The entertainment side of the equation is of particular interest now as contactless identity technologies are poised to help us all get back to sports games, concerts, and performing arts events safely and conveniently after two years of a disruptive pandemic. Recognizing the importance of guest services and hospitality, FindBiometrics recently partnered with the Innovation Institute for Fan Experience (IIFX) and on this special episode of the ID Talk Podcast, our own Director of Digital Media and Events Doug OGorden sat down with IIFX Director and Co-founder Dr. Lou Marciani. They speak about the origin story of IIFX and the overlap between the fan experience industry and biometrics before digging into IIFX’s own May event: FANCENTRIC, which is taking place May 24 in Las Vegas.
