Lifting the Veil on Event WiFi & the Future of 5G
Description:
The venue is so cool. The field for the festival is magic. But the internet connectivity sucks!
In the world of concerts, festivals, sports, and experiential events, having fast and reliable WiFi is a must-have. It powers ticketing, cashless payment, food & beverage, live streaming, merch sales, brand activations, and more. Promoters have gotten burned, paying top dollar only to have internet fail in the middle of their event.
We'll lift the veil on the old event WiFi model, presenting how new WiFi technology is bringing the cost down while improving reliability. Case studies will reveal how smart planning and budgeting is done. Attendees will also get a glimpse into the future of 5G, and how new forms of mobile connectivity will impact the live events industry in the coming years.
