InTouch Information Kiosks

We are dedicated to providing information services for Events

The Event Kiosk Service

The InTouch service is the provision of information and messaging kiosks at events. An attendee’s RFID badge enables them to use the kiosk. The service covers the configuration, provision and support of specialised hardware and software for kiosk computer equipment at a conference or other event. Our kiosk system is designed to operate in multiple locations with limited or intermittent interconnectivity. See the bottom of this page for pricing.

Core Module

At the heart of the service is a Core Module. This module consists of:

Launch Page Idle kiosks will display:
Unread messages – A scrolling list of people with unread messages – see Message Board below
Agenda - A static list of the next few agenda items, automatically changed by the clock
Slide Show - An automatically changing photographic slideshow - photographs can be added and removed by event administrators
Event News - A scrolling list of items – items can be added and removed by event administrators
Authentication Login - Attendees login to the system by presenting their badge to the RFID reader
Message Board Administrator messages:
Preparation - Using a browser, administrators can create messages to attendees
Reading - Attendees need to log in to the kiosk to read messages
See Optional Modules section for additional messaging services.
Personal Information Display Details of the information held for the individual who has logged on to the kiosk - Information will include:
Personal - Name, Job Title, Organization
Travel - Flights, trains, transfers
Accommodation - Hotel name, check in, check out
Sessions - Breakouts, activities
Attendees Listings by last name, country and organisation - this will show all attendees other than event staff.
Agenda A list of event sessions
Conference Information A free form repository for information likely to be of interest to attendees
Data Management Mechanisms for receiving registration and other data from an external source

The Core Module is charged at a flat rate per event irrespective of event size and duration.

Configuration Elements

In addition to the Core Module, certain items are necessary for the provision of the service. These items are charged according to the size and duration of the event. These are:

Kiosk Computers Preparation Preparation of each computer including all operating system updates, system drivers and Sandeye’s kiosk software - this includes hub servers and spares
Charges for Dedicated Kiosks are lower than for other computers used for kiosks
Dedicated Kiosks - are IBM Touch-Screen computers with attached RFID readers.
Notebook Kiosks - are other computers requiring a mouse and screen
Kiosk Computers Configuration Physical deployment of configured Kiosk hardware into their operational locations prior to the event start and recovery at the end of the event. This is charged per kiosk.
On-Site Support An appropriate number of people will be available at the event during all times that the kiosk service is available to the event attendees. This is charged for each room where kiosks are deployed per event day. This charge reflects the event complexity - the level of support for the operation, monitoring and maintenance of kiosk computers at each of the event locations - hotels, conference venues, halls etc.
1st Room is charged at a flat rate per event day and Other Rooms are charged at a lower rate per event day.

Optional Modules

The currently available, additional modules are:

Attendee to Attendee Messages Attendees may send simple messages to other attendees - see Unread Messages in the Core Module above. This extends the ‘Message Board’ module and is charged at a flat rate per event.
N.B. Messages cannot be sent to external recipients or to multiple attendees.
Location News The Core Module includes scrolling event news. An additional scrolling display can be incorporated into the Launch Page (see Core Module) to show location specific news - items related to a specific hotel or event venue. This is subject to a maximum of 25 locations. This module is charged at a flat rate per event.
