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.

At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, in February, attendees could use their N.F.C.-enabled devices to access event information and download materials at kiosks, redeem food coupons at catering outlets, and participate in a treasure hunt. Organizers estimate 51,000 N.F.C. transactions were made during the four-day event. In addition, users could create an N.F.C. photo badge within the event’s mobile app, which expedited entry to convention facilities. Sponsor Incipio offered its Cashwrap N.F.C.-enabled cases for free so iPhone users also could participate.
