The onsite content management section allows you to monitor and manage Touchpoints.
Visit Touchpoints are NFC (near-field communication) readers to which exhibitors and partners can assign digital content. When a visitor taps their NFC badge on the Touchpoint they can then access that digital content through Visit Discover. Refer to Touchpoints for more information.
