Germantown, MD -- September 19, 2008 --
Convention Strategy, a leading provider of
RFID solutions to the conference and
exposition industries, is pleased to
announce a new client relationship with
Blue Cross
Blue Shield
Association
(BCBS).
Convention Strategy will provide RFID
Attendee Management
services at
the
2008 Fall
Distinctively Blue Conference on October 5-7, 2008.
The Fall Distinctively Blue Conference is an
excellent opportunity for you to meet key
decision-makers and make important contacts
in the Blues. By exhibiting, you can provide
our attendees with an opportunity to preview
your company's product and services. The
participants will consist of Blue Cross and
Blue Shield medical directors, pharmacy
directors, clinical pharmacists, quality
improvement professionals and other staff
integral to a Blue Plan's medical and
pharmacy management.
"We are thrilled to be
providing this solution to Blue Cross Blue
Shield ,” said Scott Ripkin, Directory of
Technology. “The
CS team is excited for the opportunity to
implement Near Field RFID attendee management to
automate session tracking at such a prestigious event.”
Convention
Strategy's RFID Attendee Management system
will be seamless for 2008 attendees.
The automatic
identification method provides a high level
of accuracy and security over traditional
barcode systems and ensures attendees get
the correct credits.
Each attendee
will have a radio frequency identification
(RFID) tag in their badge holder that will
allow BCBS to track participant attendance
in the continuing education classes. As
attendees walk into classrooms,
CS Near Field SmartTouch equipment will record individual
course attendance by each attendee touching
their badges to the SmartTouch.
