What our customers are saying
Why choose us?
Quick install
Wirepas mesh beacons are battery-powered and long-life. They can be installed with self-adhesive that comes included. Cover 25,000 m2 in just 4 hours, requiring only a single gateway.
Whole site coverage
Many WiFi solutions will only cover part of the building. Our quick to install hardware easily extends wherever it's needed.
Low TCO
The battery powered, low cost mesh beacons required have a significantly lower TCO than competing solutions such as UWB or WiFi.
Accuracy
Accurate to a few meters, more than good enough for most tracking requirements.
The solution transformed how we use data — delivering comprehensive reports to sponsors and internal stakeholders that drive genuinely data-driven decisions. We now use Crowd Connected's technology at every multi-track event we run.

Operations Director, Informa Connect
Most event organisers rely on badge scanning, RFID taps, or manual check-ins to track session attendance. These methods create friction for attendees, require onsite staff, and often produce incomplete data - particularly for sessions where delegates drift in and out.
Crowd Connected’s attendee tracking solution works differently. Small, battery-powered Bluetooth beacons installed throughout your venue detect wearable tags (attached to lanyards or badges) and report accurate attendance and dwell time data in real time. There’s nothing for delegates to scan, tap, or do. They simply attend the event as normal.
The result: complete session-level attendance data covering who was in which session, when they arrived, how long they stayed, and where they went next. All available in the Crowd Connected platform during the event, with CSV exports for post-event reporting and sponsor fulfilment.
Frequently asked questions
How does attendee tracking work without RFID or badge scanning?
Each attendee wears a small Bluetooth tag (typically clipped to their lanyard). Battery-powered mesh beacons installed around the venue pick up signals from these tags and triangulate each attendee’s position. The data flows to the Crowd Connected platform in real time - no scanning stations, no staffing, no queues.
What is the most accurate way to track event attendance?
Passive Bluetooth tracking is more accurate than badge scanning because it captures continuous presence data, not just a single scan at entry. You get dwell time (how long someone actually stayed), not just whether they walked through the door. Accuracy is typically within a few metres - more than enough to distinguish between adjacent sessions.
How quickly can the system be installed?
A typical installation covering 25,000 m² takes around four hours. The beacons are battery-powered with included self-adhesive, so there’s no cabling or venue infrastructure required. You need only a single gateway (one power socket and one ethernet connection) per floor.
How much does event attendee tracking cost?
Pricing is based on event size and duration. We offer affordable packages for events of all sizes, from 200-person conferences to 30,000+ delegate exhibitions. View our pricing page for details.
Does this work with our existing registration system?
Yes. Crowd Connected integrates with all major registration platforms. Tags can be pre-assigned to registrants or distributed at check-in. Read more about registration integration.
