Why should event planners use EventDraw?
Event planners can often spend hours researching whether or not a venue will be suitable for their needs.
By providing event visualisation, you can deliver on the event experience, plan events faster, easier and more accurately.
It’s now more important than ever to deliver an exceptional personalised experience to your potential customer — no matter if it’s a simple board meeting or an elaborate wedding.
How Does it work?
EventDraw drag and drop software. Our team setup the templates(venue function spaces or outdoor site plans) and customise your smart shapes (furniture and equipment).
This allows event planners to ‘drag and drop’ the shapes onto the plan to create accurate, to-scale floor plan layouts.
Clients value this service and labour is reduced because your setup staff can easily understand the plans. Shuffling furniture will be a thing of the past.
Our clients are creating exceptional event floor plan diagrams with just 15 mins training.
How does EventDraw benefit EAs, PAs & Event Co-Ordinators?
We have 28,000 existing floor plan templates on file for venues around Australia, Asia and globally.
EAs and PAs can simply open EventDraw and choose from the existing venue catalogue and create event plans knowing what they create on screen is exactly what will fit in the venue.
The system includes a brilliant feature; with the click of a button, it can automatically calculate the best use of space using algorithms that are built into the software. It means maximum capacity plans can be created in less than three seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I limited on the number of plans I can create each month or year.
Absolutely not!
You are not limited on the number of plans you create each month or year. Most venues and organisations create hundreds if not thousands of plans per year. Think about it, image being restricted on such a fundmental requirement.
Do I need Microsoft Visio
Absolutely no need for Microsoft Visio anymore!
Our new cloud-based floor plan software application EventDraw revolutionises the cost and efficiency of our existing Visio development, used by thousands of clients in Australia and around the world. EventDraw does not require a single licence of Microsoft Visio.
A GAME CHANGER!
For those that like reading and want to know the development of EventDraw:
Six and a half years in the making — our VisioGroup’s development team (www.visiogroup.com.au) designed software which takes the best of the Microsoft Visio based product the company has been refining since 1998 and puts it in the cloud, making it instantly accessible, more efficient, faster and more importantly, no need for Microsoft licencing cost. Any venue looking to adopt EventDraw receive unlimited users.
And that’s just the beginning, the software boasts a tremendous amount of features not available with Microsoft Visio. For our existing clients who used Visio files, well this works brilliantly with EventDraw, so existing floor plans are not redundant.
Contact the team for more info!
Are there limitations on the number of users?
EventDraw software is unlimited users. Why limit access to “easy to use software” because of restrictions and clauses. It makes no sense to us, this is why EventDraw, you have unlimited users within your company.
Active Events - How Many?
It’s a common question with our software. How many active events is allowed per month. This is up to you, why would we limit you on the number of events you create. We receive this questions because other providers have a tremendous amount of restrictions and limitations!
Our clients love the freedom with EventDraw!
Speed?
With EventDraw you are not connected to a database! Why is this important.
You can create a floor plan without being connected to the internet. With other providers every move of the mouse on your floor plan needs to be saved back to their servers. This drastically makes the system slow, cumbersome and annoying.
It’s why most providers supply very basic floor plans of your venue. Ask us for sample plans v’s competitor sample plans. Take this further, why not zoom into the PDF or plan and see the difference in quality of the plan, the difference is like night and day.
Cloud or Local?
With EventDraw your floor plan and diagram data is stored in your browser while you are creating the floor plan, and at a location of your choice when you finish and save the plan. If you choose EventDraw, your diagram data is transmitted with end-to-end encryption.
Am I restricted on the amount of PDF's I create or send?
We have this question asked often. If you would like to send many revisions of your event plans to clients then this is your choice. Nothing speaks professionalism than good communication with your client and how their event will look and feel. Not too mention, the setup crew can rely on accurate and up to date event plans for the function.
Seat Attendees - How Many?
Seat attendees is unlimited. There is no capping nor restrictions on the number of attendees for your floor plan and event. Seat attendees for your event would vary, so why would we limit this in your software…… The answer is we don’t!
Verified Floor Plans?
Our team will create an accurate, custom floor plan based on your CAD files of your venue, with confirmation sign-off from your team.
The fact is, Event floor plan software is useless without accurate plans of your venue. This is why since 1998, we supply the most accurate floor plan software on the planet!
Ease of Use?
Put EventDraw through a exhaustive test. EventDraw started out in 1998 from an event management company. Our software was created from passionate individuals working in the Hospitality and Events industry. Rather than have programmers design a software solution they think is required, EventDraw was built from knowledge within the industry and what Event Coordinator and Venue Managers need. The entire system was designed with a goal! Ease of Use
A fantastic event floor plan should be created, finished and emailed to a client within 90-120 seconds. This is why EvenDraw is so easy to use, because it’s built with the event team as our sole focus.

Restrictions
Each month we have a tremendous amount of feedback from prospects, many migrating from other floor plan software providers.
For example, some Event Floor Plan Software providers restrict the number of plans you can create each month. Why?
Other restrictions we’ve learnt:
1. A limit on the amount of PDF’s you create each month.
2. Some limit the number of guests you can allocate at 150-250.
3. Floor plans cannot be saved to your PC.
4. Some limit the number of users.
5. Many providers charge in excess of $199.00 USD PER MONTH but only 100 events per year.
We find this absurd!
Ease of Use
We guarantee EventDraw is the easiest to use floor plan software on the market.
Put this statement to the test, contact our team and ask for a link to use the software. Simply drag and drop the tables and chairs, dance floors, stages etc onto the scaled floor plan to create an accurate and professional event floor plan in 90 seconds!
Create your own custom shapes, save these as your favourites. Your plans will have layers showing location of AV, data, power outlets. All plans show dimension lines and cubic capacity of venue along with max capacity plans.
