EPSN X Games, held twice a year is the marquee event in Action Sports. The Eventfinity platform has been used to manage a wide variety of functions in support of their events. Starting as a tool focusing mainly on registration and credential production, it has evolved into a true event management system.
‍
Attendee data is collected from customer groups including athletes, media, VIP attendees and staff, using a variety of proven data collection methods. With its very flexible reporting functionality, the collected data is used to manage housing and travel requests for approximately 1,500 staff. Accounts and permissions are set up for various client admins. Approvals and content are sent to the various groups via the flexible email messaging features built into Eventfinity.
‍
At the venue, scanning stations are deployed throughout; staff catering, entrances to high-end hospitality locations and other sensitive areas. The easy to configure scanners are used to track access permissions, meal counts, catering guarantees, billbacks and general usage. All scan data is available in real time.
‍
All credentials are designed and printed through the badging templating features built into Eventfinity. No third-party printing software is required. In addition, barcodes/QR codes on the credential are also utilized to track the distribution of equipment.

Eventfinity handled the registration, credentialing, and check-in for the event, as well as collected data for different groups including participants, staff, media, heads of state, production, and security. For attendees to register, a Magic Link was sent through an email that logged the participant into the system automatically, which allowed them to easily fill out and submit their information into the registration website. Staff members were given a public link that was sent out to anyone on the staff list to register, and all other data was imported by admin.
‍
For a high profile event, security is of the utmost importance, so Eventfinity’s robust attendee management system played a key role in managing access control. Data from the registration website was used to create credentials that limited access to certain areas beyond check-in, depending on attendee type beyond check-in.
‍
Post event, Eventfinity was able to provide data on registration, check-in and session attendance, which, in previous years, has proved to be useful in the planning of consequent events.

The MLB Food Fest is a two-day promotional event, hosted by Major League Baseball, and produced in conjunction with the event planning group MKG. Baseball fans and foodies are invited to purchase food tickets and sample ballpark classics from around the country. Eventfinity provided MLB with a check-in and ticketing system that moved attendees efficiently through the visitor experience, and captured revealing post-event data.
‍
To check in, attendees could go to one of six iPad stations to scan their purchased ticket barcodes. During the most popular time slot of the entire weekend, 73 attendees were checked-in within five minutes. Once checked-in, fans received a color coded RFID wristband that controlled their food and drink credits. Attendees used these wristbands to easily trade their credits for iconic baseball delicacies, by simply scanning their wristbands at food stations.  

Eventfinity successfully provided a comprehensive system that could organize and manage a broad and diverse set of data. This system was able to quickly move large numbers of people through a two-step registration process, capture data on each of these people for future use, and accurately record the use of visitor credits as they moved through the space. They were able to supply the client with easy to use equipment and software and a reliable local network. Finally, post-event, the client was supplied with detailed data that would help drive improvements and modifications for future events.
