Creative Ways to Use Touch Screen Kiosks at Your Next Event

Touch screen kiosks are a good way to fascinate guests to your trade show booth and increase attendee engagement at any event. They provide an irreplaceable opportunity to communicate and join forces with event-goers through the physical act of touch, and there is a swarm of applications to use across various types of digital displays. As with any event technology or software though, it’s vital to utilize them in a way that matches your event and makes the most of guest interaction.  What follows are five of our favorite ways to use touch screens at meetings and events. GAMIFICATION   One of the most thrilling applications for touch screen kiosks is gamification. Games are always a good way to attract individuals into your booth and there is a range of software solutions obtainable with customizable templates to get you started. Regardless of the game or app, you select, the goal should be to promote brand connections by effortlessly incorporating your company branding into the digital experience. Right now our favorite gamification technology is trivia and a prize wheel, but there are a ton of games to choose from. SELF-SERVICE Touch screen kiosks are wonderful for displaying interactive brochures, galleries, maps, and programs at your event. They can also be strategically placed at key stations for wayfinding, so guests will know where to go and what to do. These touch information stations will allow attendees to find the information they need at their own pace and you’ll know that interested parties are seeing the content you want them to. PAPERLESS REGISTRATION & LEAD CAPTURE Utilizing a touch screen kiosk for your check-in is a good way to save on paper and show your brand's tech-savvy from the get-go. Touch screen kiosks are also great for capturing leads because they can sync all your contact names and email addresses with your cloud for simple access and storage. Make sure to offer reasons for attendees giving you their info, and advertise big rewards on digital signage and social media to get more leads. On another note, digital kiosk rentals loaded with event schedules, maps, and social networking make great substitutes to paper brochures and will provide instantaneous engagement.
