Event Attendance Reader

Planning an event? Let PennCard help with iValidate

If you are planning a conference, training, fair, seminar, or other event, you’ll want to use iValidate. Track attendance against your list of invitees, monitor mandatory attendance, prevent unauthorized access, get post-event follow up with metrics, and even accept PennCash at your event. Rates begin at $35 per device, per day.

Contact us for a demonstration at penncard@upenn.edu or call the PennCard office at 215.417.CARD (2273).

Devices and Fees:

  • Reader with AirPennNet WiFi: $35 / day
  • Reader with AT&T mobile data $60 / day

Attendance readers that use AirPennNet in place of AT&T cellular service for connectivity have been introduced as a lower cost alternative to cellular devices. Use of these WiFi devices should be suitable for any location with AirPennNet access. Those hosting events off-campus or anywhere else AirPennNet does not reach should request readers with AT&T cellular data service.

A late fee of $30 per device, per day will be assessed on devices that are not returned by the agreed upon date and time.
