The Madinah Book Fair integrated modern technologies to facilitate visitors’ searches for books, participating publishers, or exhibition areas hosting various activities.
Through interactive maps, similar to GPS navigation maps, that are installed throughout the fairgrounds, visitors can locate publishers and authors and can also navigate all areas of the fair by scanning Quick Response (QR) codes on their mobile devices, including the main stage, workshop areas, children’s zone, book signing platforms, restaurants and cafes, restrooms, prayer areas, and others.
The interactive touch-enabled maps spread throughout the exhibition operate with advanced technology, allowing visitors to search for specific publishers and obtain detailed information such as their names, the booth number where they are located, the distance to reach them, and the estimated time required.
