Tablet rental for exhibitions and conferences

Connection is key when using tablets and iPads for events, which is why we also support integration with existing hardware and networks. Need devices linked to onsite printers, synced to a shared Wi-Fi network, or connected to a point of sale system? We set it up before your event begins so there’s nothing to worry about on the day.

Tablets are a practical, lightweight choice that work just as well in a boardroom as on a busy exhibition floor.

We’ve supported technology conferences, corporate meetings, school programmes and exhibition stands across the UK and internationally. Whatever the scale or setting, our team provides the same level of care and technical support to ensure your hire experience is seamless.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★

We used Bircherley Rentals to hire some Poster Boards for a corporate event, to display scientific posters. The event was in central London. From start to finish they were super easy to work with. The poster boards looked great. Would highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about tablet and iPad hire

What tablet models do you stock for hire?

We stock a wide range of devices to suit different event requirements and budgets. Our iPad range includes current and recent generation models across multiple screen sizes, from the standard iPad through to the iPad Pro, ideal where display quality and processing power matter, such as interactive demonstrations or high resolution presentations. On the Android side, we carry devices from leading manufacturers including Samsung, covering both compact and large format tablets depending on your needs. All devices are kept up to date with the latest compatible operating systems and are checked, cleaned and fully charged before every hire. If you prefer a specific model or need a particular screen size for a custom enclosure or stand mount, let us know when you enquire and we’ll confirm availability. For larger orders, we’d recommend discussing model requirements early to ensure we can allocate the right volume of a consistent device type across your entire hire.

What types of events are tablets commonly hired for?

Tablets are one of the most versatile pieces of technology available for hire, which is why they’re used across such a wide variety of events and settings. At conferences and exhibitions, they’re frequently used for delegate registration, digital lead capture on stands, and interactive product demonstrations. In corporate meeting environments, they provide a clean, portable solution for presentations, note taking and real time collaboration. Schools and training providers use hired tablets for short term educational programmes, assessments and workshops where investing in permanent devices isn’t practical. Retail and hospitality events use them for point of sale transactions, queue management and customer feedback. We’ve also supplied tablets for awards ceremonies, product launches, sporting events and outdoor festivals, anywhere that requires reliable, mobile technology. If you have an unusual use case or need advice on whether tablets are the right fit for your event, our team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit to a hire.

Is there a minimum or maximum number of tablets I can hire?

There’s no fixed minimum, whether you need two devices for a small internal meeting or two hundred for a large-scale exhibition, we can accommodate the order. For very small hires, our process is straightforward, get in touch, confirm the model and dates, and we’ll take care of the rest. For larger orders, a bit more lead time helps us ensure device consistency, meaning all units are the same model and running identical configurations, which matters when you’re managing a fleet across a busy event floor. There’s no upper ceiling on order size either; we’ve fulfilled large volume hires for major conferences and trade shows and have the logistics in place to handle them efficiently. If you’re unsure how many devices you’ll need, our team is happy to help you work through the numbers based on your expected footfall, the nature of the activity and how many concurrent users you’re planning for.

What happens if a device is damaged during the hire period?

We understand that accidents can happen in busy event environments, and our hire agreements are structured with that in mind. Each hire includes a clear outline of what is covered and what constitutes fair wear and tear versus accidental damage, so there are no surprises at the end of your rental. For events where a higher level of cover is needed, particularly large public facing occasions or outdoor settings, we can discuss additional protection options at the point of booking. If a device is damaged or stops working during your hire, contact our support team straight away. Depending on the nature of the fault and your location, we’ll either walk you through a remote fix or arrange a replacement device as quickly as possible. We’d always encourage clients to review the hire agreement carefully before signing and to flag any concerns about cover with our team beforehand, we’d rather sort it in advance than deal with a dispute after the event.
