Design the Room, Then Sell It: Room Diagramming in Momentus Enterprise
Eric Blouin, Seth Halvaksz
Thursday September 17, 2026 08:30 - 08:55 EDT Richardson A
Enterprise
For decades, venue teams have built room diagrams in disconnected CAD tools, then manually re-created service orders and work orders from scratch — a process ripe for errors and wasted hours. This session explores how embedding live, bidirectional diagramming directly into venue management software closes that gap, letting diagrams and service orders update each other in real time. We'll walk through the operational pain points this solves, the design decisions behind syncing diagrams to live event data, and what early adopters are already seeing in their day-to-day workflows. Attendees will leave with a clear picture of how this shift can streamline setup accuracy and reclaim significant staff time.
