CIAA Fan Fest
Access control and data capture solutions built for large-scale, open-access fan events.
CIAA Fan Fest is a central part of the CIAA Basketball Tournament Week, hosted at the Baltimore Convention Center. This free, two-day event draws thousands for music, games, sponsor activations, and family-focused programming.
Free events often lack detailed attendee data, limiting insight for organizers and sponsors. CIAA needed a way to register 30,000 guests, manage on-site access, and gather demographic data without requiring ticket sales or limiting accessibility.
We deployed 15 NTR-H handhelds and utilized wrstREG to register and deliver passes to upwards of 30,000 attendees each year.
Our registration and scanning platform managed attendee flow and collected detailed audience insights. Organizers gained a clearer picture of who attended, and sponsors received actionable data to shape future engagement strategies.
