National Badge Plan

5/1/2009 - The Exhibition Services & Contractors Association (ESCA) will soon launch the Worker Identification System (WIS) which will be used by convention facilities to identify tradeshow labor when they are onsite.

The system will help alleviate the number of badges required by tradeshow labor, who often work in many facilities throughout the country and have had to go through the badging system at each venue and end up with multiple badges. WIS will provide one badge to be used at all facilities that are enrolled in the program. Atlanta, Houston and Dallas will be the first cities to roll out the new system, but all major facilities are expected to follow.

The badges will contain a magnetic strip, a barcode and a passive Radio Frequency Identification chip and facilities will be able to establish specific contractor entrances where the badges can be scanned. More.
