How do you get people to actually stop at your stand?

At an exhibition a visitor decides in three seconds whether to stop. After that they'll give you 30-90 seconds. Those two numbers decide which activities work on a stand — and which ones just take up space.

What we recommend for this event

Every one of these is from our own inventory, available to rent with staff.

AI photo booth — Conference, expo, B2B

AI photo booth

The best entry point for a stand: the photo is ready in 60 seconds, and while it renders there's time to talk to the visitor. The image is delivered against an email — that's your lead capture.

Holobox — Conference, expo, B2B

Holobox

Floating 3D content visible from the aisle. At an exhibition this is the visual hook that stops a visitor in front of your stand.

Trivia Night — Conference, expo, B2B

Trivia Night

An interactive quiz about your product or industry. Correct answers earn a reward, and along the way the visitor learns what you actually do.

Robot Warriors — Conference, expo, B2B

Robot Warriors

An instant crowd magnet at a tech conference. Two visitors play, ten stop to watch — exactly what you want in front of a stand.

Claw Game — Conference, expo, B2B

Claw Game

The claw machine is the oldest trick in the book because it works: the visitor comes over, plays, and there's a natural window to talk.

Lucky Spin — Conference, expo, B2B

Lucky Spin

A spin in exchange for a sign-up — the fastest and least intrusive data-capture format on a stand.

Laser Lux — Conference, expo, B2B

Laser Lux

A personalised gift engraved on the spot. The visitor takes the object back to their office, where your brand stays in view for months.

Print My Drink — Conference, expo, B2B

Print My Drink

Your logo or the visitor's face printed on the coffee foam. A small trick, but half the photos taken at the stand will be of it.

Gifie Trading Cards — Conference, expo, B2B

Gifie Trading Cards

A conference card made from the visitor, with name and job title. A business-card swap replacement that doesn't end up in the bin.

Visual hook + short interaction + reward

Those three elements are the recipe for a stand activation that works. The hook is visible from down the aisle (Holobox, robot battles, 360 movement). The interaction is short so no queue builds and your team can talk. The reward is something the visitor takes home — a printed photo, an engraved object, branded merch. Miss any one of them and the stand is either empty or full of people who leave no contact behind.

How many visitors is that?

A 60-90 second activity delivers 30-50 meaningful interactions an hour, queuing included. Across a three-day exhibition that's 600-900 conversations — far more than the same team reaches with coffee and leaflets.

And if food is on the list…

And if food is on the list: at a conference, barista coffee is one of the strongest stand magnets there is. We can arrange it through Snack Supply, branded cups included.

Coffee bar

At a conference a barista counter is by far the strongest stand magnet.

Snack bar

Sweet and savoury bites for the breaks between sessions.

Bubble Tea Bar

A coffee alternative that lands with a younger professional crowd.

Custom concepts we'd build for this

These aren't off-the-shelf rentals but concepts: if one appeals, we'll talk through the build and the lead time.

Custom concept

Stand Traffic Combo

A visual hook (Holobox), a 30-90 second interaction (quiz or Lucky Spin) and a reward (an engraved gift or printed photo), wired into one flow with shared data capture. The visitor completes the journey and your team gets a qualified contact.

Custom concept

Are you smarter than the AI?

A touchscreen duel against an AI using questions from your industry. It works on a stand because it creates competition, and the question set carries your professional message.

Frequently asked questions

How big does the stand need to be?
Most stations fit in 2x2 m, and the Holobox and quiz screen can be wall-mounted. For a 3x3 m stand we usually recommend two activities, no more.
Do we get the captured data after the event?
Yes. Sign-ups and photo requests are handed over in a structured format after the event, along with the consents collected under your own privacy notice.
Who operates the activity on the stand?
A Gifie host comes with every machine, so your team can focus on conversations and selling.
