Today, interactive and digital exhibition booths have become standard in many large events. Specifically, touch screens are a popular way to attract attendees to the event. Even better, these types of visual images are perfect for attracting social media posts.

Finally, as exhibitions continue to grow in popularity, so will the technology that allows exhibitors to communicate and engage with their audiences.
