To accurately estimate attendance at our events, we utilize a combination of AI-powered photo analysis and vendor sales data. We capture wide-angle and overhead photos throughout the event and use AI software to analyze crowd density and movement patterns. This technology allows us to generate reliable headcounts by identifying individuals in various zones and calculating attendance over time. It also helps us understand peak hours and guest flow, which informs future event planning and staffing. In addition to visual analysis, we cross-reference attendance estimates with vendor and food & beverage sales. By tracking the number of tasting tickets sold, food truck transactions, and beverage purchases, we gain a secondary data point that validates our visual counts. This dual-method approach ensures accuracy and provides a comprehensive picture of guest engagement. Together, these tools allow us to report attendance confidently and demonstrate the tourism impact of our events to stakeholders and funding partners. 2500 character limit Application Questions: Part 5 Yes No We are applying for LTAC Grant Funding, we may seek outside sponsorship depending on the status of our funding request. 2500 character limit If funding for our request is not available or recommended, we will implement several adjustments to ensure Suncadia's Holiday Drone Show can still proceed while maintaining its core appeal: Seek Alternative Sponsorships: We will intensify outreach to local and regional businesses for sponsorships and in-kind contributions.
