Events

Map your next event for $99.

Festivals, fairs, car shows, markets, and weekend events — visitors tap an NFC sticker and see your grounds map instantly on their phone. No app, no Wi-Fi, no paper maps. Flat-fee pricing, full admin access, and tags included.


How It Works

Three steps, one weekend.

01
Book & Set Up

Tell us your event name and dates. We assign you a dedicated event page and admin login. Upload your grounds map anytime before the event.

02
Place the Stickers

Stick the NFC tags at entrance gates, vendor rows, food courts, parking, restrooms — anywhere visitors need directions. Each tag opens your map in one tap.

03
Go Live

Visitors tap a sticker, your map opens on their phone. Need to update the map mid-event? Log in and swap it in seconds. You have full control the entire time.

About the tags

All event plans include weatherproof NTAG 213 NFC stickers that work on any smartphone made since 2016. Tags are disposable — place them on tent poles, sandwich boards, fences, or signs, then collect and reuse them at future events or simply discard. Need more than your plan includes? Additional tags are $2 each (Pop-Up and Community) or $1.50 each (Festival).

⚠ Do not place NFC tags on metal surfaces

Metal disrupts NFC signal reception and will prevent tags from working. Avoid metal poles, gates, fences, and sign frames. Instead, place tags on wood, plastic, glass, drywall, cardboard, or any non-metal surface. For metal structures, mount the tag on a plastic or cardboard backer attached to the metal — even a half-inch gap is enough.

Tag delivery

Events in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin receive free hand delivery. Events beyond the local service area receive tags via USPS Priority Mail, included in the event fee. Tags arrive pre-programmed and ready to place — no technical setup required.


Use Cases

Built for the events you actually run.

Pop-Up
Saturday Car Show

A local car club runs a one-day show at the VFW grounds. Five tags at the entrance, parking, registration, food area, restrooms, and display rows. Visitors tap and see the full layout on their phone.

$99
Community
County Fair

A five-day county fair deploys 10 tags across the midway, livestock barns, grandstand, food court, parking, and children’s area. The fair board updates the map each morning as vendor locations shift.

$249
Festival
Music Festival

A three-day outdoor festival uses 20 tags at stage areas, campgrounds, vendor villages, first aid stations, and shuttle stops. The map is updated in real-time as weather forces schedule changes.

$599
Pop-Up
Farmers Market Series

A weekly Saturday market books a Pop-Up each month during the summer. Tags go on permanent posts at the market pavilion and get reused week to week. Four events at $99 each, or ask about seasonal rates.
