Badge Policy

For the purposes of identification, safety and security, it is required for everyone in attendance to wear their registration badge at all times whilst on site at this event.

Badges have a bar code which via the registration system links to the demographic data of all attendees. The bar code can be used within the exhibition for enquiry purposes.

Exhibitors , the Organisers and other associates may use bar code readers and scanning software on hand-held devices and other computerised systems to record information for a number of purposes.

By allowing your bar code to be scanned by any such device; you are giving consent to pass over your contact details as provided when you registered for the event. Allowing your badge to be scanned is akin to handing over a business card.

Badges will be scanned on entering the exhibition purely for the purposes of recording attendance levels. Your contact details will not be used as a result of being scanned at this point.

Your badge will also be scanned should you choose to enter any conference or seminar area within the event. By allowing your badge to be scanned, you are also agreeing that your personal data may be used by the organisers of this event and any third party hosting provider acting at the event on the organisers behalf.

Uses will include but not be limited to delivering the event, to keep you updated of event developments and for analysing visitor attendance (eg attending conference sessions, exhibition presentations, etc). The purpose of this is to assess the popularity of features and sessions to improve the event experience for future visitors.
