London-based Giant iTab provides touchscreen devices designed to look like large smartphones. Attendees can use them to access event content, such as exhibitor lists; floor plans; and seminar, sponsor, and speaker information. At the Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona, attendees were able to download the conference’s mobile app by touching their iOS or Android mobile phones to the N.F.C.-enabled “Tap for the App” area located on each giant smartphone. The software’s interface allows users to look, tap, and swipe like those on personal smartphones and helps attendees forge relationships with brands (since content comes from the exhibitors and event organizers), and conveniently navigate an event.
