For the Exhibitor in Your Life

A few products and services for the exhibitor:

Digi Intl.’s Digi ShowBox is an electronic device that plays presentations for tradeshow exhibits, information displays and mobile presentations. It’s small, rugged, lightweight, easy to hide on a tradeshow floor and safe to ship, eliminating the need for dedicated laptops for presentations or expensive, single-use printed graphics. The Digi ShowBox is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. Some models allow users to customize how and when the multiple presentations appear.

Drytac’s new Alligator retractable banner’s hardware is completely hidden behind the graphic, leaving only the image visible. It can be used for tradeshows, public events or any other display environment. Multiple Alligator units can be configured to create economical backwall graphics. Graphics can be changed out fast with the Velcro application strip and, for side-by-side applications such as mural walls, the top rails are equipped with magnetic fasteners.

Reed Exhibitions’ eSPOC (electronic Single Point of Contact) program is connecting exhibitors and contractors at 15 Freeman-contracted shows this year to eliminate the need to visit the service desk. Using handheld instruments, eSPOC allows a show manager’s operations staff, Freeman and venue service suppliers to connect directly with exhibitors. Exhibitors who haven’t received services can approach a floor manager or Reed operations person to send a message instantly to Freeman and the necessary vendor.
