About the Founder

 
Michael had a vision: to enhance events productivity and potential ROI.

Seeing a void in the market for an efficient, cost-effective, and technology-based system that would increase the efficiency of on-the-spot event registration, enhance event security, and provide significant flexibility and reporting/management options, he created one. 

         

As president of Astornet Technologies, Inc., a technology company he founded in 1999, Michael and his team developed and patented SmoothMeetings in 2004, in addition to a building-security system, ExpressAdmission.

Michael earned his MBA from the University of Maryland, a Masters of Science in Computer Engineering from The University of Cincinnati, and his Master of Science and Bachelor of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Université Catholique De Louvain in Belgium.

The company is based in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

 


3 Easy Steps to Increased Efficiency, Security & Cost Savings
  

  • Upon arrival, each attendee is instructed to scan his or her driver’s license (or i.d. card authorized by you) upon arrival.
     
  • A mounted camera takes a quick photo.
     
  • The computer does a quick database check using the barcode or magnetic strip on the ID. It will decline access to unauthorized individuals —alerting security (as you specify).
     
  • A photo-id badge is printed within seconds, and access is granted for authorized individuals.


It’s that easy!
Plus--there is minimal space required for the equipment and the ROI is high—saving you thousands in lost revenue from:

  • attendees who “slip by”
  • reduction of overhead for guards
  • Cost  associated with manual reporting.
