Reliable Internet Solutions for Every Event  

Successful events depend on consistent, high-quality internet connections. Understanding your connectivity requirements early helps reduce risk and improve the attendee experience.

Determining the bandwidth required for event registration systems, attendee Wi-Fi, event apps, streaming platforms, production technology and AI-powered experiences doesn’t have to be complex.

Encore combines decades of live event production and technology expertise to provide planning resources and internet services custom-designed to support your event needs.

When evaluating internet requirements for your event, consider:

  • Expected attendee count
  • Number of connected devices
  • Streaming and hybrid event requirements
  • Registration and event management systems
  • Sponsor activations and branded experiences
  • AI-powered tools and experiences
  • Indoor, outdoor and multi-location event venues
  • Concurrent sessions, breakout rooms and simultaneous peak-use periods
  • Presenter and production workflows
  • Exhibitor demonstration, activation and connectivity needs
  • Network testing, monitoring and on-site support requirements
  • Security and data protection needs
  • Show management, production teams, event staff and back-of-house operational connectivity needs

Frequently Asked Questions

Bandwidth requirements depend on attendee count, connected devices, streaming requirements, event apps and AI usage. Use our Bandwidth Estimator to estimate your event’s connectivity needs.

Internet is too important an element to leave for the last minute. Internet planning should be part of your initial design strategy.

Venue internet capabilities vary widely. High-density attendee environments, hybrid events and production systems often require additional planning and dedicated network support.

If you don’t plan for dedicated network support, your event may share venue Wi-Fi with all the other groups meeting on show days. The best way to avoid video lag and broken connections is to plan for internet capable of power all your event systems and keeping your participants connected.

Hybrid events frequently require connectivity for streaming, remote presenters, production systems, attendee devices and event management platforms.

AI-powered tools can increase network demand as attendees leverage generative AI, real-time translation and intelligent event applications. To manage increased AI demand, use our AI-ready checklist.

A dedicated event network helps separate and prioritize critical event systems and traffic to support a more reliable event experience.

It’s always a good idea to create dedicated event networks when you expect heavy participant usage because dedicating bandwidth for presentations and mission-critical event systems will keep them online even during periods of heavy attendee use. It’s also a good idea to dedicate event networks to specifically serve exhibitors and the on-site event staff offices.

Yes. Expanded internet networks can extend event connectivity across the entire event footprint, from indoor, outdoor and adjacent spaces to multiple buildings.
