Interactive displays enhance the appeal of your stand and increase visitor engagement. They offer a unique opportunity to communicate and interact with event attendees through physical contact, and there are many applications available on multiple types of displays.
But as with any event technology, it’s important to use it in a way that complements your event and maximizes the connection with your guests. Here are five of our favorite ways to use interactive displays at meetings and events.
GX Live Marketing offers touch screen rentals to businesses, institutions and meeting planners at trade shows and events nationwide.
5 ways interactive displays can enhance your event

Interactive display kiosks offer event attendees a great opportunity to showcase apps, websites, and branded content at scale. The large touchscreen allows you to manage group presentations on mobile devices instead of individual user manuals. For those looking for the best of both worlds, the Interactive Shopper is an interactive display kiosk that looks and works like a giant smartphone. It can load iOS and Android apps so users can interact with all of their favorite apps (plus active apps) on one giant phone.
2. Promote fun learning through play

One of the most exciting uses of touch technology is gaming. Games are always a great way to attract people to your booth, and there are several customizable software solutions coo means in company and templates to get you started. Regardless of the game or app you choose, the goal should be to create a unique brand connection by seamlessly integrating your company’s brand into the experience. Some of our favorite interactive display experiences include games like Trivia, Candy Crush, Club Penguin, but you can also include your brand with white label roulette games and more where you choose the questions and guests can go head-to-head or compete individually for prizes.

Touch screens and kiosks are ideal for displaying interactive documents, galleries, maps, and graphics at your event. They can also be strategically placed at key wayfinding stops so guests know where to go and what to do. These touch-enabled technologies allow visitors to find the information they need at their own pace, and you know your stakeholders are seeing what you want them to see.
4. Improve the speaker's speech

One component of events that often needs to increase engagement is speaker presentations. Instead of being stuck with Powerpoint slides on a projector screen, you can use touch-sensitive content to create stunning presentations.
Touch screens and large touch monitors can be used to zoom in and out of charts and graphs and advance slides in interesting ways. Another projection technology option that enhances presentations is renting tablets to share slideshows and live Q&A. Using audience response software on the iPad, attendees can follow along, take notes, conduct polls, and ask questions in real time.
5. Complete electronic registration and collect leads

Checking in on a touch screen is a great way to save paper and show off your tech skills right from the start. Interactive displays are also great for capturing leads because they can sync all of their signatures and email addresses to their cloud for easy access and storage. Be sure to offer prizes to members who give you information and promote the grand prize on digital signage and social media to generate more leads. On the other hand, iPad rentals with event schedules, maps, and social media are a great alternative to paper flyers and will provide instant second-screen engagement.
