Designed for Complex, Multi-Day, Multi-Location Programmes
Event operators don’t run simple schedules. They manage layered programmes across multiple days, venues and stages.
Mapzest delivers:
✅ Multi-day, multi-location schedules (lineups)
✅ Interactive maps with intelligent navigation
✅ Rich Point of Interest (POI) profiles for stages, exhibitors, activations, hospitality, transport and amenities
Visitors can explore who’s on, where to go, and what’s happening next — all within one structured, intuitive interface.
This isn’t a static event guide.
It’s a fully navigable digital environment.
A Scalable Investment for Portfolio Operators
For organisations managing multiple events annually, Mapzest is not a one-off tool — it’s infrastructure.
The same solution can be rapidly deployed across:
Touring festival brands
Exhibition portfolios
City-wide seasonal programmes
Community event calendars
Once configured, it can be flipped, refreshed and relaunched for each new event with efficiency and consistency.
One platform. Multiple events. Repeatable value.
Flexible Content Management at Any Scale
Operational teams vary. Some have in-house digital resource. Others rely on contributors, partners or volunteers.
Mapzest supports:
✅ Bulk content import
✅ Community-contributed content
✅ Hybrid management models
✅ Oversight by a dedicated Mapzest Agent
This ensures content remains structured, accurate and event-ready — without placing unnecessary strain on internal teams.
Whether you manage 3 flagship festivals or 200 distributed community events, the workflow adapts to your operating model.
Two Deployment Models: Branded or Network
Branded App
A fully standalone app with:
✅ Unique name

Mapzest Network
A cost-effective, rapid deployment model where your event is hosted within the Mapzest Network app.

✅ Faster time-to-market
✅ Accessible to events of any size
This model makes professional-grade event apps viable for regional programmes, independent organisers and community-managed portfolios.

Extending accessibility to visitors without smartphones and creating high-visibility digital wayfinding across event sites.

Mapzest stores it’s data locally so once a map has been accessed, if you access it again with no signal, it still works. This helps tremendously with internet outages but the users still need to download the app in the first place. You may need to install temporary wifi. We can help with that too if necessary
