Which map should I choose for my online event?

Start from the event templates rather than an office one, and then check four things against your programme. That is usually the difference between a map that works on the day and one that jams at the entrance.

• Size. The map has to hold everyone at once with room to walk. The first thing a crowded map costs you is legibility: people cannot find each other. Err on the large side. If you are unsure, pick a map with a central place and gardens around it: when the middle gets crowded, people drift out of the main building to the quieter space on their own.
• A silent zone at the entrance. Attendees arrive at the same moment, and without one they land in a conversation with four strangers. See how to create a great experience for your attendees.
• Enough meeting rooms, sized to their sessions, plus at least one small open area per topic for the conversations that follow a talk.
• A help desk near the entrance, carrying the agenda and a short “first steps” document. It answers most of the questions you would otherwise answer live.

If nothing fits, you can create your own template using the Tiled map editor, or have our designers build one for the event. Allow a few days to a few weeks, so contact us early, or come and talk it through in our virtual offices.
