KioskCom NYC This week!

I'm in Mahattan this week to exhibit at KioskCom.com which is located at the Javitz center and the show runs Wed / Thurs, Oct. 15 & 16. If you are planning to attend, please stop by booth 539 and see me at our booth. The industry show on kiosks and digital signage is a great opportunity to explore the offerings of many vendors in the marketplace, from the very largest such as IBM to smaller vendors with specialty niche components or interesting software applications.

Today is a setup day for me, so I'll be at the center this afternoon setting up the booth, kiosks and our digital signage. Rob Brinkmeyer, our salesperson will be joining me this evening and throughout the show. I hope to be able to blog occasionally and share pics. But on the other hand, I hope to be so busy talking to you that I won't have time to blog! This show we have the new Hike & Bike concept app which is geared towards outdoor outfitter retail stores.

We are also showing a new wayfinding application that is for office complexes, a "Building Directory" application which allows for dynamic content management via an online tool to manage people and companies within an office building. This is shown on a large touch screen digital sign, but future versions will include a kiosk sized version. The flash front end allows you to search for a person or company in an office building or complex. The predictive text typing feature speeds up the process and gives a full profile with optional items such as photos, etc. Future enhancements include instant alerts that let your appointment know you have arrived for your meetings, and so much more. This is to be offered in an ASP model where you pay a monthly fee based on the number of people in your building. Touch Screen hardware is available for sale or lease as part of the package. Stop by the booth to see this cool real estate management tool.

Hope to see you at the show!
