Types of Touch Screens Available for Rent
Three main categories of touch screens are available on the event market. 55" touch monitors — compact, on an elegant stand or VESA mount, ideal for trade show booths with limited floor space. PCAP (capacitive, like a smartphone) technology provides precise multitouch up to 20 touch points. 86" touch monitors — impressive in size, attracting attention from a distance. They work as interactive presentation walls, workshop whiteboards, and welcome screens at conferences. They require a sturdy, reinforced stand due to weight (approx. 65 kg). Touch tables — a horizontal 43–55" screen built into an elegant table enclosure. Natural browsing gesture — attendees stand around and collaboratively explore content. Ideal for product presentations, interactive maps, and configurators. Each type supports Windows or Android with dedicated interactive software.
Touch Screen Rental Pricing in 2026
Touch screen rental prices depend on screen size and rental duration. 55" touch monitor on stand: from 200 PLN/day — the most popular choice for trade shows. Price includes: screen with built-in computer, stand, power cable, and user manual. 86" touch monitor: from 450 PLN/day — for larger booths and conferences. Requires a reinforced stand (included in price) and two people for setup. Touch table: from 350 PLN/day — an elegant solution for premium events. For rentals longer than 3 days, prices decrease: weekly rental is typically 3.5× the daily rate, not 7×. Multi-screen packages (3+ monitors) give an additional 10–15% discount. The price typically doesn't include custom interactive software — that's a separate item from 500 PLN for a simple app to 3,000+ PLN for an advanced product configurator.
Trade Show Applications — Registration, Catalogs, Maps
Touch screens at trade shows serve multiple functions. Attendee registration: a 55" screen with self-service check-in app — the attendee scans a QR code or enters their details, prints their badge. Reduces queues by 70% compared to traditional registration. Product catalogs: an interactive catalog on an 86" screen lets visitors browse products, filter by category, view high-resolution photos, and email selected items to themselves. One screen replaces stacks of printed catalogs. Interactive maps: at large trade shows (MTP Poznan, EXPO XXI) an interactive venue map on a touch screen helps attendees find specific booths, halls, and food courts. Tap a booth — see the exhibitor description, products, and step-by-step navigation. Games and quizzes: engaging apps on touch screens draw visitors to your booth — product quizzes, prize wheels, product configurators. On average, they increase time spent at the booth by 40%.
Touch Screen vs Regular Display — When Do You Need Touch
Not every situation requires a touch screen. A regular LCD monitor (without touch) is sufficient when content is static — slide presentations, looping video, sponsor logos. A touch screen is essential when you want interaction: catalog browsing, form filling, map navigation, decision-making (configurator). Rule of thumb: if the attendee is supposed to 'do' rather than just 'watch' — you need a touch screen. The cost of touch is about 30–50% more than a regular monitor of the same size (e.g., 55" LCD: 140 PLN/day vs 55" touch: 200 PLN/day), but interactivity drastically increases visitor engagement. At industry trade shows with product exhibitions (automotive, IT, construction), touch screens have the highest ROI — visitors spend 2–3× more time at the booth and more frequently leave contact information.
Touch Screens at MTP Poznan and EXPO XXI Warsaw
The Poznan International Fair (MTP) is the largest trade fair center in Poland — during flagship fairs (Budma, ITM, Polagra) exhibitors compete for the attention of thousands of visitors. 86" touch monitors on your booth stand out in the crowd and let you present products without physical samples. MTP provides 230V power at booths, but confirm outlet locations in advance. EXPO XXI in Warsaw is a trade fair and conference center in the Wola district — more modern infrastructure, wide aisles, and good lighting favor touch monitors on freestanding stands. For both locations, we recommend ordering delivery and setup the day before the event — you avoid the stress of opening morning. AVE Events services both venues regularly and knows the specifics of every hall.
Interactive Software — What Can You Display
The touch screen itself is half the success — software is equally important. Off-the-shelf solutions include: interactive presentations (PowerPoint with touch navigation), PDF browsers with zoom and scroll, simple photo catalogs with descriptions. Custom applications built to order include: product configurators (choose color, size, features — see the price), interactive maps with wayfinding, registration systems with badge printing, quizzes and surveys with real-time reporting. Most touch screen providers also offer software development services or partner with software companies. Lead time for custom applications is 2–4 weeks, so plan ahead. Simple content (PDF, presentation, webpage in kiosk mode) you can prepare yourself and load onto the screen on event day.
How to Order Touch Screen Rental — Step by Step
The touch screen rental process is straightforward and consists of a few steps. Step 1: Define your needs — how many screens, what sizes, for how many days, what location. Step 2: Send an inquiry to the provider with your booth or hall plan — it helps determine screen placement. Step 3: Receive a quote with itemized breakdown (equipment, delivery, setup, software). Step 4: Confirm the order at least 2 weeks before the event — allows time for software preparation and equipment reservation. Step 5: Delivery and setup — a technician delivers the screens, installs them on stands, configures the software, and tests. Step 6: After the event — teardown and equipment pickup within the agreed time window. Worth knowing: most providers offer technical support during the event (on-call or on-site technician) for an additional fee from 300 PLN/day.
Touch screens are one of the most effective tools for engaging attendees at trade shows and events. From compact 55" screens for your booth to impressive 86" interactive walls — rental lets you flexibly match equipment to any event without a multi-thousand purchase investment. The key is a thoughtful combination of the right screen size with engaging software.
