In short

What is event management software for nonprofits?

Event management software for nonprofits handles booth, table, and sponsorship sales for fundraisers and community events without a dedicated operations team. Map D publishes a live map, takes vendor and sponsor payments online, gives attendees a branded app, and reports impact for grants and board packets.

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.

Raise more without adding staff

01

Interactive Maps & Community-Friendly Wayfinding

Publish a clickable map for booths, stages, food trucks, and sponsor zones so attendees can search, orient themselves, and navigate the venue on web or mobile.

02

Sell Booths, Tables & Sponsorships Online

Let exhibitors and local vendors reserve spaces from the live map, complete checkout anytime, and add services or sponsorship placements without manual coordination.

03

Exhibitor & Vendor Self-Service

Give exhibitors and vendors one place to manage profiles, staff, documents, add-ons, and invoices so your team spends less time on repetitive admin.

04

Branded Mobile App for Attendees & Donors

Launch a branded iOS/Android app with schedules, bookmarks, exhibitor lists, and navigation. Send targeted push alerts for program changes or sponsor moments. Give sponsors premium visibility with in-app banners and highlights to drive measurable value for partners.

05

Analytics for Grants & Board Reports

Dashboards show sales progress, flag at-risk exhibitors, and benchmark engagement so you can export board-ready charts in a few clicks. Exhibitors capture leads in the Map D app and export them for their CRM to demonstrate ROI for sponsors and community partners.

Revenue on one floor plan

Every revenue stream on the floor plan

Booths, sponsorships and add-ons are sold from the same live floor plan your attendees use, so every sale is reflected everywhere at once.

  • Booth sales

    Exhibitors choose a booth on the live map, check out online and receive an invoice. Booths show open, reserved or sold the moment they change.

  • Sponsorships

    Sponsor profiles and sponsor lists on every plan, with sponsorship prices that dynamic pricing can lift as demand grows.

  • Add-ons and upgrades

    Exhibitors add electricity, Wi-Fi and other add-ons to their order, so upgrades are sold with the booth instead of chased afterwards.

  • Dynamic pricing

    Prices move with demand inside the limits you set. Map D is paid only from the extra revenue it creates; what you would have sold at flat prices stays yours.

Customer stories

What our customers say

See how event teams use MapD to run smoother events.

MapD is the best option for our expos. Our clients love the registration process! Data organization and exports are simple and easy. Fast reliable customer support feels like family. The wide variety of tools available for us allow us to grow and still feel well accommodated.

Experience ExpositionsKyle MichaudPresident @ Experience Expositions

MapD is indeed a welcome and needed change for the way we sell booths and handle our awesome exhibitors. With being in our 20th year, we needed a system that would take the guesswork out of exhibitor payments, accounting, floor plan assignments and more! MapD has helped us sell more booths in a shorter time frame and we will most definitely continue to use them!

Taliah WaajidTa'ron JoynerExhibitor Acquisitions Manager @ Taliah Waajid

MapD is one of the most user friendly systems I have found for floor plan software. The customer service received after signing up goes unmatched by any other systems I have used. MapD has truly made my job easier as an Exhibit Manager and helps to promote and sell booth space with the interactive floor plan I can deliver to my vendors.

KinsleyCasey HinerMeeting Architect @ Kinsley

The support of our vendors and partners allows us to put these events together, so again, thank you. I hope you have enjoyed this year's Virtual A-Day! The platform is amazing and so easy to use. :)

DFWAEAlyssa MeekEvents manager @ DFWAE

I am really excited about this. The staff met with me this morning and we all LOVE the platform. People are already filling out their booths.

Maine Insurance Agents AssociationLisa VereggeDirector, International Trade and Development @ Maine Insurance Agents Association

Map D is an amazing platform and easy to use! We worked with Map D for our virtual annual conference last year and it worked like a charm. When we held our annual conference in-person for the first time in two years, our first choice for our conference app was Map D!

Texas Society of CPAsRori ShawExecutive Director @ Texas Society of CPAs

I just came back from show site. This week I had my largest show ever. I had 247 exhibitors and I had 247 happy exhibitors. And a lot of that is a result of they were able to get their badges, update their profile, reach out to me anytime they want to.

Georgia Municipal AssociationYalonde TannerShow Manager @ Georgia Municipal Association

Exporting exhibitors is really helpful for me. Fern needs a list of all our exhibitors with their booth number and what size it's going to be. Just exporting that list and getting it to whoever I'm working with at Fern is so incredibly helpful.

Multi Family NorthwestLaura WebbEvent Coordinator @ Multi Family Northwest

I'm probably your only customer who uses it to sell campsites, but it works really well. I just give them a drawing and they put it all together for me. I don't have to do it - it saves me many hours.

FAQ

Your questions answered

These are some of the most common questions nonprofit teams ask about payments, embeds, ticketing, and launch timelines with Map D.

Have more questions? Request Demo →

Can we price sponsor tables and vendor booths differently?

Yes. Booths, tables and sponsorship placements can each carry their own price and tier, so a silent-auction table and a vendor booth do not have to be sold at the same rate. Pricing is set on the live map and applies at checkout.

Can volunteers run this without a dedicated ops person?

That is the design goal. Vendors and sponsors select and pay for their own space from the map, and manage their own profiles, documents and add-ons, so a rotating committee is not re-keying forms.

What reporting can we give funders and our board?

Revenue, exhibitor and sponsor activity, and attendee engagement export to CSV or a scheduled email, so the numbers in a grant report or board packet come from the same record that ran the event.

Can we take donations alongside booth and table sales?

Sponsorship placements, tables and booths are all sold through the same checkout, and you can process payments through your own gateway. Donation handling stays in your existing fundraising tool rather than being duplicated here.
