NEXTECH3D.AI EXPANDS MAPD INTO AI-POWERED OPERATING SYSTEM WITH A MOBILE APP, CRYPTO PAYMENTS, AR NAVIGATION & AI MATCHMAKING

Nextech3D.AI Corp. has noted a major strategic leap in the evolution of its subsidiary Map D, which is now purpose built and positioned as an AI event technology suite. By migrating to Amazon Web Services, integrating real-time AI matchmaking, augmented reality navigation and cryptocurrency payments into its powerful new mobile app experience, MapD is positioning itself at the forefront of the global events industry.

This marks a pivotal step in Nextech3D.ai's broader AI strategy -- leveraging AI and AR to deliver intelligent, scalable and monetizable digital infrastructure for events, expos and conferences.

The new MapD suite now offers:

• Fully integrated mobile app -- Live on iOS and Android, the upgraded app unifies exhibitor booths, schedules, floor maps and user engagement into one seamless platform.
• Crypto payments -- Attendees, sponsors and exhibitors will be able to transact via stablecoins (USDC and USDT), opening up international accessibility and efficient B2B (business-to-business) settlements.
• AI matchmaking -- A proprietary engine uses user behaviour and interests to deliver hyper-relevant exhibitor, session and networking recommendations -- maximizing ROI (return on investment) and engagement.
• AR navigation -- Built on ARway's spatial computing, the app includes interactive maps with real-time wayfinding -- revolutionizing how attendees explore large venues.
• Live updates and engagement -- Organizers can push real-time alerts, special promotions and schedule changes to targeted user segments within the app.
• Event ROI tracking -- The app feeds performance metrics back to organizers and sponsors, enabling real-time campaign optimization and sponsor value tracking.

Evan Gappelberg, chief executive officer of Nextech3D.AI, comments: "These upgrades are a giant step forward for our company as MapD is no longer just a platform for managing trade shows -- it's an AI-powered, mobile-first event operating system. With the addition of AI recommendations, crypto payments and immersive AR navigation, we're creating an event experience that's smarter, faster and more profitable -- for attendees and organizers, alike."

The revamped MapD mobile app for both iOS and Android went live in July and is already booked across multiple large-scale events starting in September -- early adoption has been strong. Three organizations -- an industry association, a major corporate events group and a non-profit -- have signed annual contracts following successful beta trials. Their feedback highlights increased attendee satisfaction, deeper sponsor engagement and higher mobile app usage versus prior years.

Industry data supports the strategy (according to EventGroove):

• 91 per cent of event planners report positive ROI from mobile apps;
• Events using apps see up to 42 per cent more attendee engagement;
• Over 64 per cent of organizers rank mobile apps as their No. 1 event tech priority.

With a fully cloud-based, scalable architecture, MapD now powers 500-plus annual events, 50,000-plus exhibitors and over one million attendees. These AI infrastructure upgrades ensure it can serve even the largest and most complex event portfolios with high-speed performance and zero downtime.

Mr. Gappelberg added: "This is the beginning of a new era for MapD and Nextech3D.AI. We're moving beyond traditional event software into intelligent, immersive and globally scalable event solutions. It's the ultimate convergence of AI, AR, mobile and crypto -- built for the future of live experiences."
