Smart event technology solutions

A venue explains itself when the screens in it do their job: a wayfinder that answers where in two taps, a touch wall that lets a visitor explore a portfolio at their own pace, a data display that turns live numbers into something a passer-by understands. FAIM designs the content, the interface and the flow, then installs and runs the screens on site.

Built for Saudi Aramco at iktva, EXPEC ARC and the myhome SuperApp launch.

The problems we solve

  • Visitors cannot find the hall, the session or the stand, and your staff become signposts.

    Touchscreen wayfinders on totems, with the same map on phones by QR, answer where in two taps and show the route.

  • A stand full of screens that play a loop nobody watches.

    Touch-native interfaces let visitors pull the content they want. Presence sensors wake the screen when someone approaches.

  • Live numbers on a slide that was exported last week.

    Real-time data displays connect to your source and show the current figure, on a screen designed to be read from three metres away.

  • Six screens, six USB sticks, six different versions of the brand.

    One content system drives every display on the stand, synced, from a single admin panel.

  • The screen app was built for a desktop and feels wrong under a finger.

    Every FAIM interface is designed and tested on the actual screen size, for touch, from the first wireframe.

Why FAIM

  • The content, the interface and the hardware are planned together, so nothing is squeezed onto a screen it was not designed for.
  • We have delivered wayfinding, multiscreen hubs and touch applications at Saudi Aramco events in Dhahran and at iktva.
  • Every interface is bilingual, Arabic and English, with right-to-left layouts.
  • Interaction screen and output screen are separate, so a kiosk can drive the wall behind it.
  • A FAIM technician commissions the screens and stays on site while the event is live.

The technical space

Every FAIM system has the same four parts. What the visitor touches, the FAIM application that runs it, what comes out, and the panel your team controls it from. Data moves along the connectors in both directions, on a local network, with no dependency on venue internet.

How it works, step by step

  1. Floor plan

    We start with the venue plan and the visitor flow: where people arrive, where they get lost, where they stop.

  2. Screen map

    Each screen gets a job, a size, a position and a content type. Nothing is placed because there was space.

  3. Content build

    Maps, portfolio, media and live data feeds are built into one bilingual content system.

  4. Interface design

    Designed and tested on the real screen size for touch, glare and distance.

  5. Install and sync

    Hardware installed, every display synced from one panel, walked through before doors.

  6. Run and measure

    Interaction counts, dwell time and popular content exported at the end of the event.

Interactive wayfinders

A wayfinder is judged by one question: can a visitor find the thing in two taps. We design the map from the venue plan, mark halls, sessions, stands and services, and build a touch interface that shows the route from where the visitor is standing. The same map runs on phones by QR code, so the wayfinder walks with them.

For large programmes the wayfinder also carries the agenda, speaker profiles and exhibitor directory, with search in Arabic and English.

Intuitive touchscreens and interactive walls

A touchscreen works when a visitor understands it in seconds without a guide. We build touch-native interfaces for kiosks, tables and walls that let people explore a portfolio, a project or a product range at their own pace. Multi-user tables let a group explore together. Presence sensors wake the screen as someone approaches and reset it when they leave.

Real-time data displays

Live data belongs on screen only if it is current and readable. We connect displays to your data source, a spreadsheet, an API or a plant system, and design the display to be read from across the stand: one number, one trend, one message at a time, updating as the source does.

Who it is built for

  • Event organisers running conferences and exhibitions where visitors need to find their way.
  • Exhibitors who want a stand that visitors operate rather than watch.
  • Energy, industrial and government bodies presenting live data, programmes and portfolios.
  • Showrooms and visitor centres that need permanent interactive displays with a content panel their staff can update.

Our smart event technology solutions

  • COMPASS and POLARIS: wayfinding and digital navigation across totems, mobile and signage.
  • WALL: interactive video walls that react to touch and presence.
  • NEXUS: multi-user touch tables for exploring a portfolio together.
  • HALO: a drag-to-centre touch hub that makes complex portfolios simple.
  • ROYALE: a premium touchscreen family, including transparent, ultrawide and object-aware screens.
  • MERIDIAN: a pressure-reactive interactive LED floor.
  • CADENCE and CROWN: physical selectors, a sliding screen and a rotary dial, that drive on-screen content.

Features

  • Two-tap wayfinding. Search, select, route. The map is built from your venue plan, not a generic template.
  • Touch-native interfaces. Designed on the real screen size for fingers, glare and viewing distance.
  • Presence awareness. Screens wake as someone approaches and reset when they leave.
  • Multi-user tables. Several visitors exploring the same portfolio at once, each with their own content.
  • Live data connections. Spreadsheets, APIs and plant systems feeding displays that update as the source does.
  • One content panel. Every screen on the stand synced and managed from a single admin interface.
  • Bilingual. Arabic and English with right-to-left layouts throughout.
  • Measurement. Interaction counts, dwell time and most-opened content exported after the event.

08Lead time
Minimum five to ten working days from approval and advance. Interactive stand builds typically run four to six weeks.

On-site support

Screens are installed, aligned, synced and walked through before doors. A FAIM technician stays on site while the event is live to adjust content, fix a feed and keep every display current. At the end of the event we export the interaction data and hand it over.

  • Installation, calibration and content load before the event.
  • Technician on site during the event, with spare hardware for critical screens.
  • Live content changes from the admin panel on request.
  • Interaction report and data export at handover.

Proof from real events

  • Wayfinder at Aramco iktva: touchscreen content and custom wayfinder apps that let visitors find their way around a busy event.
  • myhome SuperApp launch: a custom touch application with a Touch to Explore call to action that pulled visitors from the walkway to the screen.
  • Aramco TeraPOWERS: responsive LED touch walls turning real-time data into stories on screen.

How a FAIM project runs

  1. Conversation. You tell us the event, the venue and what visitors should leave with.
  2. Written scope. A scope with line-item pricing you can adjust: screens, content, installation, days on site.
  3. Build. Content, interface and hardware planned together, in Arabic and English, tested on the real screens.
  4. On site. A member of FAIM commissions and stands by every installation.

The client owns the delivered assets. FAIM retains its own underlying tools, frameworks and reusable systems.

Questions clients ask

Is the software off the shelf?

No. Every interactive application is built for the specific brief, the specific hardware and the specific venue.

Can the wayfinder run on visitors’ phones?

Yes. The same map runs in the phone browser from a QR code, with no app to install.

Can you connect to our live data?

Yes. Spreadsheets, APIs and plant systems. If the source drops, the display holds the last value with a timestamp rather than going blank.

Do you deliver in Arabic?

Yes. Bilingual Arabic and English delivery is standard across our interactive applications.

Who owns the work?

The client owns the delivered assets. FAIM retains its own underlying tools, frameworks and reusable systems.
