1 Poken in Exhibitions and Mass Traffic Environments The 360 Event Platform

2 Poken in Exhibitions and Mass Traffic Environments Delivering digital content, collecting qualified data on visitor behavior, boosting results: Poken works on a multi-year basis with several of the world s largest trade show organisers. Poken offers products and end-to-end content delivery solutions that are not only adapted to corporate events and congresses, but also to mass traffic environments such as large exhibitions, festivals, and shopping malls. Poken is, fundamentally, a data collection & data analysis business : While projecting consumer appeal to boost uptake in events, Poken s core business is delivering concrete measurable results to event & trade-show organisers. Poken s «Real-Time Touchpoint» technology uses leading-edge NFC, ibeacon and 3G/4G mobile connectivity to offer targeted content delivery to visitors, and detailed analytics to show organisers. How it Works: Rolling it Out to Exhibitors Trade show exhibitors load their marketing documents or any other relevant, compelling content, into one or multiple Real-Time Touchpoints. This is done entirely remotely, through the show s existing web-based exhibitor tools, or through embedding of Poken s Exhibitor Manager web tool into the show s website. Poken s «Real-Time Touchpoint» and «Super Touchpoint» sensors are completely autonomous, and easily placed by the show organiser or by exhibitors themselves, anywhere in their booth or elsewhere around the venue. Visitors, who are equipped with a smart badge, collect any content that is relevant to them, by simply placing their badge onto the readers. The Touchpoints, connected in real-time to Poken s powerful cloud-based Content Management back-end through a tiny, embedded cellular modem, trigger an with the aggregated, relevant industry content, sent directly to the visitor s inbox. In exchange, the exhibitor receives the visitor s digital business card, as well as additional useful analytics which they can access online, any time.

3 Monitoring: Organiser Dashboard The show organisers dashboard offers a complete, detailed view of all the digital handshakes and content exchanges that happen in their show. Poken s solution not only provides an enhanced digital show experience to all participants, but also allows events to «go green», reducing the paper waste of left-over or discarded flyers, catalogs, brochures and other paper marketing documents. Every «digital handshake» is measured, docume qualified, and used for future retargeting and to improve the post-event relationships built between exhibitors and visitors. Digital Showbag: Going Green Providing an advanced digital showbag and other leading data-driven capabilities, Poken is the world s leading solution provider for Trade Shows seeking to implement sustainable CSR initiatives, while benefiting from advanced analytics made possible by the «Big Data» they collect digitally.
