Taste of Toronto

At IMG’s inaugural Taste of Toronto festival in July, attendees used R.F.I.D.-enabled cards to purchase food and beverages from vendors at the event. The cards were provided by IntelliPay, a division of Intellitix. Guests could go online before the event to load money onto the card, and they could also add funds at stations throughout the festival. At the end of the festival, balances remaining on cards were donated to Second Harvest Food Rescue. Each individual’s online account also provided a history of all food and beverage items purchased.

Based in Boston, SpeechBooth rents out lightweight video booths that can be delivered to conferences, trade shows, award ceremonies, and other types of events. The app-based video messaging recording unit does not need an attendant, and it allows guests to record messages in HD video. All recorded messages are professionally edited, then saved to an online user account.
