Giant iTab Secures New Partners to Expand International Reach
July 23, 2019
London-based Giant iTab — an event technology company that provides giant touchscreens, tablets and smartphones designed to enhance digital engagement at trade shows and events — is expanding its reach internationally with new partners in Cyprus, Greece, Japan, Scandinavia and South Africa.
These new partnerships encompass a range of AV rental companies, creative agencies and technology providers (including LedApp in Greece and Cyprus, Bright Giants in South Africa, Garnet in Japan and Multinet across Scandinavia) that are now offering Giant iTab Smartphones for their clients in their respective countries.
As a result of these partnerships, the Giant iTab network now covers four continents and 12 countries, according to company officials.
“Many of our clients have an international portfolio of events, ranging from corporate meeting planners with a global schedule to commercial organizations running exhibitions and conferences across multiple regions, yet the requirement is always the same,” said Mark Jones, founder and CEO of Giant iTab.
He continued, “Our customers demand local service at the highest quality, irrespective of where the event may be taking place. Working with these trusted and valued partners means we can deploy our technology across Australasia, Europe, North America, Canada, Africa and Asia, offering greater value to our clients.”
According to Giant iTab officials, the company’s international partnership program has taken off in recent months as demand for the product has skyrocketed.
“Our customers had been asking for a large-format solution to display native apps for several years, and all of the solutions we could find (or hack together) either didn’t work, weren’t reliable or had deal-breaking limitations. Then we got introduced to the team at Giant iTab,” said Philip Hamstra, vice president of Strategic Initiatives for Meeting Tomorrow, an AV hire company and long-term U.S. partner of Giant iTab.
“Giant iTab’s product mix has been one of our most successful new product lines of the past few years, and we only see growth as mobile platforms become the new standard for computing.”

MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.
Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.
Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.
The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant. In 2023, these efforts supported over 3,500 jobs across more than 30 states, contributed over $214 million in income for diverse-owned businesses and generated more than $62 million in tax revenue. The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.
MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift. Since 2017, the program has successfully graduated 105 diverse-owned businesses and is on track to achieve its goal of 150 graduates by 2025.
MGM Resorts’ commitment to supplier diversity not only enhances its business operations but also plays a crucial role in uplifting communities and fostering economic development. This approach reinforces the idea that diversity is a powerful driver of innovation and resilience, benefiting both the company and the wider community.
