The rule01
Access is a credential, not a link
Why it exists
A login ID and a key that we never see — generated, hashed and handed to the mailer. There is deliberately no way to reveal it, so "send again" mints a new one.
One record, four audiences, real access control
Event Technology & Access
Our own platform: registration, client workspace, delegate portal, exhibitor matchmaking, badging, live boards and close-out data.
The discipline
The failures in event technology are almost always integration seams — a registration list that disagrees with the door, a rooming file that does not match the hotel’s, leads that arrive a fortnight late in the wrong shape.
We removed the seams by building one record that the client, the operations team, the delegate and the exhibitor all work inside, each seeing exactly what their role permits.
The standards
Rules, and why each one exists.
A rule without a reason gets dropped the first time it is inconvenient. Each of these has the failure it prevents written next to it.
The rule02
Aggregate, never itemise, other people’s data
Why it exists
The client sees that 41 of 60 visas are approved. They do not see whose passport expires in March. The response shape is the access policy, not a template decision.
The rule03
A module that is off refuses the request
Why it exists
Not merely hidden. If an event does not run visas, the visa endpoint returns nothing at all — so a probe cannot map what a client runs either.
The rule04
Identity documents are encrypted by us
Why it exists
Passports and visas are encrypted before they reach storage, every read is logged against a person, and they are purged on a retention date. Without the key, upload is refused rather than stored in the clear.
