Eventbase + Pointr v9: The Event App Navigation Upgrade You've Been Waiting For

Interactive maps have become one of the most exciting parts of the live event experience and we couldn't be more thrilled about where they're headed. As venues grow larger and attendees expect more personalized, connected journeys, navigation can't be an afterthought. It needs to live right inside your event app, exactly where people need it.

That's why we keep pushing our partnership with Pointr forward. Eventbase is now fully integrated with Pointr v9, giving event organizers faster map creation, smarter wayfinding, deeper app integrations and richer analytics. And with Pointr v10 already on the horizon, even more immersive, personalized navigation is coming your way.

Here's everything you can use today, plus an exclusive first look at what's next.

Available Today with Pointr v9

Faster Map Creation with MapScale®

One of the biggest breakthroughs in Pointr v9 is the latest evolution of MapScale®, Pointr's AI-powered map digitization technology.

MapScale® transforms venue floor plans into interactive digital maps in a fraction of the time. That means less manual work, quicker updates and faster deployments throughout the planning process. Whether you're building maps for a convention center, a hotel or a sprawling multi-venue campus, you can launch interactive maps sooner and respond to venue changes with impressive agility.

The result? More of your time spent where it matters most: creating unforgettable attendee experiences.

Hybrid Static & Dynamic Wayfinding

Pointr v9 introduces hybrid wayfinding, which lets attendees move seamlessly between static and dynamic navigation, depending on the coverage area of the venue's BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) beacons.

Whether visitors are walking between convention halls, nearby hotels, registration areas, outdoor activations or connected campuses, their route never breaks. Instead of juggling separate mapping experiences, attendees get one continuous path from where they are to where they want to be. Simple, smooth and stress-free.

Navigation Embedded Throughout the Eventbase App

Navigation shines brightest when it's available exactly where attendees need it. So rather than sending users to a separate map screen, we've woven Pointr right into the Eventbase experience.

Current integrations include:

• Interactive venue maps for full exploration

• Session pages with embedded mini maps that pinpoint each location

• Schedule pages that show attendees where their next session is happening

• Connected navigation across the entire event app

By surfacing location details throughout the attendee journey, finding the next session, meeting room or point of interest becomes faster and more intuitive than ever.

Event-Specific Branding & Customization

Every event is one of a kind and the map experience should reflect that!

Pointr supports custom icons and branded points of interest, so you can tailor the visual experience to match your event identity. Want to spotlight sponsors, organize exhibitor categories, highlight amenities or showcase premium experiences? You've got the flexibility to build maps that are both functional and beautifully on-brand.

Actionable Analytics

Interactive maps do more than guide people – they reveal how attendees actually move through your event.

When analytics are enabled, you gain valuable insight into:

• Navigation usage across the app

• Search behavior and popular destinations

• Overall engagement with the mapping experience

These insights help your team optimize layouts, spot attendee trends and make every future event even better.

Managing Maps in Real Time with Pointr CMS

Behind every great navigation experience is a flexible way to manage and update it. That's where the Pointr CMS comes in.

With Pointr's centralized platform, your team can manage interactive maps, points of interest and location details – no coding or app rebuilds required. Through an intuitive interface, you can make updates quickly and keep everything accurate across the entire event lifecycle.

The CMS also supports automatic updates, so changes flow seamlessly to attendees. Whether you're adjusting session locations, updating exhibitor information, adding new points of interest or responding to last-minute venue changes, your maps stay current without leaning on development resources.

In short: you stay in control and your attendees always have the most accurate navigation at their fingertips.

Coming Soon with Pointr v10

Innovation never stands still and the next generation of Eventbase and Pointr experiences is already taking shape. Here's a sneak peek at what's coming.

Persona-Based Maps

Pointr v10 will introduce persona-based maps, letting you deliver customized navigation experiences for different audiences at your event.

For example:

• Attendees can see sessions, exhibitors, food and beverage and amenities.

• Exhibitors can prioritize loading docks, exhibitor services and operational areas.

• Staff can access back-of-house areas that aren't visible to the public.

By tailoring map content to each audience, you'll deliver a simpler, more relevant experience for every single app user.

Immersive 3D Outdoor Rendering

Also arriving with Pointr v10: support for stunningly detailed 3D outdoor environments.

Large convention campuses, destination venues and connected districts will be able to display realistic building models and outdoor landmarks – helping attendees orient themselves before they even step inside. Paired with indoor blue-dot navigation, this creates a truly seamless, end-to-end journey across an entire event destination.
