People Counting for Convention Centers
Exhibitors pay for footfall. Without independent counts, you are asking them to trust a registration export.
Registration scans capture who signed up, not who walked the floor, and never capture how visitors distributed across halls and sessions. V-Count counts visitors at hall entrances, session rooms and stand thresholds, giving organisers auditable attendance evidence to sell space and giving exhibitors proof of the traffic they bought.
What venue and event organisers measure with V-Count
- Auditable hall attendance — Independent entry counts per hall and per day for exhibitor reporting and rate-card justification.
- Unique visitor flow between halls — Directional counts across internal thresholds to show how traffic distributes and where it stalls.
- Session and keynote room occupancy — Live counts against room capacity, with alerts before a session room overfills.
- Stand and zone traffic — Passing traffic versus stand entries so premium pitch pricing reflects measured footfall.
- Peak arrival and registration load — Arrivals by minute at each entrance to size registration desks and cloakroom cover.
- Year-on-year event comparison — Consistent measurement across editions so growth claims rest on the same methodology.
How V-Count measures convention centers
Every V-Count deployment pairs an on-sensor AI counter with the BoostBI cloud platform. The sensor does the counting and discards the image; BoostBI turns the counts into occupancy, dwell, capture rate and zone heatmaps you can act on.
- Nano AI — the flagship 3D active stereo vision sensor, up to 99% accuracy regardless of lighting, shadow or crowding. Counts bidirectionally and excludes staff.
- Nano Prime — wide-area indoor sensor for single-entrance sites, 98% accuracy in typical lighting.
- Nano Outdoor — IP65 rated for open-air installation, rated from −30°C to +60°C.
- BoostBI — dashboards, benchmarking across sites, scheduled reports, real-time threshold alerts, plus an open REST API and webhooks for POS, CRM, BI and BMS integration.
Privacy by design
V-Count sensors process 3D depth data on the device itself. No facial features are captured, no identifiable image is stored, and nothing personal is transmitted — only anonymous counts. V-Count is ISO 27001 certified and the architecture is GDPR compliant by design, which matters in a B2B event environment, where badge tracking of named delegates raises consent problems.
Installation and rollout
Each sensor mounts overhead on a single PoE cable and self-calibrates. A typical unit is installed in about 20 minutes with no need to close the space. Certified partners handle installation across 130+ countries.
Why operators choose V-Count
- Trusted by 600+ companies across 130+ countries
- Over 25 billion people counted to date
- ISO 27001 certified, privacy-first architecture
- People counting, demographics and staff exclusion in a single sensor
- Hardware built in-house — V-Count is the manufacturer, not a reseller
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from badge scanning?
Badge scanning records registrations and stand interactions for those who volunteer a scan. V-Count counts every person crossing a threshold anonymously, so hall attendance is complete rather than opt-in.
Can we deploy for a single event rather than permanently?
Yes. V-Count is the only manufacturer offering people counting hardware on a rental model for events, with plug-and-play deployment and return after the event.
How quickly can sensors be installed in a hall?
Each unit mounts overhead on one PoE cable and self-calibrates in around 20 minutes, so a hall can be fitted during build-up.
Are delegates personally identified?
No. Only anonymous 3D depth data is processed on the sensor. No images or personal data are captured, stored or transmitted.
Can we report figures to exhibitors directly?
Yes. BoostBI produces scheduled reports and exports per hall and zone, and exposes a REST API for organiser portals.
Will it work across very wide hall entrances?
Yes. Nano Prime covers wide areas for single large thresholds, and multiple Nano AI units can be tiled across very broad entrances.
