JD Events Goes Global with KioskCom Self Service Expo.

The Largest and Longest Running Conference and Tradeshow of Its Kind Expands Into the European, Middle Eastern and Asian Markets

TRUMBULL, Conn. -- JD Events, a leading North American tradeshow and event production company, announces its plan to expand the KioskCom Self Service Expo (KioskCom)

KioskCom licensed its brand to event and tradeshow companies located in the country of each international show.

KioskCom is the defining global event for interactive self-service business solutions, focusing on the benefits of using kiosks, digital signage and other technologies that allow companies to implement comprehensive programs that will increase their reach to customers through digital media. KioskCom Self Service Expo events attract a highly qualified audience in the areas of retail, finance, hospitality, tourism, health care, government, gaming/entertainment, hospitals, restaurants, QSRs, financial services, ticketing, photo and other industries.

Named three times by Tradeshow Week as one of the 50 Fastest Growing Trade Shows in North America, KioskCom has continued its reputation as the most critical, strategic, largest and longest running conference and tradeshow for kiosks and self-service media and technology, worldwide. This event has maintained more than a decade of success by delivering critical content and strategies to ensure deployment success - directly from end-user companies that utilize these technologies within their organizations.

"Companies are interested in offering customer service that is efficient and of the highest quality to the customer, and at the same time is cost effective to the business; kiosks and self-service technology meet those standards," said Joel Davis, JD Events' President & CEO. "Working with local tradeshow companies allows us to expand into the international arena of self-service technology and at the same time develop our show around the cultural diversity and business practices of those markets."

"Supporting the advancements in technology, especially self-service technology, is one of the most important steps any customer-service oriented company can take to ensure business success," said Phil Hunter, Event Director of KioskCom Europe. "I'm very positive that our partnership with JD Events to use the KioskCom brand will allow us to further educate the European market on generating additional revenues and improving the customer experience, which are at the forefront of all organization strategies."
