Floor plan
The floor plan editor lets you trace booth outlines directly on a venue image and assign each booth to a sponsor. Sponsors then see their booth highlighted in the public attendee map; you see assignment progress on the Command Center.
Upload a layout
- Open the event, click Floor plan in the left nav.
- Click Upload layout and pick a PDF or image file (PDF is preferred for crisp text; PNG / JPG work for hand drawings or photos).
- Novex converts the first PDF page to PNG and shows it as the editor background. Maximum file size is 25 MB.
Mark booths
- Click + Add booth — your cursor switches to draw mode.
- Click-and-drag to outline the booth perimeter. You can use 4-point boxes for simple rectangular stands or click multiple points for arbitrary polygons.
- Give the booth a code (e.g.
B-12) and pick a tier (LARGE/MEDIUM/SMALL/KIOSK). - Save.
Booths render in the editor in a color-coded style: green = assigned, blue = open, yellow = on hold, gray = blocked / non-saleable.
Assign a sponsor
- Click an open booth (blue) — the side panel shows the Assign sponsor action.
- Pick from the event’s existing sponsor roster, or click Attach new sponsor to create one inline.
- Optionally set a per-booth price (e.g. premium location uplift).
- Save — the booth turns green and the sponsor row updates with the booth code.
Viewer modes
The same canvas is exposed in three places:
- Editor (
/t/<slug>/events/<id>/floor-plan) — what we just walked through. Operations team only. - Sponsor preview — the sponsor sees their booth highlighted with their tier badge.
- Public attendee map — published at
/e/<event-code>/floor-planonce the event isCONFIRMED. Visible booths only (private/blocked ones suppressed).
Command Center drawer
On show day, the Command Center exposes the floor plan editor drawer: open the layout, swap a booth assignment if a sponsor pulls out, and the change is live the moment you save. No round-trip back to the editor page.
Tips
- Set booth tier consistently with your sponsor tier matrix — Novex uses tier to compute the ”% sold-by-tier” pie on the dashboard.
- Lock the floor plan once everything’s assigned (the ⋯ menu) so a typo’d click during show day doesn’t drop an assignment.
- Export PNG — for printing on signage / handouts, click ⋯ → Export PNG. The export bakes in current booth assignments and labels.
