Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition
Securing high-profile defence events with automated approval workflows and facial recognition entry.

Balancing stringent high-security verification with seamless attendee entry
As a high-profile international defence exposition, Indo Pacific operates under strict security requirements. AMDA needed absolute certainty over who was entering the ICC Sydney venue, requiring a robust registration process with built-in approval workflows.
Their main challenge was ensuring that every single attendee was thoroughly vetted without causing bottlenecks, long queues, or delays at the venue entry points while also guaranteeing precise attendance data post-event for strict compliance reporting.
Multi-layered security meets rapid access management
To meet the stringent requirements of a high-security defence trade event, Lüp deployed a complete, tailored registration and access control platform designed to balance high-level security with optimal visitor flow. The process began well before the doors opened, utilising built-in vetting and approval workflows that allowed AMDA to thoroughly review and screen every registration prior to ticket issuance. Once approved, attendees received a print-at-home badge to ensure a streamlined, quick entry upon arrival at ICC Sydney.
Onsite, Lüp provided an end-to-end access infrastructure to handle foot traffic effortlessly. For visitors who had not pre-printed their passes or required on-the-day assistance, Lüp’s dedicated onsite team operated registration desks equipped to issue secure badges within seconds, eliminating potential bottlenecks.
At entry points, security was reinforced using advanced badge scanning integrated with facial recognition technology, introducing a vital layer of biometric verification to prevent unauthorised venue access. Behind the scenes, Lüp’s real-time data infrastructure tracked live attendance across the venue continuously, delivering clear visibility throughout the event and generating comprehensive post-event analytics on registrations, check-ins, and compliance metrics.
Frictionless security, zero compromises and complete data clarity
By integrating Lüp’s access solution, AMDA delivered a frictionless entry experience while maintaining uncompromising security standards across the multi-day exposition.
The vast majority of attendees benefited from rapid venue access via print-at-home badges, while onsite support handled exceptions instantly. AMDA gained total peace of mind through strict biometric access control and received detailed, compliant attendance reports to streamline future event planning and stakeholder reporting.
