Home show event software
Home show event software that helps attendees find the right exhibitor.
TripPass turns your exhibitor list, floor plan and seminar schedule into a searchable mobile show guide. Attendees scan one QR code, search for products such as roofing, kitchens or composite decking, and find the right booth without downloading an app.
$1,495 per show. No subscription. Optional QuickStart is $750.
New England home shows
One guide for a local show or a regional series
TripPass is home show event software for organizers in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. Each show keeps its own branding, exhibitors, floor plan, seminars and reporting, while a returning organizer can reuse the structure for the next city.
It works alongside your existing registration and ticketing. Start with one show, evaluate the attendee and exhibitor experience, then decide whether to use the same workflow across your series.

See the workflow
A home show example you can explore now
The New England Home & Remodeling Expo demo shows how an attendee can search a large show by need instead of company name: “composite decking” finds relevant exhibitors and booth locations, while an unavailable request returns an honest no-result answer rather than an invented match.
This is a clearly labeled fictional sales demo, not a customer case study and not a claim of live event results. Build a private preview to see the same workflow with your actual exhibitor list.
Examples attendees can search for
- Composite decking and outdoor living
- Roofing, gutters and replacement windows
- Kitchen remodeling and cabinetry
- Seminars, show specials and booth locations
What attendees get
- Search across every exhibitor, product and service on the floor
- Booth numbers with an approximate floor location
- The full seminar and demonstration schedule
- Show offers and specials in one place
- A saved list of booths to visit, kept on their phone
- Restrooms, food, parking and the show office
- Ask Margo for anything not covered
What you get as organizer

- A private portal so exhibitors maintain their own listing
- Announcements pushed to attendees during the show

Questions
About running a show on TripPass.
What is home show event software?
Home show event software gives organizers and attendees a digital way to navigate the show. TripPass combines a no-download mobile show guide, exhibitor and product search, booth locations, seminar schedules, show offers, permission-based lead capture and organizer reporting.
Do attendees have to download an event app?
No. TripPass opens from a QR code or a link in the phone's browser, so there is no app store, no account and no install step. Attendees can add it to their home screen if they want to, but nothing depends on it.
Is this a trade show lead capture app for exhibitors as well?
Yes. Exhibitors capture consent-based leads at the booth and see what each visitor was looking at, so lead retrieval is part of the same guide rather than a separate scanner rental. Every lead belongs to the exhibitor who captured it.
How do attendees find an exhibitor at a home show?
They search for what they actually want — a kitchen remodeler, a hot tub, gutter guards — rather than scanning a list of company names they do not recognise. TripPass matches products and services as well as names, then shows the booth number and where it sits on the floor.
How much work is it to set up a show?
Send your exhibitor list as a spreadsheet, your floor plan and your seminar schedule. TripPass imports and matches the columns, then gives you a private preview to review. Timing depends on the source files and review needed; next year's show can be cloned from this one.
How much does home show event software cost?
$1,495 per show with no subscription. Optional QuickStart is $750 per show for hands-on setup and is waived for qualifying founding organizers.
Does TripPass replace event registration or ticketing?
No. TripPass works alongside the registration, ticketing or event-management system you already use. It is the attendee discovery, engagement and permission-based lead layer for the show floor.
Can I see TripPass with my own home show data?
Yes. Build My Show Preview accepts your exhibitor spreadsheet, floor plan and optional seminar schedule so TripPass can prepare a private preview around your actual event.
Does TripPass support home shows across New England?
Yes. TripPass supports home, remodeling and garden show organizers across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont. The same event software works for a single local show or a regional show series.
What do exhibitors get?
A profile they maintain themselves through a private link, visibility to attendees searching their category, show offers they can publish, and consent-based leads captured at the booth with a record of what each person was interested in.
Can we send announcements during the show?
Yes. An announcement reaches attendees who already have the guide open — a seminar starting, a schedule change, a weather closing time — without needing anyone to have installed an app.
Does it work for garden, bridal, RV and boat shows too?
Yes. The structure is the same for any consumer expo with exhibitors, a floor plan and a schedule. Home and garden shows are simply where it is most used today.
Build your home show preview.
