How Can I Link An Agenda Session Location To The Maps In My Maps Section?

Location field will be available when creating sessions for your event. The information that you input into this field will appear as a clickable link in the Event Space that will act in directing attendees to the Maps section of your Event Space where they can select the map that they would like to review. 

Note: Google Maps cannot be linked directly to sessions, and will only be available from the Maps section of the Event Space.

Session Location

Interactive Mapping

If you are looking to guide your attendees to the appropriate image map within the Maps section, you can use the Interactive Mapping option available. This feature allows attendees to click on the location within a session (or Company profile) to be directed to the applicable image map, and a corresponding pin drop demonstrating where the session or company is located. 

How to Set Up Interactive Mapping

  • Visit the Maps library and select Add Map
  • Input the Map Name and upload your image file (must be in JPEG, JPG or PNG)

Adding Interactive Mapping using the Excel Template

  • Select the Import/Export option in the relevant library
  • Choose the Export option to download an Excel Template with all of your sessions or profiles
  • In the Map column, input the name  of the relevant map
  • In the Location column, input the name of the relevant location
