Map D

One of the perks of using Map D is that we LOVE spotlighting our clients.

Whether it's in an email, a blog post, or sharing on social, our clients are doing amazing work in the events industry and we believe they deserve recognition.

Have you ever heard someone say, “if it weren't for tomorrow, it'd be the future today!” or “the future is unwritten.” Well, dear readers, when it comes to the use of augmented reality (AR) technology in the events space, that future is now! In 2019, the excitement was building, and event organizers, sponsors, and attendees could all see the future and it was thrilling. Unfortunately, there was a different reality that people didn’t see coming - a global pandemic that led to cancellations of industry events around the world. However, as in-person events have returned, so has the use of AR and related technologies. The results are amazing experiences for attendees, more value for sponsors, smoother operations for event managers, and more revenue for venues.

We've got big news!

It's been a long time coming, but we're pleased to announce that map-dynamics.com is now officially mapdevents.com!

It may not seem significant, but these changes are part of a broader effort at Nextech AR Solutions to simplify and streamline our offerings and improve the user experience of our clients and customers.

With the rising popularity of astrology, it got us thinking:

Is there an event horoscope? What would the event Zodiac look like? And what might your sign reveal about you?

Just as each Zodiac sign has its own unique characteristics and corresponding traits, so does each different type of event.

From intelligent, fast-paced Gemini networking events to trade shows and Capricorns that focus on the bottom line, here's your complete guide to all 12 astrological signs and their corresponding events.

The Empire State Society of Association Executives (ESSAE), is a group of professional association executives employed by trade, business, and professional associations based in New York State. ESSAE provides for the exchange of ideas among its members in many ways, but a big way it connects members is through events.

That's where we come in. 

But first—a bit of backstory...
