Portable Touch Screens for Conferences

The Challenge

Eeger attends a large number of trade shows, conferences, and industry conventions each year—often in different cities and venues across Australia.

Like many exhibitors, Eeger relied on touch screen hire at each event to display digital content. While this seemed convenient on the surface, it created several ongoing problems:

• Inconsistent hardware at every location

• Different screen sizes, brightness levels, and mounting systems

• High and recurring hire costs

• Significant time spent coordinating suppliers at every event

• No guarantee of reliability or availability on bump-in day

Most importantly, the hired screens never provide a consistent part of Eeger’s brand presence.

Eeger needed a solution that would:

• Look the same at every event

• Be quick to deploy

• Be secure for public use

• Work even when venue Wi-Fi was unreliable

• Travel easily between events

The Requirements

Working closely with Eeger, we defined a clear set of requirements:

• A portable touchscreen display suitable for frequent travel

• Airline-checkable as standard baggage

• Fully branded, professional appearance

• Locked down so only approved content is accessible

• Able to operate independently of venue Wi-Fi

• Simple for non-technical staff to set up

• Supported remotely if issues arise

The Solution

We delivered a custom-built portable touchscreen kiosk system designed specifically for trade shows and conferences.

The solution included:

• A high-performance 21.5-inch Full HD touchscreen

• Powerful octa-core processing, ample memory, and fast storage

• Smooth 10-point capacitive touch for public interaction

• Integrated Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Bluetooth

• Enterprise-grade kiosk management compatibility

Rather than relying on venue internet, we integrated a UniFi UMR Ultra 4G router, giving Eeger a fully self-contained connectivity solution that works anywhere there is mobile coverage.

Built for Travel

A key requirement was portability.

The complete unit:

• Packs down into a Pelican flight case

• Uses custom foam inserts to protect all components

• Weighs approximately 25 kg

• Falls well within airline checked baggage limits

• Can be transported by staff without freight or couriers

On site, the fully branded stand can be assembled using just four bolts, allowing rapid bump-in and bump-out.

Secure, Branded, and Reliable

To ensure proper content control the Kiosks were configured with:

• Professional kiosk software locks the screen to approved content

• Users cannot access system settings or the operating system

• Custom attract screens display branded content when idle

• After each session, the screen automatically clears its cache, ensuring no user data is retained

Remote support software is installed on every unit, allowing issues to be diagnosed and resolved remotely whenever the device is connected to the internet.

The Outcome

Eeger can now attend events with:

• A consistent digital presence at every show

• No screen hire logistics

• No last-minute technical surprises

• Significantly reduced long-term costs

• Faster setup and pack-down

• A professional, branded experience for every visitor
