One place for every local event. Accept public submissions, organize by group or venue, and embed the calendar on your own website. AI can even find events happening near you and suggest them for your calendar.*
*Suggested events are in early access. Reach out to us and we’ll turn it on for your account.
Proxi's interactive map maker lets you build a custom map in minutes and share it by embedding on your website, linking, or printing. Create business directories, event maps, and visitor guides that look great on any device. No code, no designers, no headaches. Start from scratch, or let AI build the first draft: paste your website, upload a PDF or spreadsheet, or find nearby places and we’ll add the pins for you.
Bring in the directory you already have from a spreadsheet, PDF, or website and we’ll do the setup. Searchable, filterable, embedded on your site, and every business gets a portal login to keep its own listing current. Embed and share anywhere.
Everything a visitor app does, opened from a QR code. Create self-guided walking tours, interactive city and neighborhood guides. Add locations, photos, descriptions, and directions for dining, shopping, public art, campus tours, and more. Message participants directly via SMS or email. Try the guide on the left. Best experienced on a phone.
Digital trails and check-in challenges that drive foot traffic to every stop. Participants check in with QR codes, GPS, clues, or photo proof, earn prizes, and hear from you by text or email along the way.
Run ‘Best Of’ contests, local favorites voting, and community choice awards that boost engagement, grow your email list, attract sponsors, and create shareable buzz.
Set up your packages and levels once. Businesses pick a level and pay online (or you record the check), and you see who’s paid, who’s due, and who to nudge from one page. Sponsors, annual dues, and booth fees, all in one place.
Every program grows your list: passport participants, voters, sponsors, business contacts. Message any of them by email or text from one place, and add sign-up forms anywhere to keep the list growing.

Find out how our customers feel about working in the platform.
Working with Proxi has been a game-changer for our organization. It allows us to visually tell the stories of America's best places in a way that's engaging and informative. Proxi and their team's support have truly elevated our place marketing strategies.
We will continue using Proxi for a really long time because it is so easy to update, put on our website, and use in different ways.
Our valentines day trail has been a hit and our engagement is phenomenal! Prior events similar to this might generate a handful of photos and excitement, but with Proxi, we have gotten over 700 registrants and 488 check-ins. It took me less than two hours to get up, running and launched. The ease is amazing!
Proxi started as a trick-or-treat map that went viral in 2020. Chelsey (marketing) and Melinda (engineering) built it so a community could launch something in an afternoon instead of a quarter.
Today, Proxi supports thousands of communities and hundreds of thousands of maps, guides, and programs, with the same friendly support and guidance we’ve believed in from the start.
*Tip! Get to know Chelsey and Melinda through our weekly Proxi newsletter, packed with ideas, updates, and best practices.
