Event-Scan

Katherine McCommon - Certified Epidemics Specialist, Stanford University

Event-Scan started as a high-tech temperature scan solution using professional facial recognition to identify the best thermal point on the human face, the tear ducts for the most accurate core body temperature regardless of the surrounding environment, indoors or outdoors.

In today’s podcast, we discuss the difference between COVID tests like the “PCR” or nasal swab test, an antibody test, and an antigen test that takes just a drop of blood from a fingertip like a glucose test for blood sugars for a rapid 10-minute result.

Contact tracing and wrist band identifications after an individual has been cleared for event participation.

Prevention protocol coaching to help an event foresee the path to a successful opening mid/post COVID.

Jon Petz is a professional speaker and meeting emcee that specializes in keeping a meeting energized and on time. His job is much more than just a guy that introduces the next speaker at a sales meeting, he also has to make sure that the meeting is running smoothly, that important directions and safety information is passed along tho all the guests and he has to be happy and entertaining while doing it! By adding additional spacing of guests at typical round-tables and making sure that everyone was wearing a mask at all times, Jon tells us about the difficulties presented in communication and how he felt with an insecure and quieter audience, let me say THIS is why you need an experienced talent you can trust to wake everybody up...
