Tips on Medical Show Rentals

A recent study released at the 2010 Healthcare Convention & Exhibitors Association Healthcare Convention Marketing Summit in January found out some interesting things relating to medical tradeshows - mainly what doctors want to see at these shows and how it’s still important to see everything in one place at one time.

An overview of the study from MeetingsNet.com gives some important information for exhibitors at these tradeshows regarding what the doctors want. If you plan to attend a medical tradeshow or are currently renting equipment for these shows you may want to make sure the rentals you have are what the doctors are looking for.You may also find some good tips on what type of staff or members you want in the booths at these shows.

In addition to the usual lounge, food, and space mentions, other items mentioned included Wi-Fi, Interactive Kiosks, and Clearer Signage. All of these items can be rented from SmartSource Rentals, and we currently provide rental services and equipment for conventions, tradeshows, and events all over the nation. Based on the overview of the study you might want to try renting some of the following for your next medical show -

	Trade Show Internet- Our Trade Show Internet solution is a great way to avoid the high in-house fees and get your own ‘Internet-in-a-box’ solution
	Interactive Touch Screen Kiosk - Interactive Kiosks are a great way to provide information to visitors at your booth. We have branding options as well as green solutions like our Digital Document Library that can provide booth visitors with all the documents they need.
	Plasma & LCD Monitors - Just about every tradeshow is flooded with Plasma Displays or LCD screens showing everything from videos, to images to camera feeds. We have a huge variety of brands and sizes including 3 X 3 seamless video walls.

MPI Networking Events - Tonight in Chicago

SmartSource is  excited to be working with MPICAC (Meeting Professionals International Chicago Area Chapter) on two simultaneous culturally inspired networking events going on in the Chicago area tonight. Members are invited and encouraged to register and attend these dynamic events at either of the two locations.

SmartSource Rentals is going to be providing some our technology expertise and equipment at these events with the goal of helping educate MPI members on social networking sites and how they can be applied to their events. Each location will also be able to see the other during the event through two ustream webcasts as well - very cool! Trade Show Internet helped make this possible by enabling the events to get online as internet is available at either venue.  We’ll be using 4G cards in each location.
