Welcome to the October edition of the KIS newsletter. We recently finished attending a couple of trade shows including Digital Retailing in San Francisco, HR Tech in Chicago and the Networld Kiosk Show in Boston. Great shows all of them.
For those who were unable to attend and/or would like revisit the Boston show we have a slideshow with lots of pictures of the Kiosk Show.
