Music Festivals Embrace The Best Trade Shows Practices: Interactive Map by ExpoFP for JetLAG

JetLAG Festival and ExpoFP introduced an interactive map for the largest festival showcasing music from the East European and Soviet diaspora in the USA. JetLAG attracts over 2,500 music enthusiasts over three days, creating an immersive artistic and culturally vibrant experience for audiences of all ages. To enhance the festival experience, organizers partnered with ExpoFP to provide an interactive floor plan with wayfinding.

With 3 areas, five stages, and 100+ performances, workshops, and special events at the festival, it can be challenging for visitors to navigate the mile-long site. ExpoFP has developed an interactive floor plan with GPS positioning, ensuring guests can easily locate themselves and plan routes to desired destinations. The blue dot displaying visitors’ locations will move with them in real-time at the festival, even if they don’t have an internet connection. One of the crucial features is the integrated event schedule that allows attendees to access information about activities happening at different festival locations. ExpoFP plans to implement it for future events as well.

The interactive floor plan will be accessible through the official festival app, available for both Android and iOS devices. The interactive map works offline, which is extremely important for open-air events.

“We are thrilled to announce that this year we’re debuting a JetLAG Festival interactive map. Thanks to it, attendees can enjoy offline access to the site-wide layout, stage information, and workshop schedules.This feature empowers visitors to plan their festival experience in advance, focusing on the performances and activities they are most interested in,” says Psoy Korolenko, Creative Director of JetLAG Festival.

“Interactive maps can benefit not only large trade shows but also music festivals, camping sites, and even garage sales. You can use Floor Plan Designer to add, remove, merge and move booths yourself. It reduces the price and you pay just for what you really need. We like to work with different formats. If you have an event with different locations — booths, vans, shops — you need to ensure that visitors can easily find the places they need. Would you return to a shopping center where you wasted half an hour trying to find your favorite shop? Probably not. The same applies to events,” says Ross Sudentas, CEO and founder of ExpoFP.

This year will be the 14th annual edition of JetLAGFestival and is set to take place from June 23–25, 2023 in New York State.
