Kioskcom Self Service Expo Announces Kiosk & Self Service Expert Tours Lineup

KioskCom Self Service Expo recently announced themes for the April 14-15, 2010 Kiosk & Self-Service Expert Tours, complimentary tours offered to all interested attendees on the exhibit hall floor during KioskCom Self Service Expo. The tours will run concurrently with the Digital Signage Connection Tours.

Taking place at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, this year's spring show will continue a 14-year tradition of furthering the growth of kiosk, self-service and digital signage deployments and education.

Each tour will focus on a particular subject or interest area and will be guided by no-nonsense industry veterans, eager to provide participants with straightforward opinions and ideas on what to look for and how to efficiently navigate the trade show floor and accomplish the goals set prior to attending the event.

Participants will get a clear sense of the kiosk and self-service ecosystem, how companies present themselves, terminology, value propositions and trends. Tour guides will give a thorough overview of how the different parts of a self service deployment develop, the roles various vendors play, the scope of services, fundamental keys to success, and an overall picture of how a project itself fits within the moving pieces of an organization.

The tours will be guided by long-time industry experts from St. Clair Interactive Communications, Frank Mayer & Associates and Summit Research Associates

Each 45 minutes 45 minute tour will depart from the Tour Stop Station at the front of the Exhibit Hall.
