EDITORS NOTES Well this month's issue was always going to be a busy one! What with Integrated Systems Europe in Amsterdam and gaming innovation showcase, ICE London both going on in February, it's been a crazy month to join Kiosk Solutions Magazine as its new editor. And that's without the news of how much the novel Coronavirus has impacted the live events and trade show industry. And all this on the back of dry January! In this edition we cover how the global threat of infection has hit our industry, the potential risks of the kiosk becoming a 'super-spreader' and the disinfection options available. We also look at queue management to ensure we make the best of the waiting time, how the retail store's revenue strategy can capitalise on artificial intelligence and whether digital transformation really is the industrial revolution of our age. In our next issue our industry focus will be on the banking industry, including unattended payment. We will also be covering photo kiosks, specialist printing mediums and kiosk software. If you would like to contribute to the next issue please forward your article or news item to [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you.
