Open Days present the best opportunity to showcase your institution, with the core goal being to impress students not just with your facilities and courses, but also with your brand. Students want to attend a University that will not only further their abilities but that also resonate with them as individuals.

More and more events are moving towards RFID technology in Australia to automate data collection, access control and transactions. But how would an RFID solution work at a University Open Day?

Your core goal as the organiser of an Open Day is to a) present your university in the best possible light and b) generate as many registrations and expressions of interest from potential future students as possible. By moving from achaic systems based on clunky desktops and clipboards to a wireless, app-based system is a tremendous leap that works as follows:

1. Students register at your event and receive a unique single-use RFID wristband. registration is completed on smartphones, with the RFID wristband encoded 'live' on the spot (2 second process)
2. Stations set-up around your campus (perhaps for each course) allow students to scan their RFID wristband to express interest
3. The metag RFID system sends an email to the student at the end of the day with course information and saves this information in a report for use by the university after the event.

The above is the most basic of functionality. To really impress your visitors, think about social media integration! Your staff take photos of visitors and then scan the wristbands of everyone in the photo - the photo is automatically uploaded to facebook with a message of your choosing i.e. "Having a blast at the AAC University with new friends Bob, Sue, and John". Great promotion for the University as this is seen by all their friends.
