Partnership Brings Indoor Navigation to Premier Convention Center
The Moscone Center in San Francisco has joined Pointr's Connected Venue program, bringing Blue Dot indoor navigation technology to one of the nation's largest convention centers. The partnership enables real-time wayfinding and digital mapping capabilities for attendees at events hosted at the facility.
As the venue for major conferences including Dreamforce, Microsoft Ignite, and RSAC, The Moscone Center serves hundreds of thousands of attendees annually. The facility offers more than 1.1 million square feet of space in San Francisco's city center.
Blue Dot Technology Features
The Blue Dot navigation system allows attendees to see their exact location on interactive maps of exhibit halls, meeting rooms, and public spaces. Users can navigate complex event layouts with turn-by-turn guidance spanning the entire venue campus and surrounding city blocks, while quickly locating sessions, exhibitor booths, dining options, and amenities.
The technology can be activated for individual events, giving organizers and attendees a customized navigation experience for each conference or exhibition hosted at the venue.

"Organizers now have the opportunity to activate precise, real-time navigation and deliver a more seamless, intuitive journey for their attendees."
