No Identifiers. No tags. No 21+ Tyveks. Chaos ensues and your event is cancelled. A 12 year walks past, beer in hand. Your boss's boss is calling you. In the distance, sirens. And where did those bees come from?

The events industry can be described as monstrous. A beast. An animal. A multi-headed dog. A gaggle of geese… or even A Pizza Pie. Which would make us the leg of a beast. A head of the dog. A goose of the gaggle… or A Slice of that Pie. With so many variables and risks involved in event planning, event security credentials are as essential to events as cheese is to pizza.

With a little planning, you can wrangle all the cogs and whistles AND get that elf on it’s shelf just in time to finish this year with a bang, and enter 2023 like the stress-free, organized, all-your-ducks-in-a-row professional event-wrangler you are.

Are your halls decked and the bells jingled? Dot your i’s and cross your t’s with useful RFID applications for the multiple legs that are your snowflake of an event. ‘Tis the season to engage your attendees like you never have before. Does the term “RFID Technology” have you sitting there like a Rudolph in headlights? Grab some ‘nog; we’ll take the reigns from here.

Most of us are familiar with gmail and google calendar, as well as maps. We know and love google docs. We all have 30+ tabs open on google Chrome. And we’re all 80% full of our free storage on our 3rd google drive account. But what if I told you that google has so many more apps that are perfect for B2B businesses?

After years in the events space, we know one of the biggest threats to security starts with counterfeit tickets and making sure only the people who are supposed to be inside are inside. Interestingly, it’s as easy as taking advantage of your unique branding, creativity, and a little bit of technology.
