About Robby Black
As Director of Festival Solutions for Vendini, Robby prides himself on his boots-on-the-ground approach and the “first-in, last-out” mentality and work ethic he brings to festival planning and execution.

For over 10 years, Robby has been a major innovator behind the scenes of the music festival industry. Having worked on the cutting edge of the RFID and access control movement, Robby is the secret weapon for improving logistical aspects and fan experience.

Info & Stats « Radio frequency identification – RFID – is a generic
term for technologies that use radio waves, typically with a microchip connected to an antennae, to automatically identify people or objects
« Data can be captured for authentication and analysis and devices can be read-only or read-write
« In 2014 the RFID market was $8.89 billion, up from $7.77 billion – it continues to grow
![Page 31: RFID: So much more than a ticket](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/58851d051a28abf7538b45cd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Technical Advantages of RFID « Doesn’t require line of sight. RFID can be read in
range of a reader and is more durable than barcodes printed on paper, doesn’t wrinkle, no glare
« Uses the low-end of the electromagnetic spectrum – similar to a car radio – 125 kHz or 134 kHz – very safe
![Page 32: RFID: So much more than a ticket](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042723/58851d051a28abf7538b45cd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
