Top Industry Supplier 2009 - SmartSource Rentals

Top Industry Supplier 2009 - SmartSource Rentals

SmartSource has been heavily involved in providing high quality Computer and AV rental equipment and technology solutions to trade shows, meetings, conventions, expos and countless similar events for decades. We have a huge depth of experience among all our staff and a reputation for doing whatever it takes to meet the unique needs of clients leading up to an event, on the trade show floor or meeting room, and afterwards with pickup and teardown.

A large majority of companies, vendors, and small businesses continually come back to SmartSource year after year to handle their meetings and trade show rental needs. These businesses know they can depend on SmartSource in any city, for any size show, for any amount of time. They know that SmartSource owns their own tradeshow rental equipment, has additional items or replacements nearby in one of their 22 locations, and has professional techs with real trade show and meeting experience to help get the equipment setup and running on time and up to spec.

Another advantage to renting Computer & AV equipment from a National leader like SmartSource Rentals, is the ability to provide the same equipment and solutions to every show a business attends throughout the season or the year. There is a major relief in knowing one company has the ability to provide the same order, setup, or equipment to 50 shows around the nation or just 5 shows around the same area. Working with one point of contact who is familiar with an order and can replicate that order anywhere you need it, can save precious time, energy, and money. Nobody wants to keep track of five different companies, five different sales representatives, and five different sets of equipment when they have the same need for their meeting or trade show. This is why businesses and companies continue to choose SmartSource, and this is why SmartSource was awarded the Top Industry Supplier Award from Conventions.net!

If you’re not happy with your current rental provider, or are looking for ways to save money or improve on your existing rental agreement give us a call and see how we can help. 800.888.8686 or fill out our rental quote form.

Digital Signage is quickly becoming a more popular solution for displaying dynamic information in multiple locations at conferences, tradeshows, or large expos.

What is Digital Signage: (aka: Digital Signs, Dynamic Signs,  Electronic Signs etc)

If you have ever looked at the flight arrival/departure screens in an airport, LCD screens at a conference center displaying different room or meetings information, or even the small flat screens with weather or news updates found in some modern elevators or taxi cabs then you have seen digital signage. In a nutshell, digital signs and digital signage is when you have information being displayed on large monitors or screens that is all centrally controlled or dynamic. It can also be combined with touch screen monitors to offer a more interactive experience.

What is Digital Signage used for?

SmartSource offers a variety of solutions using dynamic data and digital signs including:

Sponsorship Displays:
Display various information from Sponsors or Advertisers at your event as stand alone information or along side other relevant event information. SmartSource can work with you to create different sizes and varieties of sponsorship areas on different parts of the screen allowing you to offer different rates to your sponsors. View our Sponsorship Displays Digital Signage page for more information.

Dynamic Agenda Displays:
Imagine a convention center with 15 conference rooms that host new lectures in different rooms every hour for 10,000 attendees. Using digital signage, SmartSource can put LCD screens throughout the entire conventions center that dynamically display the topics, times, room numbers or other information allowing anyone to find what they are looking for fast. We can even provide the LCD Display Monitors or other equipment along with the digital signage solutions. Visit our Dynamic Agenda Displays Digital Signage page for more info.

Flight Information Boards:
Just as if you were in an airport, SmartSource Digital Signage can provide regional flight information at your event to keep attendees informed on the status of their flights or any delays. See our Flight Information Board Digital Signage Page for more info.

Room Agendas:
Similar to the Dynamic Agenda Displays, Room Agendas can be used to display information about a specific room or location and the upcoming events or activities in that specific room. See our Room Agenda Digital Signage page for more details.

Booth Locators:
Finding a booth in an exhibit hall with hundreds of vendors isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Our digital signage can provide a layout of different booths in a particular location along with different ways to locate the booth, number, or company you are trying to find. View our Booth Locator Digital Signage page for more info.
