About ExpoGuide

Expoguide is an application developed for the purpose of listing and finding exhibitors on the fair. This application makes it easy for the visitor's to find exactly what they were looking for by enabling visual navigation to each exhibitor’s display area. It also shows distance from the visitors current location to the exhibitor, includes a database which contains data about the requested exhibitor and contains many other possibilities and options such as:

  • Zoom options
  • Search options
  • Administration interface (password protected) etc.

For example, let's say you are a visitor on an IT fair. You can access ExpoGuide through touch screens or internet cafes on the fair. Once you do, you can easily find the nearest hardware manufacturer, list all software stands etc. Also, you can search for a specific company or product, locate their stand, see how far away is it from the visitors location, read the information about the exhibitor or visit the exhibitor’s website. The interface is fun and easy to use, with attractive animations and modern design.

Why ExpoGuide?

ExpoGuide is an actual small proportion GIS (geographic information system) which we developed as a part of our Expo software package. Expo was developed for our own needs, when we co-organized the "Festo 2005 - new technologies in marketing" fair. After receiving many positive reactions from other organizers, sponsors and most importantly the visitors, we decided to offer the same software package to other fair organizers.

ExpoGuide comes with two additional applications, which are free for all who purchase ExpoGuide:

  • ExpoNews - an interactive news / events display application (for info posts, touch screens, internet stands etc.), fully animated, administrator interface for adding news, inactivity detection (screen saver), updates news from a database automatically, etc.
  • ExpoScreen - a non interactive application, developed to display info on plasma screens in an attractive way. News and sponsors rotation every 10 sec, updates automatically when the data changes, great for news flashes, last minute changes etc.
