Interactive Expo Floorplan Registration
Replaced static booth preference forms with an interactive, data-driven floorplan so exhibitors could choose available booths directly on a live map.
- Flash
- ActionScript
- FileMaker Pro
- XML
Context
Exhibitors selected first, second, and third booth choices using static printouts and text fields.
Because availability was not visible at selection time, conflict rates were high.
Operations teams spent significant time resolving collisions after submissions closed.
Approach
- Built an interactive map where each booth shape was bound to live availability data.
- Loaded and refreshed booth state from backend XML feeds, including occupant context for claimed booths.
- Captured ranked selections through direct map interaction and submitted results to existing allocation workflows.
Outcomes
- Lowered first-choice conflict rates and improved selection quality.
- Reduced manual conflict resolution and follow-up workload for staff.
- Improved exhibitor confidence by showing real-time availability in context.
