Press release - Singapore, May 20, 2024. Canapii, a leader in event technology solutions, announced the launch of Canapii Seating, software designed to meet the specific and complex seating plan requirements of event organizers. The new product tackles a pain point that has frustrated event planners for years, in a market that had lacked a comprehensive solution.
Event organizers have long struggled to design seating plans that are flexible, efficient and applicable. Most existing tools are rigid and require considerable manual effort to configure, leading to errors and delays. Canapii Seating fills that gap with an adaptable, user-friendly platform that accommodates any event - whether a conference, gala, wedding or large-scale exhibition.
“As someone who has been involved in organizing numerous conferences, I know firsthand how much of a headache a seating plan can be,” said Steve Brazier, co-founder at Canapii. “The market hasn’t offered a good solution to this problem. Event organizers often spend hours, if not days, trying to create the perfect seating arrangement - including dietary, gender and job role requirements - only to face complications at the event. Canapii Seating was designed to change that. It offers flexibility, automation and real-time collaboration, all in one intuitive platform. It’s the solution we’ve all been waiting for.”
Canapii Seating stands out with a range of features built around how event teams actually work:
Customizable layouts: create seating plans tailored to any venue or event type, with flexibility in designing tables, rows and sections.
Automated seat assignment: advanced algorithms automate the process, taking attendee preferences into account and minimizing manual errors.
Fero, the AI chatbot: Canapii’s AI chatbot works hand-in-hand with organizers to create the seating plan that is just right for their event.
Real-time collaboration: multiple team members can work on the same seating plan, with changes reflected instantly.
Seamless attendee experience: attendees receive personalized seating information through integration with Canapii’s broader event management platform.
Access from any device: manage event seating anytime, anywhere.
To encourage early adoption, Canapii offered free access to Canapii Seating for a limited time to the first 100 event organizers who signed up. With the launch, Canapii reaffirmed its commitment to holistic solutions for event organizers - transforming how seating plans are designed and managed so planners can focus on creating exceptional event experiences.
