Convention Centers · Events & Conferences

Know What Your Attendees Think. While They're Still There.

Convention centers and event organizers rely on post-event surveys that arrive days after attendees have forgotten the details, and already made their rebooking decisions. Infotap captures attendee feedback immediately after Wi-Fi authentication, presented as a voluntary post-login survey to an attendee who is already connected, in real time, while the event is still live on the floor.

The Problem

Post-Event Surveys Miss the Moment That Actually Matters

The Post-Event Survey Problem

Late, low-rate, and lost in the inbox.

Post-event surveys land in inboxes days after the show floor closes, when attendees have returned home, moved on to the next event, and lost the emotional context of their experience. Response rates are low. Recollection is fuzzy. Feedback is too late to act on. And the insights that could have saved a struggling session or flagged a catering failure arrive in a spreadsheet three weeks later.

The Wi-Fi Moment Advantage

The highest-value 28 seconds of the entire event.

Every attendee connects to venue Wi-Fi within minutes of arriving at registration. That 28-second window immediately after authentication, as attendees make their way to their first session, while the first impression is still fresh, is the highest-value feedback moment of the entire event. Infotap captures it automatically as a voluntary post-login survey, without staff, without clipboards, and without a single post-event email.

How It Works

From Badge Scan to Attendee Insight in Three Steps

Step 01

Attendee Registers and Connects to Venue Wi-Fi

The attendee's authentication is handled by the venue's existing captive portal, unchanged. After authentication and access is granted, the portal forwards the connected attendee to Infotap as the post-login destination. The attendee is already online when the survey appears. No new hardware, no app required.

Step 02

Survey Completed in 28 Seconds

Attendees answer 3 to 5 gamified questions on their phone while waiting in registration, walking to their first session, or standing at the first coffee station. The format is fast and frictionless. Median completion time: 28 seconds.

Step 03

Real-Time Insight to Venue Operations and Event Leadership

Every response streams to the Infotap dashboard instantly. Venue operators monitor facility performance. Event organizers track session and hall satisfaction. AI generates an executive report automatically at the close of each event day.

Platform Proof · Captive Audience Deployments

Proven Where Thousands Pass Through Every Day

Infotap was built for high-throughput captive audience environments, places where large numbers of people move through a single point of entry, connect to Wi-Fi, and have a brief moment to share their experience. CVG International Airport is our flagship deployment, an environment that processes millions of people annually with the same data capture challenge as a major convention center.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions We Hear From Venues and Organizers

Whether you manage the venue or produce the event, we have answers. Talk to a specialist if you don't see yours here.

How does Infotap work at a convention center?

Infotap integrates with the convention center's existing guest Wi-Fi network. When an attendee connects, typically within minutes of registering, and authenticates, after the captive portal grants Wi-Fi access, it forwards the connected attendee to a short, branded Infotap survey as the post-login destination. The attendee is already connected when the survey appears: participation is voluntary and no condition is attached to internet access. They answer 3 to 5 questions in approximately 28 seconds. Every response streams to the Infotap dashboard in real time, giving both venue operators and event organizers live visibility into attendee sentiment from the first hour of the event.

Can both the convention center and the event organizer access the data?

Yes. Infotap supports role-based dashboard access, allowing convention center operators and event organizers to each see the data most relevant to their role. Venue operators can monitor facility satisfaction, F&B performance, and Wi-Fi experience across the event calendar. Event organizers can track session satisfaction, attendee NPS, and sponsor performance for their specific event. Both receive AI-generated executive reports tailored to their respective reporting needs.

Why are post-event surveys not enough for convention feedback?

Post-event surveys typically achieve less than 10% response rates for convention and conference events, and the feedback that does arrive is delayed by days, after rebooking decisions have already been made, after sponsor commitments have lapsed, and after staff have moved on to the next event. Infotap captures attendee feedback in real time while the event is live, enabling same-day course corrections, immediate sponsor insights, and end-of-day executive reports while memory is fresh.

Can Infotap capture feedback throughout a multi-day event, not just on arrival?

Yes. Infotap captures feedback at multiple points across a multi-day event. The primary capture window is immediately after Wi-Fi authentication on arrival each day, producing the highest volume of voluntary responses from already-connected attendees. QR code touchpoints placed at session rooms, exhibit halls, F&B areas, and networking spaces capture targeted in-event feedback. Attendees who reconnect to Wi-Fi at the end of each day receive a brief daily pulse survey, capturing day-level NPS before memory fades overnight.

How can convention centers use Infotap data to win more event bookings?

Convention centers use Infotap to offer event organizers something most competing venues cannot: real-time attendee intelligence included as part of the venue package. By providing organizers with detailed satisfaction data, NPS scores, and AI-generated event reports, venues differentiate their offering beyond square footage and catering. Satisfaction data from previous events at the venue can be shared during the sales process, and positive outcomes support rebooking conversations with documented evidence of attendee experience quality.

Can Infotap measure sponsor and exhibitor ROI for event organizers?

Yes. Infotap surveys can include questions measuring sponsor brand awareness, exhibitor booth interest, and session sponsor recall, all captured from actual attendees during the event. This gives event organizers data-backed ROI metrics to share with sponsors and exhibitors at the close of the show, rather than relying on estimated foot traffic or post-event email surveys. Sponsor and exhibitor performance data can be segmented by attendee type and event day for detailed reporting.

Does Infotap require any new technology infrastructure at the venue?

No. Infotap requires only a captive portal redirect URL from the venue's existing Wi-Fi infrastructure: the same mechanism used to display a terms-of-service page as part of the authentication flow, configured to forward the authenticated attendee to Infotap as the post-login destination. This is standard on virtually all managed convention center Wi-Fi systems. Infotap is compatible with Cisco Meraki, Aruba / HPE, Ruckus, Ubiquiti, and Cambium networks. No new hardware, no software installation, and no app required from attendees. Most venues are fully deployed within one business day of signing.
