Wearables

Wearable technology has been slated as one of the up and coming technologies to take the world by storm. It can help provide data on attendee behavior, help event planners to see engagement opportunities and identify areas that can be improved. The wearable tech that has had the most exposure in the events industry is the smart badge. The smart badge is embedded with RFID technology, allowing attendees to use their badge to digitally check-in, quickly share contact information by tapping their badge together with another attendee, collect content downloads and other pertinent information through an integrated app.

Pricing

Variable
  • Pricing depends on the type of wearable and the level of functionality provided.

Service Values

  • Itinerary: By providing access to a dashboard, wearables help attendees plan their days, manage their schedules and then revisit their experiences afterward, through photos, contact lists, booths visited and other data about their experiences. That data can also help attendees justify future attendance.

  • Attendance: Event organizers can gain precise info not only on the number of people attending sessions and activities at an event, but who they are: VPs, women aged 18-35, or any other demographic collected at registration.

  • Traffic flow: Combining wearables’ location data with mapping reveals where people are congregating, dwell time and how traffic moves. That offers tremendous value for staffing, booth traffic reporting and resource planning, and staff can respond on the fly to traffic trends.

  • Secure transactions: By registering guests’ payment credentials in advance, event organizers can offer easy payments via wearables at food concessions, stores and other venues, while ensuring that sensitive data remains secure.

  • Wayfinding: Used with beacons, smartwatches can help guests navigate through a conference center or a show floor, increasing their productivity and satisfaction.
