Conventions

Convention centers and event halls are usually huge places teeming with people. Can't find the rest of your crowd? Hit 'em up via two-way radio! Push-to-talk walkie-talkie communication makes it easy for everyone to coordinate where to meet for lunch and which panel to checkout next. Naturally, the ability to quickly find and connect with convention staff in all the melee is an absolute must.

You'll go crazy trying to do it on foot or by word of mouth ala, "Did you see Harriet"? No. Just no.

Do everyone a favor - especially your event center guests - and clip a two-way radio to the belts of all of your convention staff. Push-to-talk and the chairs are set up, the extension cords get delivered to the proper room, the badges are found... you know how it goes. There are a million in one things to coordinate for a large convention or event. You'll love the convenience and efficiency walkie-talkies to bring to yours.

Your reputation as an event planner will love it too. Put on a star event or convention with few if any glitches and people notice. Out of all those hundreds or thousands of attendees, someone is looking for an event planner for their next convention, so look alive! Little says professional event planner con runner than confidence and a walkie-talkie to help get things done.

The event staff will appreciate the safety net as well. Knowing where you can find an answer to the 3,000 questions they'll get asked each day takes a load off and makes events and conventions the fun they're intended to be. Oh and on the subject of safety! The ability to call for help and dispatch security or emergency responders to an urgent situation becomes a boon to both guests and staff. Two-way radios in an emergency can also help keep the lawyers at bay and that's probably a good thing.
