Meeting Space Validated. Ending the era of "Theoretical Capacity." Get actual attendee numbers for any space. Built by planners to survive the "Sideways Rain"
35% of planners are moving events to new cities to manage 2027 costs. Cheaper city. Same show. A room nobody on your team has stood in.
What's the first thing you check?
Half of event planners still aren't using AI. The tools ask you to change your workflow first, then promise the time savings. That's not a solution. That's homework.
WIFT has a new CEO. Welcome Kris.
WIFT will also be demoing at the @boldpush AI for Events Demo Day on October 22 with @tojulius

The venue's capacity number was set before your production existed.
Subtract the stage, front of house, rigging, mix point, and fire code walkways. That is the real number.
WIFT shows you that number before you sign.
Your venue rep won't volunteer this. Ask anyway.
1. What does the room hold with full production in it.
2. Who is actually on site on show day.
3. What does the exclusive vendor policy cost.
4. What happens to the F&B minimum if attendance changes. All four. Every time.
Things I wish someone told me before I signed my first venue contract.
1. The capacity number is for an empty room.
2. Exclusive means no alternatives.
3. The CSM might not be there on show day.
4. The F&B minimum does not adjust.
You know that feeling when you walk into a room and immediately know something is wrong. That feeling is information arriving too late. WIFT gives it to you before load-in.
The planner who signed the contract left. You inherited the room. You had no part in the decision. You carry all the weight if it goes wrong.
WIFT validates before you walk in blind.
Produced a show in Athens this week. Same questions WIFT answers. Same validation process. Different country, smaller margin for error. https://t.co/ZdBfQnYHFZ
When the room is wrong, the client calls the planner. Not the venue. Not the production company. The planner.
WIFT gives you the real number before you are in that conversation.

Most planners have never seen what WIFT actually shows you. Your real room capacity with your production in it. Under a minute. Before you sign. https://t.co/ZdBfQnY9Qr
The venue said 400. Production went in. The room holds 280. The contract was already signed. WIFT gives you the real number first.

MYTH: The capacity chart tells you how many people fit in the room.
FACT: It tells you how many people fit in an empty room. The gap between those two numbers is where events go wrong.
