 
Traditionally, a two-sided banner stand requires twice the fabric and twice the graphics-housing canisters. But with the Duet double-sided banner stand from Skyline Exhibits, you get a double exposure out of a single stand. With the Duet’s unique banner, exhibitors can print different images and text on each side of the fabric. Available in 34- and 48-inch widths, the Duet weighs about 40 percent less than a traditional double-sided stand with two graphics and housing canisters. Plus, the single fabric panel makes setting up the Duet a song.

PRMconnect’s E-Literature online information system means you never have to hand out paper literature again. Instead, booth visitors scan their badges and view a touchscreen kiosk or a laptop computer in your booth, where they can scroll through your literature library. Once they find the collateral they want, they simply click on it, and an e-mail is sent to their inbox with a link to a browser that displays the requested document. There, in addition to the digital lit, each page features a document feedback window that lets attendees enter comments, post questions, or request additional information. Plus, you can track who has visited the Web site and what they accessed.
