VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fobi AI To Deliver Digital Ticketing & Event Management for the Greater Vancouver Charity Invitational Golf Tournament Hosted by Adam Hadwin & Morgan Creek Golf Course

Fobi’s wallet pass technology will enable GVCI to deliver enhanced event experiences that increase attendee engagement and proceeds to charity.

Fobi AI Inc. (FOBI:TSXV) (FOBIF:OTCQB) (the "Company" or "Fobi"), an industry leader in harnessing AI and data intelligence to enable digital transformation, is pleased to announce that its wallet pass technology will be utilized for the second consecutive year to support the Greater Vancouver Charity Invitational (GVCI) golf tournament. The tournament, hosted by Canadian professional golfer and PGA Tour winner Adam Hadwin, is an annual fundraising event that aids the CH.I.L.D. Foundation in their mission to fund research and find a cure for children with intestinal and liver disorders. Since its first charity event in 2008, GVCI has raised over $1.5 million in proceeds for the CH.I.L.D. Foundation.

Following the successful implementation of a new digital ticketing system for GVCI in 2022, Fobi will once again provide its wallet pass technology to deliver an enhanced attendee experience at this year’s tournament on Tuesday, August 29, 2023, at the Morgan Creek Golf Course. Attendees can conveniently download their tournament passes to their mobile wallets before the event to ensure easy access to their tickets. With Fobi's SmartScan software, which is compatible with any mobile device, organizers can quickly and efficiently scan attendees’ passes upon arrival. Fobi’s SmartScan software will also be assisting with the distribution of additional event passes that include lunch vouchers for a barbecue tailgate and entry tickets for contests and giveaways.

Through Fobi’s wallet pass, GVCI organizers can send out regular updates before, during, and after the tournament, providing valuable information such as event timelines, rules, and groupings, raffle prize announcements, live tournament updates, and post-event communications. The GVCI team, using technology provided by Fobi, offers event sponsors opportunities for guest engagement and revenue stream generation.

Gerry Hadwin, GVCI Organizer, states: "Being able to connect our registration, ticketing, and communications system last year was instrumental not only for our organizing team but also for our sponsors, attendees, and, most importantly, the CH.I.L.D. Foundation. This year, with Fobi's continued support and innovative solutions, we aim to bring GVCI to another level, ensuring a seamless, engaging, and impactful tournament experience for everyone involved."

Rob Anson, CEO of Fobi AI, shared his enthusiasm for collaborating with Adam Hadwin, Gerry Hadwin, and the CH.I.L.D. Foundation for the second consecutive year, emphasizing the importance of giving back to the community: "Empowering GVCI with the tools to enhance the attendee experience and increase proceeds for CH.I.L.D. aligns perfectly with our company’s mission. Together, our teams are driving meaningful change."
