Events Map Plugin for Sitefinity

Events Map is a plugin that displays events on a global map via Google Maps on your Sitefinity site. It produces the map with pins of all the events you have available on your website. A click of the pin will open a billboard-type section on the map with the event details with a link to the event page. An excellent tool for international organizations to communicate events world-wide to their community.

Events Map is FREE to use and distribute as you wish. If you enjoy my work, please consider making a donation to help me expand on features and optimizations.

  • Drag-and-drop control that can be added to any page
  • Reads your events automatically without further configurations
