Halfway around the world, the Shanghai, China, Convention Center soon will play host to a gathering of kiosk companies and users. The 2008 China International Self-Service & Kiosk Show, scheduled for June 26–28, is in its fifth year.
Among those attending the show this year will be David Drain, executive director of the Self-Service & Kiosk Association (SSKA), who says the show will provide an opportunity for the association to broaden its outreach and strengthen its relationship with its international partners.
Both Drain and Bob Fincher, executive vice president of NetWorld Alliance, will make a presentation at the show to focus on the future of the digital signage industry.
There will be plenty of attendees, according to Chris Lian, one of the event’s organizers. Last year there were a total of 83 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions that participated in the show. In addition, 8,641 visitors from 46 countries attended the exhibition, according to the show’s Web site.
Lian said the show covers the whole gamut of self-service including digital signage, bill payment kiosks, POS printers and touchscreens.

Some of the topics and presenters at the summit include:

With the success of the show during the past four years, Lian said he expects this show to be better than ever.
"This is a not-to-be-missed chance to understand the present status and future trends of the Chinese self-service and kiosk industry," Lian said.
