MRO Europe, the event for the commercial aviation aftermarket in the region, is set to provide an enhanced attendee experience with the help of ExpoFP and Giant iTab. This year’s event, running 22-24 October, 2024, at Fira Barcelona , is expected to gather over 10,000 attendees and 550+ exhibitors.
iTab Portables by Giant iTab, showcasing the ExpoFP interactive floor plans is a new initiative for organisers to place information at attendees’ fingertips, allowing them to plan a route from key locations. With the iTab Portables running ExpoFP's interactive floor plans at the Helpdesk, organisers can now offer real-time information, helping visitors quickly find all the exhibitors they need.
Giant iTabs Portables will provide quick access to the event map, exhibitor information and schedules. Attendees can use them to pull up company details, filter booths by category or check the event schedule.
An interactive map by ExpoFP shows the visitor’s position on the map, so people can search for the booth they need and get the quickest route.
Ross Sudentas, CEO and founder of ExpoFP, says: “The more connections your attendees and exhibitors have, the more likely they are to participate in the event next year. The ultimate goal for event planners is to ensure these connections happen seamlessly, and that’s why wayfinding is a key element that directly impacts attendee satisfaction.”
Mark Jones, founder and CEO of Giant iTab, adds: “Using giant smartphones and portables creates a better user experience. It’s just like having a smartphone in your pocket – every piece of information is at your fingertips. This makes it easier and quicker for attendees to access everything they need, from maps to schedules. It is all about great attendees experience, and we are happy to contribute to it together with ExpoFP.”
“For events of this size, we know how important it is to make it easy to navigate the show, spending less time wandering aimlessly and more time with your prospects and suppliers. We are delighted to be working with Giant iTab and ExpoFP again, providing an interactive, user-friendly experience on both the large screens and smaller portable, to be used at the helpdesk,” says Mark Thomas, marketing director, Aviation Week Network.
