Trailblazing the Future of Crowd Intelligence: WaitTime Takes the Stage with Intel at Horizon Summit

Last week, the future of AI met the future of operational intelligence—and it happened center stage at the Horizon Summit in the Bay Area.

WaitTime’s fearless Chief Information Officer, Elizabeth Henson, joined Christi Stahl, Head of Corporate Partnerships, Brand Marketing at Intel, to shine a spotlight on how WaitTime’s patented crowd management platform is transforming how the world moves—from stadiums and airports to retail and entertainment districts.

Their talk wasn’t just about the power of AI. It was about how WaitTime’s anonymous, real-time, CPU-powered data is foundational infrastructure—data that deserves to live in the same conversations as POS data, marketing intelligence, weather feeds, and even opponent schedules.

“This isn’t just crowd data. It’s business intelligence, operational optimization, and guest experience—all rolled into one, delivered at scale, and made possible by Intel’s edge AI architecture,” said Elizabeth.

💡 Here’s what set the stage on fire:

✅ Patented, real-time AI, trained for crowd behavior—at scale

✅ No images stored, ever—privacy built in from day one

✅ Intel-powered at the edge—no GPUs, no compromise

✅ Channel-scalable—sold through leading resellers, integrators, and infrastructure partners

✅ Battle-tested in the world’s busiest venues

At Horizon Summit, the crowd wasn’t just listening—they were leaning in. The conversation quickly shifted from “cool tech” to “mission-critical infrastructure.” Because when a venue knows how long a line is, how fast it’s moving, and what to do about it—everything changes.

From labor planning and signage to marketing attribution and fan satisfaction, WaitTime is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s a need-to-integrate.

The Big Picture:

WaitTime has been blazing this trail for over a decade. Now, with Intel’s powerhouse AI enablement and a robust global channel strategy, we’re scaling like never before.

This is the new standard for smart spaces. And we’re just getting started.
