Event Wayfinding
Your event needs a map. Not an app.
TapTheMap deploys NFC wayfinding for temporary events — festivals, car shows, fairs, conferences. Guests tap a sticker, your event map opens on their phone. No app, no download. You can update the map mid-event if needed. Tap analytics are tracked automatically.
How it works
01
Tell us about your event
Date, venue, size, and any special layout needs. We'll recommend the right number of NFC stickers and placement strategy.
02
Send us your map
A PDF, PNG, or even a sketch. We optimize it for phone screens — high contrast, readable labels, proper zoom levels.
03
We ship the stickers
Pre-programmed NTAG 213 stickers arrive ready to mount. Peel, stick, done. Each one links directly to your event map.
04
Guests tap and go
Guests tap a sticker — your event map opens on their phone. No app, no download. You can update the map mid-event if needed. Tap analytics are tracked automatically.

How it compares
Most events handle wayfinding with printed maps, PDF downloads, or "just look for the signs." Here's why NFC is better for temporary deployments:
- No printing. A 500-person event printing 500 maps at $0.30 each spends $150 on paper that ends up on the ground. TapTheMap stickers are reusable.
- Update mid-event. Rain moved the outdoor stage? Upload a new map from your phone. Every sticker instantly serves the update. Try that with 500 printed copies.
- Works without WiFi. The NFC tap itself requires no internet. The map loads over cellular — and at under 500KB, it loads fast even on 3G.
- Setup in minutes. Peel, stick, done. No IT infrastructure, no app store submission, no QR-code-generator workflow.
- Zero guest friction. No app to download, no QR code to scan, no WiFi to connect to. Tap and go.
