Starting November 1, 2025, all new floor plans will use Designer 2.0.
Accounts created before October 1 may still have older maps in Designer 1.0, but any new floor plan will automatically open in Designer 2.0.
Designer 2.0 offers a cleaner interface, better layer control, and improved tools for managing booths and areas.
After the ExpoFP team creates your interactive floor plan, you then get access to the Designer to modify the layout. While our team takes care of complex revisions, organizers should make basic floor plan modifications themselves. With our user-friendly Designer tools, you and your teammates will have full control over your event and can apply any changes at any time.
Working with booths
Adding and editing booths
To add a new booth, click on the arrows on the existing one. The new booth will be named sequentially, perfectly aligned, and have the same color, type, size, and price.
You can also drag a new booth from the Assets panel on the left. A default booth is 10 x 10 ft (3 x 3 m).
Click on the booth to move it or resize it. You'll also see the pop-up window with booth properties, where you can rename it, change its color, assign an exhibitor to it etc.
Editing booths in bulk
If you need to rename multiple booths, you can use the Bulk rename tool. Click the tool, enter the starting booth name/number, and then click on multiple booths one by one to rename them in order.
If you want to edit all booths of a specific color, type or price, click on one booth and then click the Select all such booths button on the right. Any changes will be applied to all selected booths.
How to search for a booth
The search bar allows you to search for one or multiple booths by name, and they will be highlighted.
How to set booth prices and types
You may want to use the floor plan for online booth reservation and/or to collect payments online. By clicking on booths, you can set prices and booth types.
See more details here:
Where to see booth statistics
You can see how many POIs you have on your floor plan, including regular and irregular booths and a drop-down of Available, On Hold and Reserved booths. Click Statistics on the toolbar at the top:
More details can be found in Booths 
- Booth list and in Reports - Booths stats.
Working with stages and other spaces
Other spaces are used for areas such as stages, conference rooms, food courts, bathrooms, and more. You can also assign sessions to these POIs if needed.
In the Designer, you can choose from a predefined list of POI types — including restaurants, lounges, entrances, exits, and other categories.
Just like with booths, you can click the arrows to clone these POIs in different positions, rename them, and change their color, etc.
Locking objects
You can lock objects to avoid accidental changes. Select the object and click Lock selected elements on the toolbar at the top.
To unlock it, click Unlock all elements or double-click the object.
Editing non-clickable elements
Background shapes (or figures) are used to outline halls, pavilions, walls, columns, and similar structures.
Click on an object to resize it, move it, or edit its dimensions in Object Properties.
Similarly, you can drag and resize icons and logos.
You can also add text elements, adjust their font size, and position them anywhere on the map.
Version history
Don't forget to save your progress by hitting the Save button. All versions are saved, and you can return to a previous version anytime by clicking the round arrow next to it. Hover over the version history to see the email of the teammate who saved this version.
You can see who else is currently in the Designer by hovering over a circle next to the Save button.
What if I can't see or select an object in the Designer?
All objects in the Designer are placed on specific layers. Each layer controls a different type of element.
Layers might be hidden or locked to prevent unwanted edits or to simplify your view.
Here is what you can do:
1. Click on the "box" Layers to expand all the layers;
2. Find the layer you need (their names correspond to the levels you see on the front view). Alternatively, click on the eye icon to make them all visible in turn until you find the one you need;
3. If the layer is locked, click on the lock symbol to unlock it;
Done! Now, you can see and edit all the objects within this layer.
Assigning and reassigning exhibitors to booths
Adding exhibitors (individually, via Excel template or via API), deleting them, and assigning and reassigning exhibitors to booths should be done by the organizers themselves.
You can find more details here:
Important things to consider
Teamwork is welcome, but do not work in the Designer at the same time. If two people edit simultaneously, one will overwrite the other’s changes.
Also, do not update exhibitor assignments both in the Designer and through import (Excel or API) at the same time.
The Designer always saves last and will overwrite any other updates.
If your event uses a blue-dot provider (like Crowd Connected® or IndoorAtlas®), do not change the viewbox or area map.
These layers are usually locked under “area map.” Changing them can cause the blue-dot navigation to stop working properly.
