Confanum gives you a branded attendee app with interactive maps, a vendor management system that handles applications through booth assignments, performer schedules, ticketing, and a dashboard that keeps the entire operation visible from one screen.

Built for the Unique Needs of Faires and Markets

Branded Faire App

A Branded App Your Patrons Love

Attendees open your app and see your faire's identity β€” not a generic event listing. Interactive grounds maps show every booth, stage, and food court. Performer schedules update in real time. Push notifications announce the joust is starting or the glassblower demo is about to begin.

Vendor Management System

Vendor Management from Application to Booth

Artisans and vendors apply through a public form on your website. Review applications, approve or waitlist, assign booth locations, and communicate updates β€” all from one dashboard. Approved vendors flow directly into the app's searchable directory with photos, categories, and map pins.

Interactive Grounds Map

Interactive Maps for Sprawling Grounds

Upload your grounds map and place tappable pins for every artisan booth, food vendor, performance stage, restroom, and parking area. Patrons pinch-to-zoom and navigate acres of faire grounds without ever needing to ask for directions or unfold a paper map in the wind.

Why Confanum for Faires and Markets

πŸͺ

Vendor Directory & Applications

A complete vendor pipeline: public application form, review dashboard, approval workflow, booth assignment, and a searchable vendor directory in the app with photos, categories, and map locations.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Grounds Maps That Work

Faires cover acres, not hallways. Upload satellite imagery or illustrated maps with interactive pins for every point of interest. Attendees always know where they are and what is nearby.

🎟️

Ticketing & Season Passes

Sell single-day tickets, weekend passes, and season passes online with promo codes. QR check-in at the gates keeps lines moving. Track attendance by day and time for planning next year.

🎭

Performer Schedules

Jousts, comedy shows, musical acts, craft demonstrations β€” build a multi-stage schedule with locations and times. Patrons browse by time, stage, or performer type. Changes push instantly to every phone.

πŸ“’

Real-Time Announcements

Weather delays, gate closures, surprise performances β€” push notifications reach every patron instantly. Scrolling banner messages handle ongoing updates without notification fatigue.

πŸ™‹

Volunteer Coordination

Faires run on volunteers. Public applications, shift building, self-service shift selection, hour tracking, and a cross-event volunteer database so your loyal crew follows you season after season.

What Faire Organizers Are Saying

"We have over 200 vendor booths spread across 30 acres. The interactive map alone cut our 'where is booth 47?' questions by 90%. Patrons just open the app and tap."

Faire Director Regional Renaissance Faire

"Vendor applications used to mean hundreds of emails and a spreadsheet from hell. Now it's one form, one dashboard, and we can approve, assign booths, and notify vendors without ever opening our inbox."

Vendor Coordinator Artisan Craft Market

"Our patrons used to miss half the shows because they didn't know what was happening where. Now the schedule is live on their phone and they get a push notification before every joust."
