Lead Retrieval from SmartSource Rentals was used at U.S. Travel’s International Pow Wow Conference this year in Miami. This is the first time the conference has decided to offer lead retrieval to exhibitors and the show was a huge success. It is estimated that $4 billion worth of future business was booked in Miami at the Pow Wow conference this year, which underscores the importance for vendors in getting as much information as possible from attendees.
Lead Retrieval units from SmartSource rentals gather information by scanning the badge issued to conference attendees. This data is usually stored on a USB thumb drive or SD memory card, and can be imported directly into a spreadsheet immediately after a conference, tradeshow, or convention. This gives vendors the power to access relevant data about visitors to their booth quickly and conveniently.
The International Pow Wow Conference is the travel industry’s largest business marketplace, and it was a natural fit to work with the nation’s largest computer & AV rental company, SmartSource Rentals.

Green Solutions for Tradeshows & Events

SmartSource offers rental solutions that can help to reduce the impact on the environment for your next tradeshow, convention, or business event. These solutions are not only kinder to the environment, but in many cases they can also save you money!
Digital Document Library:
A digital document library is an electronic collection of documents available to visitors and attendees. These documents are arranged in a digital library, allowing people to scroll through and browse documents that may be relevant to their specific needs. Documents in this library can be downloaded directly to USB thumb drive, printed on site, or emailed via an internet connection. This cuts down on heavy and expensive print copies as well as gives attendees the documents most relevant to them in the format they prefer.

Digital Signage Solutions:
Digital Signage has a lot of different names associated with it (electronic signs, dynamic signage, captive audience network, digital media network, etc.) but generally speaking is a network of monitors displaying information that is all centrally managed. If you have ever been to a tradeshow or convention that had monitors in different areas displaying the floorplan, scheduling, agenda etc. then you are already familiar with digital signs. As with digital document libraries, Digital Signage can reduce or eliminate the need for heavy and expensive print material. In addition to the green benefits of reduced materials used, there can also be large reductions in the carbon footprint since heavy boxes/pallets of printed documents don’t need to be shipped to and from a printer and/or event location.
