We will provide insights into how we overcome the photo management challenges of large-scale sporting events and how technology becomes a critical factor in these processes.
Challenges and Opportunities in Large-Scale Events
Large-scale events present both great opportunities and significant challenges for organizers. Events such as festivals, marathons or fairs can host thousands, sometimes even tens of thousands, of participants. Successful execution of these events requires perfect planning, coordination and use of technology.
Planning and Coordination Challenges
Meeting the needs of each exhibitor, exhibitor, and audience involves a variety of logistical arrangements and safety measures. This requires complex management skills, especially when hundreds or thousands of people meet in the same place at the same time.
Technology and Communication
Real-time information flow and communication during the event are factors that directly affect attendee satisfaction and event safety. However, in events of this scale, it is not always easy to get information to the right people quickly.
Traditional Recognition Systems
Traditional chest number recognition systems may have security vulnerabilities, such as accessing photos through someone else’s number. In addition, these methods that do not comply with GDPR create risks in keeping participant data secure.
Opportunities
Photier offers modern, secure methods such as activity codes and facial recognition and accessory recognition to address these security concerns. So it can turn these challenges into great opportunities.
For example, facial recognition technology and automatic tagging simplify photo management processes, providing attendees with a personalized experience while providing event owners with a data security guarantee for their attendees.
Additionally, instant photo sharing increases the interaction and visibility of the event on social media, thus reaching a wider audience.
Technological Advantages of Photier

Photier in Marathon Events: Istanbul from the marathon An Example
