RFID wristbands, steak, and pickle shots - Austin, we salute you!

Last week, we embarked on our first North American festival exhibition, attending the The International Music & Festival Conference or IMFCON in Austin, Texas. What started out with a hellish 24-hours in transit including lost luggage and 'airport issues' (don't ask), went on to become a successful trip, full of networking, interesting people and...pickle shots!

The Association of Independent Music's annual soiree, The AIM Awards returns this month to celebrate the achievements and contributions of some of the industry's most influential and prolific labels, artists and industry professionals.

And, to show our support for such a great company, we've donated a set of custom printed laminate passes and lanyards to identify press during the event.

We love working with companies who strive to support the music industry, after all, without the music there'd be no fans, without fans, no festivals, without festivals... you see what I'm getting at.

With just over a week until the Showman's Show, ID&C HQ is gearing up for our most comprehensive exhibit yet.

On October 17th & 18th, we'll be showcasing some of the products that took the event industry by storm this summer, from our RFID wristbands used at Wakestock and Isle of Wight to our Smartlock® fabric wristbands and laminate passes used at V Festival and Bestival.

We'll also have our Head of RFID at hand to answer your questions and we'll be demonstrating how easy it is to use our new custom wristband designer.

Visit us at stand 31 in the Exhibition Hall to find out more.

ID&C collaborated with leading RFID technology provider Intellitix and Sparklestreet events to power twelve private parties during the London 2012 Games as part of "Adidas Underground".

ID&C supplied RFID wristbands and RFID-enabled cards, which with Intellitix's platform, helped create an online audience of 2 million when ticket holders linked their wristbands to their Facebook profiles. Using custom-designed reader units around the venue, guests could tap their RFID wristbands to automate Facebook check-ins and even post photos directly to their time line. The event also featured a contact-less access control system and saw ID&C's RFID cards used to buy drinks from a cashless bar.

Leading event magazine, Exhibition News talks to ID&C's Steve Daly as they take a look at the potential of RFID technology in the wider event space.

Most of us have been subject to a prolonged wait to enter a festival with our paper ticket, or queued for what seems an age to buy drinks at an outdoor stall. Well, new technology based on personalised wristbands is looking to change all that and improve our live experience.

Leading wristband and security pass provider, ID&C has shared its expertise in access control with up and coming event promoters as part of IQ Magazine's 'Virtual Festival'.

Speaking to a selection of the event industry's leading companies, the feature covered everything event organisers should consider when embarking on a new festival. Safety, ticketing, staging and promotion were some of the topics covered, with ID&C giving their advice on access control.

Back in April, we launched  a competition to give one lucky festival the chance to win £2000 worth of event wristbands. (see story here)

I’m very pleased to say, we’ve announced our winner. Drum roll please...
