How we work

NFCW tracks and reports on the latest developments in contactless communications, from core enabling technologies like contactless cards, mobile wallets, NFC, QR, biometrics and UWB to contactless payments, credentials, ticketing, and beyond. 

• Readers can easily keep up-to-date with the latest news via our email newsletter service.
• They can also register as a member of our Knowledge Centre to access a wealth of in-depth educational resources.
• Webinars, white papers, live events and more are all available to members at no cost. Premium research and consulting services are also available for members who choose to upgrade to our Inner Circle membership tier.
• Registration for new members is free of charge in return for completing a membership application that includes their contact details and demographic information and permission to share their details with the sponsors of any information they choose to access.
• Suppliers can then quickly and easily reach, influence and connect with potential new customers by sharing white papers, research studies, webinar recordings and conference presentations with our members, or joining us as a sponsor of a live or pre-recorded online event.
• They can also draw on our unique insight into what kind of information the market wants to engage with to co-create content that builds trust and brand visibility, generates leads and enquiries, and maximizes results.
• All our options come with a news article written by the NFCW team to promote your content to our audience that will be published on NFCW, shared on social media and included in our email newsletters. Dedicated email blasts and banner advertising campaigns that maximise your market reach are also available.
• We’ll then share with you the details of all the members who access your content, with their full permission, so you can see exactly how well NFCW can work for you.
