Interactive digital kiosks have been commonplace in expos for years. Their easy-to-use touchscreens are perfect for those who need venue information quickly.

ExpoFP floor plans can be incorporated seamlessly into the kiosks at your next trade show. Then, attendees can see on the floor plan what companies are present, where their booths are located and the best route to get there.

Your kiosks can also act as a starting point for wayfinding. Attendees can simply tap the booth, stage or lounge they are looking for and then tap the Directions button. The quickest path appears instantly on the screen.

Below, you can see an attendee using wayfinding on a Cloud Touch kiosk featuring ExpoFP floor plans. ExpoFP partnered with Cloud Touch for IMEX America, the largest U.S. trade show for the global meetings, events and incentive travel industry.

Our floor plans have the same functionality on a large touch-screen kiosk as on a phone or tablet. This makes it easy for attendees to pull up company information, see where only booths of a particular category are located or check the timeline of live events.

"The ExpoFP platform is like peanut butter to our jelly kiosks," said Eitan Magid of interactive technology company Popshap which specializes in designing touch-screen kiosks. Popshap used ExpoFP floor plans on their kiosks for Groceryshop, the leading annual event for grocery products and consumer packaged goods. According to Magid, it was "the perfect combo."

This mode presents the floor plan in a user-friendly kiosk interface. The exhibitors' list is accessible via the search bar, ensuring a clutter-free display. Notably, buttons are enlarged for improved accessibility, and sponsors' logos are showcased at the bottom.

The kiosk refreshes every 30 seconds of inactivity, so the map stays centered for the next visitor. Additionally, a QR code positioned at the bottom-left corner allows visitors to seamlessly scan and access the map on their mobile devices.

You can download and run floor plans on the kiosks, allowing them to work offline. Go to Integration  - Download floor plan. Next, choose a download option that is compatible with the kiosk operational system and click Download Floor Plan.

Add /?kiosk=1 at the end of the floor plan URL and press Enter to see it in kiosk  mode. For example:

https://demo.expofp.com/?kiosk=1 — kiosk mode view on

To turn on kiosk mode and display the You Are Here icon, add /?__yah%20yah_1 at the end of the URL and press Enter. For example:

To turn off the You Are Here icon, add /?__yah%20none to the end of the URL and press Enter.
