A power bank station for conferences: a drained attendee is a departing attendee

Why conference batteries die by noon

An attendee uses the phone nonstop: the event app and agenda, scanning codes at stands, swapping LinkedIn details, photographing slides, messaging the team and sometimes streaming part of a talk. Meanwhile hundreds of people in one hall congest the network and the device raises transmit power.

What happens when the phone dies

• The attendee cannot show a digital badge or scan a stand — a direct hit to exhibitors' leads
• They skip surveys and in-app voting
• They hunt for sockets in corridors instead of sitting in sessions
• Sometimes they simply leave early

What a station does at a conference

It runs itself: the attendee taps a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay and takes a power bank with built-in Lightning, USB-C and Micro-USB. No app and no signup, which matters especially for international attendees without a local number.

Where to place stations

• At the entrance and registration — everyone passes
• In the exhibition area — where attendees stop and exhibitors scan
• In the coffee area — where breaks actually happen

What the organiser or venue provides

A socket and a small footprint per station. No construction and no staff to run the service.

Terms

• Free installation for the venue or organiser
• 15–25% commission on station revenue
• Maintenance, swaps and fault handling on us
• The venue is not liable if an attendee fails to return a unit; the hardware is insured by Dead Batt

What the attendee pays

15₪ for the first hour, capped at 30₪ per day, plus a 70₪ deposit released after return at any station — including on the way home after the event.

Summary

At a conference, battery is infrastructure, not a convenience. Stations keep attendees in the room, leads with the exhibitors and the event working to the end.
