Most of us forget to print our entry badge, and there’s nothing more annoying than having to queue for a replacement. When thousands of people are arriving at once, it quickly becomes a headache for everyone — especially the event organiser.

RainFocus and Wicket clearly feel the same, so they've developed a solution; facial authentication - and it looks awesome 🙌🏻

VFairs and Sesamers talk start-ups 🎙️

Ben Costantini, CEO of Sesamers, was interviewed by Muhammad Younas, CEO of vFAIRS in the week.

Sesamers has a clever proposition. They use tech to help start-ups decide which events are worth exhibiting at, and then make it easier with flexible payment options. And it’s not just good for start-ups. Event organisers win too, thanks to AI that highlights which up-and-coming companies have the most exhibiting potential.

A standout section looks at what start-up villages can offer, as well as the hurdles of fitting start-ups into the hosted buyer concept.

A well structured and thought provoking interview. Nice work chaps 🚀

The team at JET has launched Embedded Registrations. Event organisers can now capture registrations directly in their website, on their own domain, in their own branding via simple 3rd party code.

Keeping visitors on the official event website is crucial, driving confidence and ultimately increased conversion - which is what it's all about. We've adopted the same approach at HotelMap and it really does work 🏆
