Periodic Reporting for period 1 - ID.Conference (ID.Conference – New event management experience for regulated conferences)

Période du rapport: 2019-02-01 au 2019-07-31

Résumé du contexte et des objectifs généraux du projet

Attendees are often required by law to attend educational conferences in order to keep their licenses. 1 hour means 1 credit point. Without enough credit points they cannot continue with their work. Around the world are more than 1 million conferences, more than 200 million attendees. Based on Forrester research around 50% of all conferences are regulated, that means around 500K regulated events, half of them in EU.
The third-leading cause of death in US suppose to be because of medical mistake (Johns Hopkins study). Cost of medication errors were estimated to be up to 21.8 billions globally in 2010 (WHO). We believe same problem is also in EU.
Unfortunately event organizers and Chambers do not exercise precise control over temporal presence. Or even so, they do not check what candidates have learned.
We are in event business for a long time so we know jams at exiting lectures can be big pain. That’s why we developed IoT solution, UHF RFID tower for seamless passage control
Overall objectives are clear- finalizing technology development and international commercialization. Our goal is by 2027 ID.Conference would become a predominant system used for organization of regulated events in EU.
Our solution has strong impact to society Transparency about gaining credit points by each candidate and knowledge they earn is a must if we want to live in better society! That is our mission to achieve it!

Travail effectué depuis le début du projet jusqu’à la fin de la période considérée dans le rapport et principaux résultats atteints jusqu’à présent

We have checked 5 objectives and their viabilities. Our main goal in the period was to bring IoT solution (UHF RFID tower) to almost 100% accuracy, so Technological viability. We confirmed Market potential (none like ours in EU, only two in USA), business model (confirmed partnership potential in 6 EU countries and in USA), Economic (to Reach TRL9 we do not need much more investment, knowledge and resources ) and Organizational viability (we have strong team and good spirit, we are also recruiting)

Progrès au-delà de l’état des connaissances et impact potentiel prévu (y compris l’impact socio-économique et les conséquences sociétales plus larges du projet jusqu’à présent)

We have done lot od additional tests on RFID UHF, especially with new plastic cover (different materials), to minimize the loses of RF signal.We have tested new housing of electronic and changed it, old one was causing interference with the RF field. In new housing we also hide all cables, and made new bottom leg. Now is lighter what is important because of transport.
In that period we also tested connectivity with EventID platform. We have done several live tests at actual events with at least 800 and up to 1.500 attendees. our IoT solution is almost ready for market. Event owners and organizers are seeking for state of the art, affordable plug & play solution, to meet their own business objectives and we can provide to them. Chambers in Slovenia is already familiar with our solution and we are sure will help to do their work much easier.
With fully operated platform after Phase 2 we will build at least 80 new jobs, with market place module we will encourage local (regional) cooperation with SMEs to provide competitive offering and expand market size.
