Let visitors serve themselves
Touchscreen Kiosks for Booths and Shows
Freestanding touchscreen kiosks for product demos, surveys and lead forms, wayfinding, and self check-in, ready for your content.
At a glance
A trade show kiosk is a freestanding touchscreen that visitors use on their own, for a product selector, a survey or lead form, a sign-up, wayfinding, or self check-in. ConventionVendor.com rents booth and show-floor kiosks ready for your web page or app, with optional printers or scanners, delivered for move-in.
A booth staffer that never takes a break
When your booth is busy, a kiosk lets visitors explore on their own: answer a few questions, browse products, watch a demo, or leave their details. Staff can then step in with the right conversation.
Show organizers use kiosks too: wayfinding near entrances, session schedules, sponsor content, and self-service registration. A freestanding kiosk fits where a table would block traffic.
Most kiosks run a web page or app in a locked full-screen mode so visitors stay on your content. Tell us what will run on the kiosk and we will set it up that way.
| Placement | The open edge of the booth, angled toward the aisle |
|---|---|
| Power | One standard outlet per kiosk, from your booth electrical order |
| Content | Your web page or app in a locked full-screen mode |
| Connectivity | Offline-capable forms avoid relying on show-floor Wi-Fi |
| Add-ons | Barcode or QR scanner, small printer |

Kiosks on the show floor
Decide early whether the kiosk needs internet. A form that syncs later can run offline, which avoids problems at venues that restrict hotspots or where shared Wi-Fi is busy. Live content needs a reliable connection from the venue's provider.
Place kiosks at the open edge of the booth, angled toward the aisle, with a clear line of sight from staff. Plan the outlet location on your electrical order so the power cord does not cross a walkway.
For public-area kiosks, check with show management and the venue about placement, fire lanes, and power in common areas.

Frequently asked questions
Can a kiosk run our website or app?
Yes. Most booth kiosks run a web page or app in a locked full-screen mode. Send us the address or app name and we will set the kiosk to open it and keep visitors on it.
Can a kiosk scan badges?
Kiosks can be paired with a barcode or QR scanner. If you need the show's official lead retrieval data, check with the show's lead retrieval provider, since badge data formats are usually set by the show.
Does a kiosk need internet at the show?
Only if your content needs a live connection. Many forms and demos can run offline and sync afterward, which is useful at venues with strict wireless rules.
What size kiosks are available?
Tablet-based kiosks work well for forms and surveys. Larger freestanding touchscreen kiosks suit product selectors, maps, and content meant to be seen from a few steps away.
