The 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) climate summit presented unprecedented challenges in attendee management, with over 85,000 participants from 197 countries requiring seamless access control across multiple venues. InfoEventz's RFID solutions provided the technological backbone that made this massive event run smoothly.
COP28's scale required solutions that could:
We deployed 3,500 Zebra RFID readers across 12 venues, paired with custom-designed EVOLIS badge printers that could produce 5,000 durable badges per day.
Reduced entry wait times by 72%, eliminated counterfeit credentials, and provided organizers with real-time attendance analytics.
The system processed over 2.1 million badge scans during the two-week event with 99.98% uptime. Our mobile registration stations could deploy anywhere on-site to handle last-minute attendee changes, printing fully encoded RFID badges in under 30 seconds.
Our onsite command center monitored all RFID checkpoints in real-time
COP28 reinforced several best practices for large-scale RFID deployments:
Whether you're planning a conference for 500 or a festival for 50,000, our RFID and event technology solutions can streamline your operations and enhance attendee experience.
