Creating an event map is often a requirement. Here are a few tips to easily create an event map to scale. Challenges on how to make your event more sustainable from a transportation, food, and solid waste management standpoint are also addressed.
It's one thing to help event producers design more sustainable events by providing a tool that embodies sustainability know-how and helps them transfer this knowledge into the event they design, it is quite another challenge to leverage this capability to communicate it to your audience and influence the event-goers behavior. We provide the Event-goer critical sustainability information at the critical time of decision making. EventMapStudio implements 2 strategies to modify the event-goers' behavior and drive them to more sustainable behavior.
A solid Solid Waste Plan is an important tool towards a sustainable zero-waste event . A good rule of thumb from SWACO, the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio, is to have recycle, waste, and compost bins grouped together and placed every 30-40 yards. This is not easy to achieve manually. You can use the Spatial Analysis tool in EventMapStudio to efficiently layout your recycle bins.
Understanding the public transit landscape around your event is important for your event greening effort. Knowing where the public transit access points are will help you better layout your event in particular entrances and exits to leverage the mass transportation network.
Automatically generate an interactive event map instead of purchasing and setting up an expensive customized event app map. You can update this map in real time to reflect last minutes changes.The resulting public event map can be integrated to the event's web site and access from desktops prior to the event, or from phones while at the event. It can also be included as an external link in most festival app software. The map can include logo/placement for vendors and sponsors, as well as links to vendors' pages including menus. The map an also include a Event Sustainability link to promote and educate the public about sustainable options and the event's sustainability work.
Add fences, utility lines, and paths to your layout. EventMapStudio automatically keeps track of the length of the lines you draw, and includes the total length for each category of items in your report. To shorten a line, click on a blue dot while holding the alt key.
