Robot hire for trade shows and expos in NZ
A humanoid robot on your trade show stand pulls foot traffic, starts conversations and gets your stand filmed and shared. We plan appearances around peak visitor hours, script greetings that mention your brand, and a trained operator stays with the robot throughout. Bookings across New Zealand include setup, travel and insurance.
What the robot does at trade shows
Stand magnet
Stops people walking past and brings them onto your stand.
Conversation starter
Greets visitors and hands them over to your sales team.
Product demo partner
Points to, presents or reveals your product on cue.
Scheduled shows
Short performances at set times that build a crowd.
Turn foot traffic into leads
Expo halls are full of stands competing for the same visitors. A robot gives people a reason to stop, and once they're on your stand your team can start the conversation.
We time the robot's sets around the busiest hours and can announce scheduled shows so visitors come back.
Plan the stand
- Keep a clear area of about 3 × 3 metres at the front of the stand
- Have staff ready to talk to the crowd the robot draws
- Put your branding behind the robot so every photo carries it
- Tell us bump-in and bump-out times set by the organiser
