Attendee Engagment | Attendee Networking | Attendee Tracking

Loopd

Loopd was founded in 2013 in Silicon Valley. We made a way for physical actions to control virtual presence. We were frustrated by outdated networking systems. We were inspired by wearable technology. Two-way wearable beacon allows the user to virtually exchange contact information with other event attendees, and records details, such as time and location, for each interaction. The device also offers event organizers information on each attendee’s conference journey.
