As we move into 2026, iPads maintain status as an essential tool for modern event planning. For corporate events, iPads event rentals are used for registration, presentations and content delivery. For Festivals, iPads are commonly paired with Square devices when using ticketing, merchandising and “point of sale” apps.

Event Registration:   Event registration apps are plentiful for iPads.  The apps enable staff to quickly check in attendees at registration desks.  iPads allow staff to go mobile and quickly check in attendees while they are waiting in line, helping to improving the customer experience satisfaction.

Post Event Leads:  Event registration apps offer capabilities to download attendee information into CRM software, offering data mining capabilities for sales lead lists.

Self Service Kiosks:  iPads are staged for attendee self-service to access event schedules, breakout sessions and exhibitor rosters. iPads can be staged with table-top or floor stands for walk up kiosk convenience.

Presentations:  iPads are used for product demos, videos and business planning content.  Content is developed in either Powerpoint, PDF or videos files.

Attendee Engagement:  Apps such as audience response polling, surveys, social media contest apps help increase attendee engagement and participation.

Point of Sale Apps:  Pairing iPads with square devices and other POS apps, creates a “point of sale” terminal.  The terminals enable sales staff to process “point of sale” transactions through credit card and chip readers or through tap to pay features.  QR codes and scanner accessories are additional POS option add ons.

Things to consider:  Owning an inventory of iPads requires large capital expenditures, space and resources required for model refresh cycles, secured storage, maintenance, event device prep process, logistical and shipping and return ship process.

A simple solution:  iPad event rentals offer a cost-effective service solution for event planners, providing both hardware, service and support.

iPad event rental services help avoid investments in large capital expenditures, staffing resources required for model refresh cycles, maintenance, battery charging, iOS updates, app installs, storage and ship handling.

Current Model Releases:  Rental companies offering iPad event rental services can help save time and money by offering current release iPad models. Avoid costly and time-consuming model refresh cycles.

Event Preparation:  iPad rental services include device inspection, iOS install updates, battery charging, ready for shipping process.

Shipping and Receiving:  iPad rental services will include roundtrip shipping.  iPads will be packaged into iPad shipping bins, custom slotted foam and include prepaid return shipping labels.  iPad rental services offer fast delivery direct to venue (or preferred ship address) and simple return process, with included prepaid return ship labels

Custom iPad Shipping Bins:  Ship bins with custom slotted foam offer customers ease of unpackaging, device deployment and handling during a very busy event preparation day.

Return shipping process:  Just repackage the iPads and accessories.  Use the included return ship package to reseal the shipping bins and apply the prepaid return ship labels.

Event Ready Service:  iPad rental services offer an optional event ready service.  The event ready service offers the convenience to have apps, content and other custom device settings preconfigured so the ipads arrive “power on ready”.  The service can also preconfigure the ipads with custom wallpapers, logos and wifi login credentials.

Finally, and probably most important as you get a powerful, business-grade convertible with staying power as the Surface Pro now enters its 11^th generation with constant enhancements.  And because the SP 7+ is a hybrid it provides a diverse device which decreased the need to carry both a table and laptop.  Equally important is the cost savings.
