Kiosk Industry released its IAAPA 2026 self-service preview on November 10, 2026, naming 10 exhibits and six amusement trends ahead of the trade show floor at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, which runs November 17-20. The [FinancialContent Business Page](https://www.financialcontent.com/article/send2press-2026-11-10-kiosk-industry-releases-iaapa-2026-self-service-guide-highlighting-10-exhibits-and-six-amusement-trends) carried the announcement from The Industry Group, the publication's parent.

## What the IAAPA 2026 Preview Covers

The guide is meant to help attractions operators plan their time at IAAPA Expo. It focuses on the everyday transactions where self-service can earn its place: buying admission, reloading game cards, ordering food and collecting photos, and on what each takes to operate.

"The useful question at IAAPA isn't what's new. It's where something fits in your guest journey and what it will take to run it," said Craig Allen Keefner of Kiosk Industry and The Industry Group. "We picked exhibits that let operators ask practical questions about payment integration, accessibility, guest navigation and ongoing support."

The featured exhibits include Semnox at Booth S3783, showing Alpha 32, Alpha 22 and Blaze kiosks running Parafait self-service applications. [Kiosk Innovations](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000mxe1/kiosk-innovations) appears at Booth S3073 with Ideal Software, showing custom kiosks with card and wristband dispensing, and at Booth S3459 with DNP, showing a custom photo-imaging kiosk for automated guest photo sales.

The guide also covers [Embed](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0005zf5/embed), Intercard, Sacoa, Nayax, CenterEdge Software, accesso and Gateway Ticketing Systems. Exhibits were chosen by the editors and are not an official IAAPA ranking.

The six trends the guide lists are hybrid venues that combine several experiences, active play and attractions for all ages, food and beverage as part of the attraction, connected cashless systems and guest transactions, more selective spending on immersive technology, and higher-value prize redemption.

The preview also looks at accessible self-service. Vispero's JAWS for Kiosk adds speech-guided navigation and tactile controls, so blind and low-vision guests can order, buy tickets and pay on their own. The desktop version of JAWS now has AI features such as generated control labels and page summaries. Vispero has not confirmed them for JAWS for Kiosk, but they suggest more adaptable interfaces ahead.

## ARKI Miami Beach Dates and Early-Bird Deadline

After IAAPA, the coverage continues at ARKI, the Automated Retail & Kiosk Innovation Show, December 14-16, 2026, in Miami Beach, Florida. Code INDUSTRY20 gives a registration discount, and early-bird rates end November 13.
