How Computer Rentals are Boosting Event Effectiveness

I work for the world’s largest computer rental company, Vernon Computer Source.

Through our parent company and industry affiliations, we are able to deliver IT equipment to nearly anywhere on the planet.

But no matter how near or far the location, there is one trend that our sales representatives have reporting back on; we are seeing more and more event planners call us – and they are now a major part of our customer base.

And they’re not calling us for any old tech product. They want the best – and here’s why:

Event planners are tasked with organizing, stocking and staffing events – which can be a tiresome task. Especially as many industries have evolved to embrace and even expect the latest technologies at their tradeshow functions.

Here are three examples of how renting a computer might prove useful for your next event:

Digital Signage Displays

HP, Samsung, Lenovo and others are now manufacturing fairly impressive LED/LCD touchscreen monitors which can be utilized as digital display systems. This means that product presentations can become interactive – which is kind of the holy grail of marketing. Conference goers can walk up to a digital screen and navigate their way through a presentation, choosing only the options which interest them. While these monitors can range in size, but are available in up to 60” models – which is big enough to guarantee notice.

iPads

Apple’s brainchild tablet can be used for more than just mobile computing. Several iPad apps have been developed that allow event professionals to capture lead data at the booth. Plus, as Apple’s monumental sales figures have shown – who doesn’t love an iPad?! For now, the public seems enamored with these handy little devices – and our iPad rentals tend to attract attention.

Projectors & Laptops

Events often call for presentations, training sessions or meetings. That’s where general IT equipment can come in handy. Projectors, laptops and video walls all have their purpose – there is almost no limit to the number of enhancements that technology can offer.

If you’re an event planner and you want to know how any of these new technical innovations can benefit your next industry outing, feel free to give us a call at 800-827-0352 or visit our website.

We’d love to hear from you.
