Feature
has introduced an ‘airport
style’ approach to their
software which can send
reminders when visitors are
approaching their allotted
time at an exhibition.
Emma Eveleigh, director,
LiveBuzz, said: “Organisers
can plan the online preregistration
campaign
and at two weeks out, the
registration provider can
launch an airport style
check-in process. This
online visitor check-in will
allow us to plan resources
and systems to safely
manage the expected
numbers within the venue
and help us to plan badging
options. A text and email
invite can be sent to visitors
to log back into their
registration or booking
profile and choose entrance
time slots limited with
capacity settings.
“On site, real-time and
contactless scanning of a
visitor at the entrance, will
trigger the acceptance or
decline to proceed into the
venue. This will be based
on the actual numbers of
people in the hall. We’ll
also have an exit strategy
where we can text visitors
a reminder, if they are
still within the halls, and
approaching their allotted
exit time. This can be
adapted to visitors to stay
over their allotted time if
the venue capacity has not
been reached.”
“We believe we will see a revolution in badges at events or
explained that their
software has been designed
to work without onsite Wi-
Fi providing the visitor has
downloaded their App.
“Organisers can also
choose to run a ‘smart
event’ with digital badges,
and smart devices located
within the venue, and
on stands. The new,
smart technology does
not rely on venue or
telecom infrastructure
but communicates via
Bluetooth.”
Circdata offers a range of
options including printing

physical badges as well as
electronic or digital badges
to reduce visitor contact.
Chris Clipston, MD,
Circdata explained that
after registering for an
event, visitors can save their
badges in Apple Wallet or
Google Pay, and they can
use a QR code or barcode at
the main entrance.
“During an event, physical
controls can be used to
manage people flow, reduce
interaction, reduce potential
virus transmission and
promote social distancing.
Our onsite team will be able
to offer a range of measures
including socially distant
registration terminals,
distance managed queueing,
hygienic, post-event badge
disposal, safety screens
for manned registration
terminals, and event staff
with the appropriate PPE.”
“This also offers a
compelling reason for
exhibitors and sponsors to
maintain their investment
in the event. Virtual
booths can be as effective
as physical ones for lead
capture and future business.
We have developed our
Facial recognition
LiveBuzz registration
software can also use
facial recognition to print a
badge reducing the visitors
need to type their details
into terminals. Eveleigh
