How much time do venue organizers spend thinking of ways to create sensational live events for patrons? Probably just as long as it takes their attendees to get through the entry line or pickup their badge - longer than anyone wants to spend in a line. We've cooked up what event organizers are calling one of the smoothest express entry flows in the business, using facial authentication. However, it’s not just making entry lines shorter at stadiums, concerts, and conference check-ins. Here are five use cases for this versatile technology that can enhance guest experiences throughout your venue—and deliver big returns on the investment: https://hubs.ly/Q02K2z0N0 #biometrics #eventtech #stadiumtech #fanexperience

Accreditation Innovation at OLY House Paris 2024! Horao Group and Wicket are delighted to announce their groundbreaking accreditation and access control deployment for the World Olympians Association (WOA) at OLY House Paris 2024 @ Caisse d’Epargne. Horao Group and Wicket have joined forces to deliver a world-class access control system for OLY House, the home of Olympians, during the Paris 2024 Games. Bringing together Horao Group’s registration, accreditation, and physical security products with Wicket’s market-leading facial authentication platform, the teams have delivered a first at the Olympics with Olympians, VIPs, and staff experiencing seamless access by using their face as their credential. Lee Booth, CEO of HGL said, “Partnering with the WOA at OLY House has given us an amazing opportunity to showcase the latest accreditation and registration technology. Biometrics and a bespoke user flow have made it easier and faster to get into a secure space whilst removing the need for QR codes and mobile tickets. We’re looking forward to continuing our relationship with the WOA and Wicket beyond the Olympics… until the next one!” Alastair Partington, CEO of Wicket, said, “Working with the WOA and HGL at the Paris 2024 Games has allowed us to showcase how easy and secure facial authentication can be. Olympians, staff, and VIPs enter the OLY House with just a glance at an iPad, enjoying the same sensational event experience we’ve delivered to major sporting events, conferences, and enterprises around the world.“ Mike Miller, CEO of the WOA, said. “OLY House is a home-from-home for all Olympians, the Olympic Family, International Federations and their guests from which to enjoy the Olympics. Our commitment to innovation led us to work with HGL and Wicket to test groundbreaking technology during the Olympics and showcase it to the wider IOC family. The team have done a fantastic job in a short space of time to bring the next generation of accreditation and access to OLY House”. #Paris2024 #facialauthentication #accreditation

It is great to see our customers using the Wicket facial authentication platform to streamline the fan experience throughout a venue. Facial authentication is revolutionizing the gameday experience at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Fans can now use their face to enter the stadium and purchase concessions, part of their vision of providing the most impactful, value-added experience for their fans. As Karl Pierburg, the SVP and Chief Technology Officer, said, the vision of getting fans from their car to their seat with a beverage and a hot dog safely and securely without taking anything out of their pocket is now available! #fanexperience #stadiumtechnology #facialauthentication
