Beamian – Digital You, a product of the company Mobility Now, installed in LISPOLIS, is one of the nominees in the category Best Use of Technology of the Iberian Festival Awards 2018, an event dedicated to promote and celebrate all professionals responsible for the growth and improvement of festival that awards music festivals, cultural festivals, media partners, music artists and companies that have served or become active at festivals throughout the year.
This solution has been developing and expanding its platform over the past year, applying the innovative use of NFC technology as a solution to events in such varied contexts as professional and employment fairs, wine tastings, congresses and, as can be deduced through this appointment, festivals.
Beamian, which operates on the basis of electronic identifiers for organizers and participants and a platform where all interactions are recorded, was responsible for the system of check-in and control of access and entrances during the 2017 Being Gathering festival.
Thanks to the use of NFC bracelets, the check-in process was facilitated and made faster – a QR code entry was presented and associated with the beamian bracelet for identification at the event, which would then be read by the organization’s reader to finalize the check-in and later access the various venues of the event.
The NFC wristbands, associated to the service platform, allowed simple and effective control of access to the various areas of the event, as well as entries in workshops, masterclasses, lectures, and many other types of activities. The organization also had access to a mobile app that allowed them to access information both online and offline, thus further enhancing system security. The Being Gathering festival – supported by this innovative platform – was a success, now recognized by this exciting appointment.
This will be the third edition of the Iberian Festival Awards which, with a total of 281 applications received from Portugal and Spain, but also from Brazil, Cuba, Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Angola, this year offers a greater coverage, covering not only the Portuguese and Spanish markets as well as the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking context. Among the 22 categories in the competition are Best Major Festival, Best Touristic Promotion, Best Line-Up, or Best Communication.
It will be possible to vote in the categories decided by the public until January 17, 2018, and the categories decided by the jury will be analyzed in January. To vote, just follow this link.
