Attendees rate nTAG highly

Late in 2003, nTAGs were used at gatherings held by General Electric and the University of Virginia Business School and at the Pop!Tech and Digital ID World conferences. Based on exit polls conducted at those events, nTAG users said they would like to use nTAGs again for a number of reasons. For example, at one of these events, the evaluation survey responses indicated that:

70% of attendees said that with the nTAGs, they made better connections with other people at the event 95% said they preferred reading the event agenda on their nTAG 67% said they preferred using the nTAGs to swap business card information 84% said nTAGs made the event more fun 91% said they were eager to use the nTAGs again At another of these events, nTAGs were used for audience polling. 91% of attendees said that nTAGs were a highly effective way to conduct audience surveys.

How nTAGs work

The attendee arrives at registration and is given their nTAG. The event host selects, in advance, which applications will be used with the nTAGs. These applications can be pre-loaded onto the tag to facilitate immediate use. The attendee's personal information will be retrieved when the nTAG is brought to a nearby kiosk. The attendee enters (name/6 digit id number) and confirms the personal information, which he/she had provided through a pre-event web form. The attendee places the nTAG (where) that automatically loads it with the personal information that will be the core of networking facilitation. The process can take as little as 30 seconds if there are no data changes or additions. Attendees can update/change their information at anytime at one of the event kiosks.
