out and get their invoice without a back-and-forth email.
  4. 4Run the showExhibitors manage profiles, staff and assets in their portal, attendees find booths on the live map, and sales reports update as you sell.
New: AI Floor Plan Assistant

Create Your Floor Plan by Asking or by Upload

Two ways to start. Describe the show you want in plain English, or upload the floor plan drawing you already have and the assistant traces it onto a live map. Then keep going in plain English to move, price, check and refine anything, without selecting a single booth.

1 · By asking

Describe It in Plain English

Tell the assistant the hall, walls, doors, halls and booths in one message. It builds the floor plan in phases you approve one at a time.

2 · By upload

Upload the Drawing You Already Have

Import your venue's floor plan and ask the assistant to trace it. It reads the walls, doors, halls and booth numbers and drafts them onto a live map for you to review.

Then keep going in plain English

  • Compare Layouts Before You Commit

    Get two or three versions side by side, measured on booths, sellable space, revenue at list price and walking distance.

    Show me 3 options for filling Hall B.

  • Complex Layouts, Zero Drafting

    Centerpieces, rings around a stage, cross aisles and a mix of booth sizes, laid out clear of everything already on the floor.

    Put a 30x30 in the middle of Hall B, 10x10s all around it, and aisles leading in.

  • Price Premium Inventory in Seconds

    Create booth types with their price and put them on the right booths by name: corners, islands, end-caps or a whole hall.

    Make every corner booth in Hall A Premium at $3,200.

  • Catch Problems Before Exhibitors Do

    Check the map against your own rules for aisle widths and door clearance, then fix every problem in one click.

    Check my map against our 12 ft aisle rule, and fix it.

  • Every change arrives as a proposal you review first
  • Apply it in one step, and undo it in one step
  • Works on blank maps, existing maps and imported drawings

Watch the AI Floor Plan Assistant build a show floor

Describe a hall in plain English and the assistant proposes the build in phases: walls and doors, then halls, then numbered booths. Review each proposal and apply it.

Ask for More Than a Layout

Once the floor is drafted, the same assistant answers questions about it, numbers it, adds walking paths, reworks aisles and learns from last year's sales. Every request still comes back as a proposal you review first.

More You Can Ask For

Ask Questions About Your Map

Count, measure and find things on the floor plan, like how many booths are on the map or which corner booths are still unsold. Questions are answered by reading the map, so nothing changes.

“Which corner booths in Hall A are still unsold?”

And much more:
  • Booth types and prices
  • Exhibitor assignments
  • Sale status and holds
  • Tables and seating
  • Images from your media library
  • Align, rotate and space objects
  • Group and lock objects
  • Your own layout rules

Built So You Stay in Control of the Floor

01

Review

Every Change Is a Proposal You Review

The assistant never edits your map on its own. Each request comes back as a proposal showing what will be added, moved or repriced, with before-and-after numbers for booths, sellable space and revenue at list price. Leave out what you don't want and apply the rest in one step.

02

Sell

The Map It Drafts Is the Map You Sell

The assistant works on your live Map D floor plan, not a picture of one. Publish it to your event site, and exhibitors pick a booth, check out and get their invoice on the same map your attendees use.

03

Price

Booth Types and Prices by Name

Create booth types with their size and price, then put them on the right booths by name: corners, islands, end-caps or a whole hall. Booth types are shared by every map in the show, and dynamic booth pricing can move prices inside the limits you set.

FAQ

AI Floor Plan Assistant Questions

Common questions about building and editing an event floor plan with Map D's AI Floor Plan Assistant.

Have more questions? Contact us →

What does Map D's AI Floor Plan Assistant do?

It is an AI assistant built into the Map D floor plan editor. You describe what you want in plain English, such as the hall size, the booth layout or prices, and it drafts the change on your live map. It can build a floor plan from scratch, trace a drawing you import, edit an existing map by name, compare layout options and check the map for problems.

Can it generate a whole event floor plan from a description?

Yes. Describe the hall, walls, doors, halls and booths in one message, for example a 300 by 200 ft hall with two halls and 10x10 booths numbered from 100. The assistant builds it in phases you approve one at a time.

Can I start from the floor plan drawing I already have?

Yes. Import your venue's floor plan image under the map and ask the assistant to trace it. It drafts the walls, doors, halls and numbered booths onto the map for you to review before anything is applied.

Does the assistant change my floor plan without asking?

No. Every request comes back as a proposal that shows what will be added, moved or repriced, with before-and-after numbers. Nothing changes until you apply it, you can leave out individual changes, and one undo reverses the whole change.

Can it compare layout options before I commit?

Yes. Ask for two or three options and each one is measured by booths, sellable square feet, revenue at list price, how much of the hall is covered and the average walk from a door, so you can pick one.

Does an AI-generated floor plan replace venue approval?

No. Check the venue's requirements and have the responsible parties review the plan before you publish. The assistant can check the map against your own rules for aisle widths and door clearance, but it does not establish compliance.
