Evolv in Action 

Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs for their thrilling overtime victory in Super Bowl LVIII. 

The NFL season may now be officially over, but the business of sports has no season.  Believe it or not, all NFL teams – including the Chiefs and 49ers – are already busy planning for 2024.  This isn’t just an NFL phenomenon either.  Business staff in every sport must be able to focus simultaneously on delivering in the present and getting ready for the future.    

To multi-task like this, efficiency is key.  The most successful team and venue executives have developed strategies to gather and process information quickly and drive toward decisions. 

Here at Evolv, we’re doing our part to help these executives get the information they need to make good decisions about venue security screening.  We believe that information should ideally include an IRL (in real life) opportunity to see Evolv Express in action.  Especially for experienced operators who have struggled to reduce entry lines, there’s just no substitute for seeing firsthand a system that can safely and effectively screen as many as 4,000 people per hour.  We use the word “transform” a lot for a reason.  Seeing Express in action truly transforms the understanding of what’s possible. 

To make the IRL experience as easy as possible, we’re organizing a major live demo initiative this spring … the Evolv in Action Tour.  We’ve locked in dates for showcase events at 16 sports customer sites from coast to coast, from Citi Field in New York to SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.  Each event will have a full Express demonstration.  As extra incentive, each participant will also be our guest in a suite for a game or for a behind-the-scenes venue tour. 

I work in our sports vertical, so that’s naturally the focus of my blogs – but Evolv is much broader, with hundreds of customers in education, healthcare, and other sectors.  The Evolv in Action Tour is open to all.  We just use sports venues for these demos because they have very demanding performance requirements and rigorous vetting processes, which means if they trust Evolv others can confidently do so too.  And because they’re fun! 

The full schedule and additional registration information for Evolv in Action can be found here.  Whether cramming future planning into a so-called “off-season” or not, I’m confident that joining us at one of these tour stops would be time very well spent.  Hope to see you there!
