Robot hire for conferences in NZ
A humanoid robot at a New Zealand conference can greet delegates at registration, draw crowds to the expo hall and walk on for a keynote. Multi-day bookings are common, and a trained operator stays with the robot throughout. Setup, travel and insurance are included in a fixed quote.
What the robot does at conferences
Registration greeter
Welcomes delegates each morning while they collect their lanyards.
Keynote walk-on
Opens a session or introduces a speaker on technology, AI or the future of work.
Expo hall draw
Brings foot traffic to the sponsor area between sessions.
Conference dinner
Greets guests and poses for photos at the gala dinner.
Built around the conference programme
We plan the robot's appearances around your programme: registration, morning tea, lunch and the breaks when delegates fill the foyer. Between sets the robot waits out of sight, so it stays a highlight rather than background.
For multi-day conferences, the robot can appear each morning and at the conference dinner, and the per-day travel share drops.
What the venue needs
A flat, dry floor area of about 3 × 3 metres, a standard power point and a nearby spot to wait between sets. Most New Zealand convention centres and hotel conference rooms work well, and we send our public liability certificate to venues that ask for one.
