RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a technology that uses radio waves to transmit key information over short distances. This information describes the identity, location, and/or condition of physical objects and transmits the information to a receiving device, commonly referred to as a reader.

In the Expo/Trade show genre, RFID is used to reduce temp staff costs that would usually be need to track conference attendees entering and exiting a seminar or show floor. Exgenex, a pioneer in this field, has even applied RFID to Lead Retrieval. Their patent pending system with advanced algorithms, produce qualified leads for exhibitors without the need to scan or swipe the attendees badges.

One thing is certain that no matter how you are currently providing registration, lead retrieval, or point of sale to your attendees, in the near future you will be using RFID.
