Hunter said a lot of attention has been paid by attendees to payment companies and payments at kiosks.
The booth garnering the most attention on day one was the Superstar Deployments feature booth, which show organizers created to highlight significant and large kiosk deployments from 2007.
A number of the kiosks in the Superstar booth were notable deployments recognized by editors of Self-Service World.
"The Superstar Deployments booth, without a shadow of a doubt, is a massive success," Hunter said.
The featured deployments at the booth included:
- NCR EasyPoint Advantage Kiosk

- Coinstar's Coins to Cash
- Fujifilm GetPix
