Popshap’s Q1 2023 Product Introductions

The best new trade show technology is already being seen on the exhibition floor in some exciting uses by both organizers and exhibitors alike. As far as new trade show technology, 2023 has already been a great year for Popshap with several new product introductions in this past first quarter. These new products have allowed us to display dynamic, customized content to our customers in a totally new format. We are excited to share this new trade show technology, along with some of the ways it has been effectively used by our clients. 


Double Screen Kiosk

If you're an event organizer looking to attract sponsorships to your event, then a double screen kiosk is the perfect solution. With this new trade show technology in place, you can display interactive content such as an agenda and digital wayfinding on the bottom screen, while the top screen displays ads, sponsorships, or event content.

A double screen kiosk gives attendees and organizers the ability to click on areas of the event from the bottom screen, while sponsorships that correlate can be brought to the top screen to link the two together. This is a great new trade show technology for organizers to attract sponsorships and to make sure their sponsors get the most value from their investment. Using both screens in tandem can create a more captivating experience for attendees, and strengthen relationships between organizers and sponsors. 


AI on touchscreen kiosks

With the help of AI on touch screen kiosks, event organizers can automate and streamline tasks that used to be manual and time consuming. AI is a new trade show technology that is making it easier for organizers to create personalized experiences, expand their reach, and provide better customer service

One way AI on touch screen kiosks can be used for event organizers is to create an automated service desk. AI can take in service requests from exhibitors and coordinate them with the event app, so they will always have up-to-date information about their requests. This eliminates the need for long phone calls or complicated online forms. AI can also be used to provide personalized event experiences by gathering data from attendees and using that data to create unique experiences. For example, AI can be used to suggest activities, food, or drinks based on customer preferences.

Another great feature of having AI on touchscreen kiosks, is that it can reduce cost and increase efficiency. AI can help event organizers quickly and accurately process payments, registration forms, and surveys. It can also be used to run automated marketing campaigns that target potential customers more accurately.

AI on touchscreen kiosks is a great tool for event organizers but it is also a new trade show technology that can make the attendee experience more efficient, stress-free and productive. AI can help match exhibitors with the right attendees and create a personalized agenda and calendar, making it easier to create a plan of action for the event. It can also provide a walkthrough of the venue and identify which exhibitors to meet.

When it comes to AI, there is often a lead time of setting it up before it can go out and be used. For example, systems such as AI-powered facial recognition need to undergo a learning phase before they can be fully functional. During this period, the system will be fed data and given the necessary information to be able to get the task at hand done accurately and automatically. Once these systems are put into use, the longer they stay in the same place, the more efficient they become.



Flex Led’s

Flex LED’s are a great new trade show technology if you are looking to make an impact. Not only can they cover a lot of surface area, but they can also provide flexibility when it comes to making your booth stand out. Flex LEDs can be used for round or circular shaped hanging displays that can be seen from anywhere on the trade show floor. Curved surfaces can now become a showcase for video content with endless creative opportunities to provide a fully immersive experience.

Aside from the aesthetic appeal of Flex LED’s, there are many logistical advantages as well. Flex LEDs are less fragile than traditional LED tiles, resulting in a lower breakage rate. This means that extra tiles don’t need to be brought to the show, making the setup process much quicker and simpler.


Hologram Fan Projector 

Hologram fan projectors provide a visually stunning way for companies to create a “Wow” factor around their products or branding. Depending on the technology used, hologram fans can display 3D images, videos, or text, and can be used for a variety of purposes at trade shows. The applications of this new trade show technology include:

• Product Demonstrations: Hologram fans can provide a striking visual for product demonstrations, allowing visitors to get an immersive and 3D look at products without having to physically touch them.

• Logos and Branding: Holograms are a great way to showcase a company’s logo and branding. When placed in the center of a trade show booth, they can be seen from all angles and create a stunning visual representation of a company’s brand.

• Visual Storytelling: Holograms can be used to tell stories, allowing companies to capture the imagination of visitors and leave a lasting impression. They can be used to explain complex concepts in a visually stimulating way, making it easy for visitors to understand and remember. 

Overall, hologram fans are an innovative and creative new trade show technology for companies who want to make a statement. They can be used to capture the attention and imagination of visitors, create brand awareness, and explain complex ideas in an easy-to-understand way.
