VDA's Award-Winning Charging Valet Lights Up The Show Floor

Rebecca Pappas
June 30, 2015

For event and meeting planners looking to increase social engagement, it's essential that attendees have fully charged mobile devices at their fingertips. However, no one wants to stand sentry waiting for a smartphone to power up, which is why the award-winning Charging Valet from VDA Productions has become an event staple. 



Frequently, conference attendees miss out on some aspect of the total conference experience to maintain connectivity through their fully charged device. While most conferences provide self-service locations for attendees to plug in their devices for charging, this valet concept enables users to attend breakout sessions or continue browsing the show floor without having to stand next to their device waiting for it to charge. Updated with a sleeker, more sophisticated look featuring translucent polypropylene construction to enhance the programmable lighting package and an updated graphics package, the Charging Valet from VDA Productions is a "must-have amenity," providing the ultimate in event sponsorship and corporate branding opportunities.



Capable of fitting into any footprint, the Charging Valet allows for a better customer experience by providing the flexibility to not have to choose between continuous conference engagement and device charging.



“The Charging Valet is a game-changer for the event industry,” said Meghan Welborn, senior director of marketing at VDA Productions. “The success is a result of the intersection of functionality, practicality, and clear sponsorship opportunity, and is a testament to the incredible creativity and ingenuity of the VDA design team. You will see the Charging Valet all over the country at conferences and events of all types. It’s an incredible way to maximize attendee engagement with your brand and increase social media impressions and your event’s digital reach. By providing the Charging Valet as a convenient service, attendees looking to be social and share information are going to have a heightened experience and feel like the organizers of the event really care about them, and that’s going to increase brand loyalty. It’s a simple formula for success.”
