High praise was given for CTE’s innovative methods of using on-site interactive cloud-based kiosks to keep lines rapidly moving during check-in, with a company representative stating that it was one of the most efficient tools used in a long time. Overall, while the quantitative contribution of CTE to VID cannot be measured, there is certainly no doubt that from the perspective of attendees at the event, the qualitative success CTE provided will be measured as one of the best in years.
