People Matters TechHR
People Matters TechHR India '26 at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi, is Asia's largest HR and work-tech conference. Its Innovation Hub had to show the future of work and learning to the thousands of HR leaders attending over two days, on 6 and 7 August 2026.

Hitachi
Hitachi's HR Convention in New Delhi needed its Tokyo leadership in the room, not on a screen. Flying an executive in for a single address meant losing a week to travel for twenty minutes on stage.

Can AI hosts greet delegates at Manchester Central?
Yes. A life-size AI host can answer delegates at registration or between sessions, from the agenda and documents you approve. At TechHR India '26, AI avatars and a multi-avatar concierge answered more than 250 senior HR leaders for two days and won Gold at the Infini-T Awards 2026.
What is the day rate in Manchester?
The same as anywhere in the UK: £2,000 a day for the 7-foot HoloBox911 and £1,500 for the 6-foot, unit only. Content, delivery from Wokingham at actual cost and VAT are added in your quote, plus an operator at actual cost if you need one.
When would it arrive in Manchester?
The day after you confirm, driven up from Wokingham by our UK crew, and set up in about 2 hours. Manchester Central's loading bays and goods lift are booked through the organiser, so send your dates early and we secure the slot.
Is it a good fit for a MediaCityUK office or studio?
Yes. In a media or tech lobby a life-size host can welcome visitors and tell their host they have arrived, and a studio can stage a launch with a product turning in 3D. For a permanent spot, buying takes about 30 days from order, or a lease runs as a project.
Can a keynote speaker appear live in Manchester?
Yes. A speaker anywhere appears life-size and takes questions, as Hitachi's Tokyo executive did, with a delay of about 0.4 seconds. Their end needs a 100 Mbps uplink, and we run a primary and a backup line. A speaker in the UK can also be filmed through our production partners.
Have you run a HoloBox911 in Manchester?
Not in Manchester yet. The formats are proven elsewhere: TechHR India '26's award-winning AI hosts, Hitachi's live keynote from Tokyo and Race Eco Chain's AI receptionist, which greets visitors by name. Our UK case studies page has the details and PDFs to share with your team.
Which languages can it speak to visitors?
More than 10, including English, Welsh, Polish, Urdu, Punjabi, French and German, besides Hindi, Marathi and Bengali. Answers come only from your approved documents, and for UK clients the AI's data is hosted on UK servers. Tell us your visitors' languages and we confirm them in the quote.
What should the venue provide?
Three things: one earthed socket, a level floor and an indoor spot away from sunlight. The socket should be single-phase AC 100 to 240 V, as the 7-foot draws 700 W at full load. Keep it clear of glass roofs, and add internet only for a live speaker or a cloud AI host.
Where can we see a HoloBox before hiring?
At our Winnersh Triangle experience centre in Wokingham, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, with parking, by appointment. From Manchester, a live demo by Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Webex is often easier. Call +44 7343 066743 or use the form below.
Is there a minimum hire period?
Yes, 1 day. Multi-day and weekly rates are agreed for your booking rather than published, and the deposit, payment and cancellation terms are set out in your quote. VAT is added under UK rules, and you are invoiced by our UK company.
