DISCOVERPublish your trade show app
Trade show app: exhibitors, the booth map and the conference program in your show's own app
Visitors look up an exhibitor, find it on the map and keep the talks they care about; exhibitors find their setup instructions in an area reserved for them.
Your trade show or fair gets a mobile app of its own, built with no developer: the list of exhibitors, their booths placed on the map, the conference program, notifications during the show and an exhibitors' area opened by group.
Free 30-day trial - No credit card required
Every exhibitor, and where to find the booth
The exhibitor list and the booth map, linked in the app
Each exhibitor has its own listing: business, products, booth number, website and contacts. Also place each booth as a point in the Map section, where it stands in the hall, or publish the hall plan as an image if booths are too close together for the map. Visitors type a name into search, open the listing, favorite the exhibitor and find it again the next day.
An industry trade show
Hundreds of exhibitors, several halls, a series of talks: buyers plan their visit in the app before they arrive.
A consumer fair
Home, food, leisure: visitors follow the day's demos and find the right booth without walking the aisles three times.
A congress with an exhibition area
When the heart of the event is a conference program for an association's members, the congress page is a better fit.
The conference appThe conference program, room by room
Panels, product launches, awards: every session in the Agenda
Each session takes its place in the Agenda: title, speakers, room, time. Visitors add a talk to their personal calendar in one tap and keep it in their favorites. Every morning, a push scheduled the night before presents the day's highlights; another, sent on the spot, flags a session that changes rooms.
An area reserved for exhibitors
Build-up, deliveries, badges, breakdown: instructions visitors don't need to see
Each exhibitor creates an account in the app, and your team places it in the Exhibitors group from the back office. A section then opens for that group only: build-up and breakdown times, delivery access, safety rules, the organizers' contacts. A push sent to the group, “Loading dock B closed until 10 am”, disturbs no visitor.
Your app, a PDF catalog, or an event platform?
Three ways to present a show's exhibitors, compared point by point.
| Your app with GoodBarber | PDF catalog | Event platform | |
|---|---|---|---|
| An app under the show's name, in both stores | native iOS and Android | no, a file to download | depends on the platform |
| Searching for an exhibitor by name | search and favorites | search inside the file | depends on the platform |
| Fixing a booth after printing | at any time | no, it must be reissued | yes |
| Alerting visitors during the show | push notifications | no | depends on the platform |
| What you pay | a fixed subscription | layout and printing | depends on the platform |
On site, the app guides visitors
A beacon at the entrance to each hall, a QR code on each booth
Under a hall roof, GPS loses track: an iBeacon placed at the entrance triggers that hall's message, “Hall 3: packaging and logistics, talks in the Rhône room”. On each booth, a printed QR code opens the exhibitor's listing through the app's QR code reader; visitors favorite it so they can get back in touch after the show.
Also in the show's app
A link to registration
Badges and tickets are bought on your registration site; the app simply leads there.
Practical info
Opening hours, access, parking, shuttles, cloakroom: articles that are easy to keep current.
The halls on the map
Entrances, parking lots and shuttle stops, directions included.
Exhibitor applications
For next year, companies apply through a form; applications pile up in the back office, ready for a CSV export.
Several languages
For foreign visitors, each listing can be machine-translated.
AI for your trade show
Two uses, and what they cost.
To guide
A guide that knows every exhibitor
“Who is showing packaging machines? Where is the awards ceremony?” The Chatbot's answers come from the exhibitor listings, sessions and map; it speaks the visitor's language.
$35/month
To update
The exhibitor list kept by your AI assistant
Through the MCP server, Claude or ChatGPT keeps the list current: it adds a last-minute exhibitor or corrects a booth number when you ask, spells out the operation and waits for your confirmation.

Extension Store
For a trade show: Map, articles, Agenda, favorites, notifications, and the Authentication plus User groups pair that locks the exhibitors' area; add an optional Chatbot and the MCP connection, free.
The cost of a trade show app
The base is Premium: the show's native apps and its web version. The exhibitors' area also needs Authentication and User groups: take them as options, or move to Pro, where they are built in with no limit on team logins. The Chatbot is billed separately.
| Premium · native app and web version | $55 /month, billed yearly |
| Authentication, on Premium | $12 /month |
| User groups, on Premium | $5 /month |
| Pro · Authentication and User groups included | $105 /month, billed yearly |
Badges and paid tickets stay on your registration site. The App Store and Google Play developer accounts are paid separately, to each store.
Trade show app: organizers' questions
Can visitors buy their badge in the app?
No, badges are bought on your registration site, opened by a button in the app; the app then looks after visitors before and during the show.
Can the booth map be as precise as an architect's floor plan?
Booths are positioned on a real geographic map: that suits an exhibition park or well-spaced booths. For a hall with tight aisles, also publish the official floor plan as an image, and keep the halls, entrances and parking lots on the map.
Can each exhibitor edit its own listing?
Not directly: team login rights cover the whole app, not a single listing. Exhibitors send their corrections through a form, or your AI assistant enters them through MCP.
Can we send a notification only to visitors in one hall?
Yes, with an iBeacon at the hall entrance: its message shows on phones passing nearby with Bluetooth on. Other sends go to everyone, to a group or to a perimeter drawn around the exhibition park.
What does a trade show app come to?
The Premium plan, plus two options for the exhibitors' area, Authentication and User groups; on Pro, they are already there. Count the Chatbot as extra if you turn it on; the MCP connection is free.
Can the app be reused for next year's show?
Yes. You update the listings, sessions and map, and the app, still on last year's visitors' phones, announces the new edition with a push.
