What's New at eShow
New technology for faster check-in, smarter badges, and attendee insight you can use.
We've spent this year building tools that help your event run smoother and tell you more about the people in the room. Here's what's new.
Express Entry
Facial credentialing that gets attendees in the door in seconds.
Check-in is your attendee’s first impression, and it’s full of friction — digging out a phone, searching for a confirmation email, waiting at the desk. Express Entry removes it. Attendees who opt in walk up, and their badge prints. No code to find, no line to sort into.
It’s built around consent: enrollment is always 100% opt-in and easy to undo, and the kiosk still handles QR, barcode, and name lookup for everyone else. If you’ve used TSA’s Touchless ID, you already know the experience — step up, get authenticated, keep moving.

A new take on RFID — and the attendee analytics behind it.
For years, RFID has promised event organizers insight and delivered headaches — bulky tags and slower check-in lines, collection issues, and a pile of data no one had time to sift through. eShow's new RFID and NFC solution is built to fix all three.
It starts at check-in. The RFID/NFC chip is built directly into the badge and matched to each attendee as it prints with eShow proprietary technology — no separate scan, no extra step, no slowdown. From there, eShow's infrastructure collects how attendees move through your event: Which sessions held the room and which emptied early. Where crowds gathered on the floor. Which booths drew traffic, whether or not a badge was ever scanned.
Then it all comes together in eShow Kinective, our integrated analytics and insights dashboard. Kinective connects that floor behavior to everything else you already have — registration, sessions, lead retrieval, the app — so the picture is whole instead of scattered. It reads across all of it, surfaces the patterns worth your attention, and suggests what to consider next: where the gaps are between what attendees intended and what they did, and what's worth a closer look before your next event.
You're not staring at a mass of disconnected data trying to figure out what it means. Kinective connects the pieces, brings you the patterns that matter, and points you toward what to do about them.

One badge that carries every ticket an attendee needs.
The Multi-Ticket Badge combines a full-size event credential and a set of perforated, tear-off access tickets in a single printed piece — replacing the separate wristbands and paper tickets usually handed out alongside a badge. It’s built as connected panels of badge stock, perforated so they fold up to the size of a standard badge, with the final panel carrying the tickets. Folded, it clips to a lanyard and wears like any normal credential.
It comes in two formats: a three-stub version for events with up to three gated access points, and a six-stub version for events managing multiple sessions, meals, lounge or VIP access, and other tiered entitlements. Attendees wear one badge throughout the event, and stubs are torn at each entry point — no separate ticket, scanner, or check-in list required for access control. The result is faster entry, streamlined production, and fewer pieces for each attendee to carry and manage. The badge’s rear panels can also carry the schedule, venue maps, WiFi details, and sponsor content, turning each badge into a full-day attendee reference.
