Do the Robot
Drive traffic to your exhibit or wow attendees at your corporate event with Skeletonics Inc.'s Arrive robot suit, now available for rent or purchase in the United States from A-Lex International Marketing LLC. Standing 9 feet tall and weighing just 88 pounds, Arrive units are fabricated from sturdy fiber-reinforced plastic and can be branded with custom logos and graphics. "Mechatronic" technology, i.e., a synergistic combination of electronic and mechanical components, enables wearers to make smooth, precise movements and handle lightweight objects with ease. For an even more engaging – yet safe – experience, the Arrive can be modified to allow attendees to operate the suit solely from the waist up.

Exhibitors in pipe-and-drape 10-by-10s are always on the lookout for displays that take up minimal space, can be set up quickly, and are simple to transport. EZ Backdrops check all three boxes while also being easy on the budget. These custom-printed fabric displays weigh roughly 5 pounds and fit into a slim tote bag that can be tossed into checked or carry-on luggage. Bungee toggles at each corner of the backdrop fit over pipe-and-drape assemblies, resulting in a slim yet impactful back wall that maximizes usable space in the footprint. Custom graphics are printed on washable, wrinkle-resistant fabric, and complementing table runners are also available.
