From the meeting
At the August 19, 2026 meeting, Event Services said it implemented open gates and weapon-detection systems for a major basketball event and moved more than 200,000 people through the system. Management said the successful implementation showed the technology could handle very large crowds and may be used for future clients. The buying decision is already made, but the result creates follow-on sales value for security screening and event operations support.
