CIL 2025 Wrap-Up With Meescan

Exhibitor Spotlight

Meescan is a self-checkout solution with kiosks and a smartphone app that’s simple for libraries to install and effortless for patrons to use. It allows librarians to get on with what they do best: organizing the library’s database, reaching out to their local community, helping people track down information, and engaging with patrons.

Three Questions

Let’s hear from Robyn Petrik, manager of business development at Meescan, who attended the Computers in Libraries conference as an exhibitor.

Q: What’s your favorite thing about the Computers in Libraries conference?

A: It was Meescan’s first time exhibiting at Computers in Libraries, and we really enjoyed it! We found the leads and conversations to be of high quality and did notice that general technical knowledge was higher than average—without getting too technical or into the weeds. 

Q: What do you think are the best ways for exhibitors to draw attendees to their booths?

A: Unlike large conferences, participants weren’t as drawn in by swag. Instead, having a quality product and service, effective communication leading up to the conference, and positive word of mouth is what drove participants to our booth. 

Q: What’s a takeaway from this year’s conference you’d like to share? 

A: We heard a lot of buzz about AI from attendees after one of the keynotes. It’s a great reminder that even as an exhibitor, it can be valuable to take the time to attend some of the keynotes and sessions. There’s so much good information being shared!
