5 Interactive Booth Ideas

You can alsoprovide entertaining gamification experiences that educate attendees about your offering.

These kiosks allow attendees to take control of their own experience and seek out theinformation that they are interested in. They’re not only a great lead capture tool, they are also away to spark conversations in the booth and optimize follow-up messaging after the show.

2. Presentations and Shows

Booth presentations have long been used to attract and engage trade show attendees. Usingdigital media to augment those presentations can be a great way to revitalize your boothpresentation strategy. Exhibitors can use tools like live audience polling, animation, and multi-touch displays to enhance presentations and engage audiences with memorable experiences.

Once there, branded VRexperiences can immerse attendees in your brand’s messaging while also being highlyentertaining and exciting.

4. Live Streams

Live streaming is an interesting way to engage both attendees at the show and perhaps thosewho could not attend.

Have people register for access to the live feed, so that youcan follow up with them after the presentation.
