With the booming "bleisure" trend—extending business trips to include leisure trave—arriving early or staying a few days longer to explore the destination is increasingly popular. But where to go?Enter HipMaps, providing a unique solution to take attendees' entire experience up a notch.HipMaps designs custom maps where the event hosts share their event activities—as well as recommendations for restaurants and local highlights—all on a map branded in the event's color and style. Attendees use HipMaps' innovative and interactive app, which allows them to see their real-time location on the host's HipMap so they can better plan their time, read the host's curated comments about each place for the inside scoop, link to each location's website, and get directions directly from the app.Event planners know their attendees best, so they choose what to include and highlight: restaurants, from fine dining to the locals' favorite taco truck; brewery crawls; local shops; public art; parks; wellness options; off-the-beaten-path hidden gems—and of course, the event activities so everyone gets to the right place at the right time.The host's curated comments about each location further enhance the attendees' connection to both the event and the destination. From experiences ("Don't miss this unique building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright") to restaurants ("The best locally raised steaks") to events ("Cocktails and networking on Tuesday from 5 to 6:30 in the Orchid Room, sponsored by The Wooster Company), a curated HipMap will eliminate attendees' frustration of wondering where to go and what to do in their free time, and cut through the overwhelming number of choices provided by a Yelp or Google search."HipMaps' goal is to make your time spent in a destination more enjoyable," says Rachel LeRoy, founder and CEO of HipMaps. "The app is free and easy to navigate; the host's map lays right on top of Google Maps so you see your same location little blue dot that you are familiar with. And with the host's comments on each place, it's like having a local alongside you, giving you the inside scoop and saving you time. No more endless scrolling through review sites trying to figure out where to go."HipMaps is the winner of the 10th Annual BizBash Event Experience Award for Best New Event Product/Service, and founder Rachel LeRoy was named a 2023 BizBash Top 10 Industry Innovator. HipMaps specializes in branded custom maps for meetings and events, festivals, weddings, and special occasions, as well as for destination management organizations, hotels, vacation rentals, destination management companies, incentive travel, and more.For a short app demo and details on how it all works, visit HipMaps.com.Latest in Industry InsidersIndustry InsidersCreating Unforgettable Moments: A Look Into CORT EventsIndustry InsidersWhat's New at MGM Resorts in Las VegasIndustry InsidersVOLO Experiential Marketing Agency Produces Massive-Scale Product Launch for Global Gaming BrandIndustry InsidersEmbassy Suites by Hilton: Your One-Stop Solution for Seamless Event Planning and ExecutionRelated StoriesIndustry InsidersWhat's New at MGM Resorts in Las VegasIndustry InsidersVOLO Experiential Marketing Agency Produces Massive-Scale Product Launch for Global Gaming BrandIndustry InsidersEmbassy Suites by Hilton: Your One-Stop Solution for Seamless Event Planning and ExecutionIndustry InsidersTop 5 Reasons to Host a Conference at Circa Resort &amp; CasinoMore in Industry InsidersSponsoredCreating Unforgettable Moments: A Look Into CORT EventsGo behind the scenes and learn how CORT Events developed and executed our 2023 ‘"Blank Slate" video, intended to transform, engage, and inspire how trade show and event professionals think about furnishing and event design.SponsoredWhat's New at MGM Resorts in Las VegasIn a city where standing still equates to falling behind, MGM Resorts exemplifies the proactive approach needed to remain on top.SponsoredVOLO Experiential Marketing Agency Produces Massive-Scale Product Launch for Global Gaming BrandThe Galaverse blends tech, gaming, and creativity at a series of epic global events.SponsoredEmbassy Suites by Hilton: Your One-Stop Solution for Seamless Event Planning and ExecutionEmbassy Suites offers meeting spaces and dedicated event teams in 260 locations.SponsoredTop 5 Reasons to Host a Conference at Circa Resort &amp; CasinoHosting your conference at Circa Resort &amp; Casino offers a unique blend of state-of-the-art facilities, top-of-the-line event services, and a prime location in one of the world's most exciting cities.SponsoredFore Your Next Corporate Gift—It's in the Bag!Custom Sevens offers a bespoke golf bag experience.Most PopularExperiential Marketing, Activations &amp; Sponsorships30 Cool Event Ideas You May Have Missed From Birkenstock, FOX, Hello Sunshine, and MoreEvent Production &amp; FabricationHow City Harvest’s 2023 Drive-In-Themed Tasting Event Brought Movie Magic to LifeIndustry InsidersWhat's New at MGM Resorts in Las VegasHybrid &amp; Virtual Event ProductionHow Marriott Bonvoy's Clever New Fortnite Experience Is Engaging Gen ZBizBash SportsQ&amp;A: Boston Celtics' VP of Corporate Events on Her 22-Year History with the TeamTrade ShowsThis Trade Show Was Successful Thanks to an Elevated, Modern DesignSponsoredGame on the Go: How to Create Engaging Fan ExperiencesWhy pop-up branded structures are the smarter solution for your fan events.SponsoredEvent Tickets: Create an Interactive Experience with 10 Fun IdeasGet attendees excited to participate with these easy engagement strategies.SponsoredThe Corporate Holiday Party Comeback: 10 Experiences to Light Up the SeasonSponsoredDisplay Group's Hollywood Extravaganza: A Night to RememberFor UWM's annual holiday party, Display Group transformed Huntington Place into a star-studded spectacle reminiscent of Tinseltown's most iconic moments.Sponsored5 Easy Tips to Increase Exhibitors for Your Next Trade ShowPromoting exhibitor opportunities to ensure trade show success.SponsoredSomewhere Nowhere: The Perfect Unique Venue for Your EventsWhy choose Somewhere Nowhere for your occasions?Page 1 of 55Next Page
