LAS VEGAS - January 8, 2025
This year CES in Las Vegas is providing event attendees with the largest indoor location and bluedot wayfinding experience ever provided for an event using the world's most advanced mapping solution, Pointr.
Integrated natively into the official CES mobile app, powered by Eventbase, Pointr is giving attendees accurate, real-time navigation across a massive 7 million square feet of exhibition space featuring over 4,500 exhibitors. Offering 1-3m accuracy, Pointr provides smart indoor-outdoor transitions and unmatched multi-floor detection to ensure attendees always know where they are and where they are going.
Whether an attendee is searching for a specific booth, trying to locate a breakout session, or finding the nearest amenities, Pointr Maps in an Eventbase-powered mobile app guides them effortlessly, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.
“Eventbase is proud to be partnering with Pointr to launch a new standard for maps at conferences, trade shows and events,” says Jeff Sinclair, CEO of Eventbase. “These maps are far more accurate than competitors are able to achieve and the software Pointr uses to deploy and manage the infrastructure is lightyears ahead of anything else we’ve seen.”
Unlike competitors, who require that you deploy their proprietary Bluetooth beacons at your event and pay for beacons not returned, Pointr can use Bluetooth signals from devices that are already setup at the venue. This could be wifi access points or smart lighting, or an existing installation of Bluetooth beacons.
Pointr also saves event organizers time. It uses the world’s first AI mapping engine to quickly digitize maps. What used to take days can now be cut down to minutes. With Pointr’s real-time content editor (CMS), clients can make changes to their maps in seconds. Pointr also offers valuable insights into attendee behavior and preferences. This helps event organizers optimize layout and traffic flow based on real-time data. Most importantly, Pointr’s enterprise-grade mapping technology is supported by an experienced team committed to exceptional customer service.
“With AI maps and next-generation navigation, CES 2025 sets a new benchmark for digital event experiences.”, says Pointr CEO Ege Akpinar. “This is a great event to launch our partnership with Eventbase, and we look forward to working together to bring Pointr Maps to many more of the largest events in the world.”
At CES 2025, Pointr is providing maps for 14 venues with a bluedot experience at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and the Venetian.
