    Phone charging stations for conferences and trade shows in NYC and NJ

    CityCharge rents portable phone charging stations for conferences and trade shows in NYC and NJ. Attendees carry a charger between sessions instead of leaving their phone at a charging desk.

    Why conferences need phone charging

    Attendees use their phones for the schedule, badges, tickets, messages, notes and photos. A dead phone mid-day means a missed session or a lost contact. A charging desk fixes that only if people are willing to leave their phone behind.

    With CityCharge, attendees take a power bank from a station, keep it with them as they move between sessions, and return it to any CityCharge station in the city network. Charging is free for attendees at events.

    Venue power and access

    Each station runs off a standard outlet. When you pick station spots, ask the venue which outlets are available near registration, session room entrances, the expo floor and lounges.

    Also ask the venue about load-in times, loading dock or freight elevator rules, and any approvals the venue or show organizer requires before equipment arrives. Share those details with your quote request so CityCharge can plan delivery and setup around them.

    Floor plan and fleet sizing

    CityCharge sizes the fleet to your attendance and floor plan, so people do not cross the venue with a dying phone. Send the expected attendance, the number of rooms and floors, and where people gather between sessions.

    Stations at a few well-used points usually work better than one station in a corner. A floor plan or a list of key areas helps CityCharge recommend placement.

    Setup, branding and support

    CityCharge delivers and installs each station in about 30 minutes, and handles maintenance and guest support for the full run. Your staff does not touch the equipment.

    Station screens can run event or sponsor creative, and branded wraps are available as an add on, so a sponsor can sit inside the experience attendees are already using.

    Returns at the end of the event

    Attendees return power banks to any CityCharge station. Include your event end time and any teardown window from the venue in your quote request so CityCharge can plan the close of the event with you.

    How is conference charging priced?

    Event charging is quoted for the event, based on guest capacity and the planned setup. Quotes depend on guest capacity, duration, fleet size, branding, delivery, setup and support. Send the date, venue, attendance and branding needs so CityCharge can size the fleet and prepare a quote.
