About This Site

What this site is

itn-international.com is an independent publication about event technology: registration, smart badges, RFID and NFC, lead retrieval, mobile marketing and the data that all of them produce. We also cover the casino and betting world where it overlaps with events, such as gaming expos, RFID chips and player cards.

Independent, and not affiliated

This domain once belonged to ITN International, Inc., an event-technology company. This website has no connection with that company or its successors, and we do not sell its products or represent it in any way. We are also unconnected with ITN, the British news producer, or any other business that uses those initials. The site restores the general look and subject of the old pages as a publication; its articles are newly written.

What we do not do

We do not sell event services, rent scanners or take registrations, and we cannot help with your badge for any particular show. If you have a question about a specific event, please ask its organiser.

How we work

Our guiding values are the plain ones. Explain the technology in ordinary language. Check the facts, and hedge when the facts are uncertain. Prefer practical advice to hype. If you spot an error, the contact page is the place to tell us, and we will correct it.

Case studies and examples

The scenarios in our case studies are composites, written to show how problems are typically solved. They do not describe any particular client or event. Figures in articles are given for illustration unless a source is named.
