Introducing eTag: The Next Evolution in Digital Event Identity
At Glownet, our mission has always been to simplify and enhance the live event experience. From RFID wristbands to cashless wallets, we’ve helped organizers and attendees connect payments, access, and engagement seamlessly. But physical tags come with costs, manufacturing, logistics, and distribution.
That’s why we’re introducing eTag: Glownet’s new virtual event tag.
What is eTag?
Much like an eSIM replaces a physical SIM card, eTag replaces the physical RFID tag. Assigned to a wallet, eTag holds everything you need - balances, access rights, entitlements, personal identifiers, and engagement triggers – without the need for physical media.
What eTag Means for Organizers:
- Cost-efficient operations - no production, shipping, or inventory of physical tags.
- Instant deployment - distribute digitally before, during, or after the event.
- Eco-conscious solutions - reduce plastic use and waste from single-use wristbands.
What eTag Means for Attendees:
- Immediate access - your event identity is ready from the moment you sign up.
- Seamless experience - eTag stays securely in your wallet, always ready.
- Less hassle, more enjoyment - no losing tags, reissuing, or waiting in lines.
- All-in-one experience - payments, access, entitlements, and engagement in one place.
With eTag, Glownet is making the event journey lighter, faster, and smarter - keeping everything attendees love about RFID, while giving organizers a more efficient and sustainable way forward.
As always, our innovations are born from operator feedback. eTag is the latest in our ongoing mission to streamline operations and elevate experiences for you – and your attendees.
Stay tuned - we’re already exploring even more ways to refine event orchestration, fulfillment, and identity delivery.
