What does whiskey, futbol and business card all have in common?
Near Field Communication (NFC)!
The NFC Forum participated in the MarTech East Conference from September 16th to September 18th at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, MA.
The NFC Forum booth was staffed by three member companies including Paul Davies, business development manager, NXP; Ian Clough, director of growth, Blue Bite and Bertrand Brault, director of marketing, Business Development, Paragon ID. NXP showcased an NFC-enabled Scottish Whiskey bottle, Blue Bite demonstrated an NFC-enabled Adidas soccer ball and Nike soccer jersey and Paragon ID exhibited an NFC-enabled business card. Thank you Paul, Ian and Bertrand for your help at the conference!
The MarTech East Conference was a great opportunity for education and awareness with respect to the power of NFC technology in the brand and retail segments.
Many of the larger consumer brands and technology brands that attended seemed interested in NFC and felt “NFC technology could enhance and grow their business.”
