Computer Kiosk - The Cool Interactive Technology Tool


A computer kiosk rental is a stand-alone PC that contains a locked integrated housing unit. This type of terminal usually contains a monitor and keyboard or pointing device, unless it is touch-screen operated.

A computer kiosk is designed to be a "self-service" unit. This means users do not have to know anything about the computer itself or the applications that run on it. The event meeting services organization should make certain that all applications on the computer kiosk are highly intuitive. The best way to test this is to have someone who is afraid or unfamiliar with computers try out the various applications.

A number of kiosk rentals could be placed in a variety of locations throughout a large conference or event. Many touch panel kiosks could be running the same application, but a few may be running different applications. The main intention of utilizing a computer kiosk is to allow for more fluid movement of the attendees and to allow the conference services organization to employ fewer employees to manage the event.

Here are some great applications for kiosk rentals at your next event or conference: a welcome message, information about the agenda, speakers, and/or Conference Room directions, short videos on speakers, launches, and/or entertainment, check-in to event for those pre-registered, walk-in self-registration with credit card, "Who to Call" for support or questions, or a photo booth.

Kiosks can also provide neighborhood maps with the following information: local restaurant listings, entertainment, and walking or running paths.

When departing the event, use a kiosk for check-out with a survey, or to provide Internet access for flight information, weather, or traffic updates.

Consider contacting a meeting services company when you are thinking of computer kiosks or any interactive technology tool rentals. Their technology experts can recommend the best touch panel kiosk for your next conference or event.

  1. Thanks for sharing this! I have been looking at a computer kiosk for my place of business because we have always discussed how the technology can help improve the business that we are in. It can help customers navigate through our website to book reservations right from the kiosk itself.
