IAVM VenueConnect 2026

VenueConnect brings together the professionals shaping the future of convention centers, stadiums, arenas, performing arts centers, and other public venues. As guest expectations continue to evolve, indoor mapping and navigation have become essential tools for creating seamless, connected visitor experiences.

Visit Pointr at Booth #132 to see how our AI-powered indoor mapping platform helps venues deliver intuitive navigation, improve operational efficiency, and support every event that comes through their doors.

What Pointr Offers

We'll be showcasing the latest innovations across our platform, including:

  • Hybrid Wayfinding for seamless indoor and outdoor navigation across multi-building campuses.

  • Map View Personas, delivering customized maps and navigation experiences based on visitor type, such as attendees, exhibitors, and staff.

  • Interactive indoor maps with Blue Dot navigation.

  • MapScale®, enabling rapid AI-powered map creation from existing floor plans.

  • Pointr CMS, allowing venue teams to make real-time map updates, publish changes instantly, and manage content without coding or app rebuilds.

  • Seamless Integration with flexible deployment through event apps, workplace apps, or web-based experiences via QR code.

The Rise of The Connected Venue

Convention centers are increasingly investing in permanent digital infrastructure that extends well beyond a single event. Rather than recreating maps and navigation for every conference or trade show, venues can establish permanent Blue Dot navigation infrastructure and interactive venue base maps that serve as the foundation for every event they host.

With Pointr’s Connected Venue™ Program, convention centers can offer event organizers customized event maps layered on top of the venue's permanent digital maps. Organizers can add exhibitor booths, meeting rooms, registration areas, sponsored locations, points of interest, and event branding without recreating the underlying venue map or navigation experience. The result is a consistent Blue Dot experience for attendees, while giving every event its own tailored map and content.

Pointr is working with leading venues such as Moscone Center and ExCeL London to help build these connected experiences, creating a digital foundation that benefits venue operators year-round while giving event organizers the flexibility to deliver customized maps for every show.

Built for Stadiums, Arenas & Public Venues

Every venue has unique navigation challenges. Stadiums and arenas welcome thousands of fans on game day, performing arts centers guide patrons to seats and amenities, fairgrounds host multiple events across expansive campuses, and convention and exhibition venues regularly transform their layouts to accommodate different shows.

Pointr is designed to adapt to every type of venue, helping visitors easily find entrances, seating sections, meeting rooms, concessions, exhibitors, parking, restrooms, and other key destinations. As venues continue to diversify the events they host, flexible digital mapping becomes increasingly important.

For venues with both indoor and outdoor spaces, Pointr provides seamless indoor-outdoor navigation, allowing visitors to move confidently between parking areas, entrances, plazas, concourses, and interior destinations without interruption.

We're also showcasing new capabilities like Hybrid Wayfinding, which combines static routes with real-time dynamic guidance to create more intelligent navigation experiences, and Personas, which tailor maps, routes, and points of interest for attendees, exhibitors, performers, staff, VIPs, media, vendors, and other visitor groups. Together, these innovations help venues deliver more personalized experiences while simplifying operations across every event.

Built for Higher Education

College and university campuses are constantly evolving environments, welcoming prospective students, current students, faculty, staff, alumni, and visitors every day. From orientation and commencement to athletic events, conferences, and campus tours, institutions need a navigation solution that supports both everyday campus life and large-scale events.

Pointr provides interactive campus maps and Blue Dot navigation across academic buildings, residence halls, athletic facilities, performing arts centers, parking areas, and student services. For campuses that host conferences, competitions, and community events, organizers can create event-specific maps and points of interest while leveraging the university's existing digital map infrastructure.
