Facial authentication is fast becoming a fixture at major events, streamlining everything from gate entry to point-of-sale. In this session, Jeff Boehm from Wicket will unpack the rapid rise of biometric technology in the events space and what it means for organisers looking to reduce queues and boost per-capita spend.

Jeff will share real-world case studies from the US and the Australian Open, where Wicket's Express Entry system has expanded from a small pilot to general admission. He'll cover how the technology works, current adoption rates across the industry, and the trust and privacy considerations event organisers need to navigate as biometric ticketing goes mainstream.

Don't miss this practical look at where facial authentication is heading, and what it could mean for your next event.
