At a recent trade show for the National Restaurant Association, it was striking how many food service booths utilized a kiosk for their display. When asked if the kiosks were secured with kiosk system software, most answered, “No”.

Trade shows are a great way for businesses to showcase their products, network with potential customers, and generate leads. However, if a company chooses to utilize kiosks throughout the trade show, they should be properly secured with lockdown software to protect the data that is collected. 

Some benefits of using trade show kiosks at the booth include:

1. Reduces staffing requirements. By introducing kiosks to your booth, fewer staff members are required to handle the influx of visitors, which reduces labor costs.
2. Improves data accuracy. Since visitors use the kiosks to input their information, there is less chance for error compared to when it is done manually. 
3. Offers personalized experiences. Incorporating branding and other features into the kiosks allows for a more personalized experience for attendees. This can help create a positive impression of the company or event.
4. Provides useful insights. The data collected through kiosks can be used to better understand attendees, such as their demographics and interests. This can help event organizers improve future trade shows.

While trade show kiosks can offer numerous benefits, it is important to keep in mind that not all attendees may want to use them. Some visitors may prefer to have human interaction during their visit, and it is important to ensure that there are adequate staff available to assist those who require it.

In conclusion, trade show kiosks offer numerous benefits to both visitors and exhibitors, and their use is becoming increasingly prevalent at trade shows. Even if a kiosk is only utilized for a trade show booth rather than in the field, it is essential that they are running securely. That’s where KioWare comes in!
