Humanoid robot in event agency offerings: pitch and support

How to include a humanoid robot in your client pitch, which formats to sell, and what your agency gets from ROBOTio: operators, scenario, transport and quotes within 24 hours.
Position the humanoid in your pitch as a specific programme element with a clear role, not as a technological decoration: greeting guests, introducing the host, the main show, or a booth attraction. Your client is not buying a "robot"—they're buying a moment that solves their objective. Your agency doesn't need to handle the tech: [rental](https://robotio.eu/robot-rental) includes the robot, two ROBOTio operators per robot throughout the event, transport, setup and on-site testing. ## Start with your client's goal, not the robot The most common pitch mistake is a slide titled "Robot at the event" with no context. Your client asks: what will this do for my event? Always name the role and tie it to a measurable outcome. Here are four key scenarios: - **Stop visitors** at a trade show and start conversations your sales team can close. See the full format at [robot at trade fairs](https://robotio.eu/robot-hire-by-event-type). - **One strong moment of the evening** at a gala, Christmas party, or anniversary celebration—see [robot at corporate events](https://robotio.eu/robot-hire-by-event-type). - **Link to the theme and host** at a [conference](https://robotio.eu/robot-hire-by-event-type), where the robot complements an introduction or scripted dialogue. - **The 'first-time' effect** when launching a product or service, where the robot gives the story a visual punch. Pages for each event type describe flow, schedule, and technical requirements. You can attach them to your pitch so the client sees this is not an experiment but a thought-through format. ## How to integrate the robot into your pitch ### 1. One sentence on the benefit "The robot greets guests at the entrance and at 18:30 introduces the host on stage." This concrete sentence works better than vague "wow" moments. The robot speaks in the language your guest uses (the platform supports 13 languages), so it suits international audiences. The client must see what will happen, when, and why. ### 2. References and visuals Clients trust what they've already seen. Good pitch projects include [PX Party 2026 with three robots on one stage](https://robotio.eu/case-study/px-party-2026-tri-humanoidni-roboti) or [Kärcher with a dance performance at a corporate event](https://robotio.eu/case-study/karcher-tanecni-vystoupeni-vnitroblok-praha). For media and social reach, mention the video from the Brilon × Aquatherm trade show (PVA Expo Letňany), which has over 2 million views. Photos and short videos work well too: guests love filming and sharing the robot. ### 3. Model selection - **Unitree G1 (135 cm)**—compact, fits tighter booth spaces, ideal for greetings and photos. Learn more: [Unitree G1 Basic](https://robotio.eu/unitree-g1-basic). - **Unitree H2 (180 cm)**—human height, highly visible from a distance in halls or on stage. - **Robopes Go2**—appeals to children and families, ideal for shopping centres and similar venues. All three models come from [Unitree](https://robotio.eu/brands/unitree) and we own them. We can deploy up to 4 humanoids at a single event. ### 4. Prepare for the 'What about Tesla?' question Clients often ask about well-known brands. ROBOTio does not rent models from other manufacturers like [Tesla](https://robotio.eu/brands/tesla), only provides information about them. The alternative is G1 or H2 from our fleet, which are actually available at events. Our [comparison of Tesla Optimus vs. available robots for rent](https://robotio.eu/tesla-optimus) sums up the arguments for your client. This way, you don't promise anything you can't deliver in the pitch. ## What your agency gets from ROBOTio - **Two operators per robot** for the entire duration. The robot maintains movement and balance independently; the operator controls direction and gestures and monitors the safe space around the robot. - **Scenario and personality**—the robot's character and lines are approved in advance, so both you and the client know what will be said. Nothing surprises you on stage. - **Transport, setup, and on-site testing.** Your agency handles neither shipping crates nor technical preparation. - **Quotes within 24 hours**, including date confirmation. Pricing is based on the specific event and is not listed online. - **Deployment in Czechia, Slovakia, Europe and Dubai.** If your client plans an event abroad, you don't need to find a new supplier. Because of this, you can confidently promise the robot in your pitch. You manage the client relationship and overall concept; we handle the tech and show. ## What to watch for in budget and production Clarify a few practical points in advance that the client will ask about anyway: - **Space:** for the ROBOrevue show, a minimum of 12 × 6 m with a level and stable surface; for other formats we'll determine the space together. - **Power and access:** a socket nearby and access for operators and shipping crates. - **Safety:** clearance from guests and a designated zone around the robot; more in our article on [robot safety among guests](https://robotio.eu/blog/bezpecnost-humanoidniho-robota-mezi-hosty-operatori). - **Operations:** we plan the schedule with breaks, for example battery changes, so the robot is not with guests for just "a moment" but gets a natural rhythm throughout the day. - **Time for approvals:** don't leave the scenario until the last week. The sooner the client sees the text, the fewer changes you'll negotiate close to the event. Best practice is to send the client a one-page overview with your pitch: the robot's role, timings, space needed, and who approves what. This prevents most questions that would otherwise come up during production. ## As an 'upsell': ROBOrevue If the client wants a main event highlight, offer ROBOrevue: a 5-minute show with three humanoid robots and three live dancers. It requires a stage or dedicated space of at least 12 × 6 m. The world premiere was 1 September 2026 in Paris; the Czech premiere was 3 September 2026 in Brno. In your pitch, position it as the evening's highlight, while greeting guests and photo opportunities can be provided by the robot as a supporting element throughout the evening. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does the agency need to provide the robot's technology? No. ROBOTio provides the robot, operators, transport, setup and on-site testing. Your agency prepares the space, a socket and access. ### Can we customize what the robot says? Yes.
