    Publish approved content

    Approved information feeds connected listings in your Grandstand app and supported website widgets through the applicable publishing workflow.

Spend less time entering the same information in multiple places.

Application acceptance does not publish a listing. After approving listing changes, your team applies them to connected listings and publishes through Grandstand Admin. Connections depend on your setup.

Booth tools & maps

Connect vendors to their place at your event.

Bring vendor information and booth assignments together. With Grandstand’s booth tools, your team can build a measured layout and connect approved participants to their assigned spaces in Connect. Existing map-location tools connect supported vendor listings to geographic locations in the event app.

  • Keep vendor details and assigned spaces connected.
  • Give attendees a way to move between connected vendor listings and published map locations.
  • Review participant updates before they reach published content.

Spaces requires an eligible plan or separate enablement for your event. Measured booth layouts publish in Connect; they do not currently publish as indoor plans in native apps or website widgets. Ask us which tools fit your setup.
