Energy efficiency in temporary setups: the future of event technology in 2026
The increasing demand for sustainable technologies has led to significant advances in energy efficiency in recent years, particularly in temporary event setups. Whether at trade fairs, conferences or corporate events, the challenge of integrating energy-efficient solutions has become a key aspect of event planning and execution. In 2026, energy-saving displays, efficient mini PCs, sophisticated standby concepts and local operating solutions will play a crucial role in minimizing the ecological footprint of such events.
Energy-saving displays at the heart of the presentations
The use of low-power displays, especially OLED and QLED technologies, has redefined the standard for visual displays in temporary setups in 2026. These displays not only offer excellent image quality, but also higher energy efficiency compared to their predecessors. The innovative models of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S series in particular offer powerful, energy-efficient solutions for modern event presentations.
- OLED displays: They do not require a backlight as each individual diode is self-illuminating. This significantly reduces energy consumption.
- QLED displays: The use of quantum dot technology improves brightness and color rendering while reducing energy consumption compared to conventional LED displays.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus and Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra are also particularly energy-efficient tablets that are ideal for mobile applications at events.
Energy-efficient mini PCs as control centers
Modern temporary event setups are increasingly relying on mini PCs due to their compact size and energy efficiency. These devices are powerful enough to handle demanding tasks, but consume significantly less power than conventional desktop computers.
| PC type | Energy consumption (watts) | Recommendation for events |
|---|---|---|
| Standard desktop PC | 200-300 | Rather unsuitable due to high consumption |
| Laptop | 50-100 | Good for mobile requirements, such as with an HP Spectre x360 2-in-1 laptop |
| Mini PC | 10-65 | Ideal combination of performance and efficiency |
Standby concepts: Effective energy saving without disruption
Efficient standby concepts are essential to save energy during an event without compromising the functionality of devices. In 2026, many devices will optimize this mode by using intelligent sensors to decide when to switch to standby mode.
Some important features of modern standby concepts are:
- Automatic activation: Devices intelligently switch to standby mode when they are not in use.
- Advanced sensor technology: sensors detect environmental movements and adjust the energy mode accordingly.
- Fast reactivation: Seamless transition back to operating mode to ensure user-friendliness.
Devices such as the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 are a good example of modern standby technology that helps to minimize energy losses during active event sessions.
Local operation and energy saving on site
For temporary setups, the efficient operation of the technology on site is crucial. Local energy sources and optimized operating times are often used here. Solar panels and battery solutions are common technologies here, not only to save electricity but also to operate more independently of the local infrastructure.
Further advantages are:
- Sustainability: Using renewable energy sources significantly reduces the CO2 footprint of an event.
- Cost reduction: Cheaper in the long term due to lower energy requirements and elimination of external power sources.
- Flexibility: Easier installation and operation at almost any location.
The role of technology partners in implementation
Technology partners that offer specialized services and products for temporary setups are able to respond to the growing demand for energy-efficient solutions. Their product offerings range from powerful tablets and mini PCs to complete integrated solutions.
As an interested customer of a B2B rental company, it can be worthwhile to find out more about such providers and take advantage of the wide range of technological possibilities to support sustainably efficient event planning.
