WiFi for every kind of event, planned around how it runs
A conference fails at registration, a market at the lunch rush, a festival when the gates open. Each event type stresses the network at different moments, so each gets its own plan.
EventWiFi plans event WiFi around the moments each event type stresses the network: registration and keynotes at conferences, bump-in and payments at trade shows, gates and EFTPOS at festivals and markets, the live stream at hybrid events and weddings. Staff, payments, production and guests go on separate networks, sized for the peak headcount, with a connection and backup chosen for the site.
Pick your event type below for what usually goes wrong, which networks to separate, what to ask the venue and a sizing example. If your event mixes types, such as a conference with an exhibition floor, the event network planner is a good place to start, and the planning checklist covers the timeline.

What kinds of events do you provide WiFi for?
EventWiFi plans networks for conferences, corporate events, launches, trade shows, pop-up stores, markets, festivals, concerts, sporting and community events, weddings, private and faith events, hybrid events, hackathons, esports and school or university events.
What matters most for event WiFi?
Plan for the busiest moment, keep payments and production on their own networks, check the venue rules early, and size upload for any live stream or media uploads. Guest WiFi comes after the networks the event depends on.
