Poken Connect
Don’t worry if you forget your business cards at this year’s event. The Business Travel Show has teamed up with Poken Connect, a smart networking device. When you arrive at Olympia, you’ll receive a hand-shaped USB attached to your lanyard that lets you digitally swap business card details with suppliers, speakers, buyers and exhibitors simply by tapping the hands together and giving each other a ‘high-four’. Contact details are automatically downloaded so when you leave the show you can simply insert Poken into a USB port on your computer and retrieve your data. You can also use Poken Connect to tap touchpoints to collect information.
