Each year, more than 100,000 comic book, TV, video game, and cosplay fans descend on the Javits Center in Manhattan for one of the world’s largest pop culture conventions. New York Comic Con may be “wonderful pandemonium” if you ask the people from ReedPOP, who oversee the convention, but how did the event organizer manage the gates while keeping fans safe, happy, and eager to come back next year?
For New York Comic Con, that meant implementing an RFID solution built by ShowClix, a full-service event ticketing company. RFID technology enables businesses to easily handle a few important aspects of events:
Access control: Scanning RFID badges helps New York Comic Con keep lines moving quickly, prevent fraudulent tickets, and monitor the venue’s capacity.
Vendor benefits: RFID adds value for conference vendors by allowing them to easily connect and acquire information from customers who visit their booths.
Photo stations: Attendees can choose to instantly post a photo to social media by tapping their badges.
