I like the concept, after a brief look at the site here are my thoughts:

1) The site has a clean look but is fairly boring and bland. Get some more color and design going. It's hard to separate content visually etc.

2) As a side project it looks cool but I don't see the startup potential. Where's the money going to come from? Ads on floor plans? Your click thrus will be low I fear.

3) How do you get more content? What's the motivation for me or for a conference center to get their floor plan on your site? I'm not sure it solves a problem that existed before. Was navigation of conferences and hotels that big of an issue?

Some ideas: 1) Make mobile access possible a bigger selling point. If I can get to it from my iphone or blackberry etc then that makes it a bit more useful.

2) Find your way to draw in more content.

3) Find your line to profit. Is it a directory for conventions + this nifty layout and mapping utility? Do you rent a higher quality system for events willing to pay for it?

I'm not trying to cast dispersion and such, good luck on it :)
