News & Events

The V5iD® team proudly participated in The Hospitality Show 2025, one of the largest hospitality technology events of the year. Over two dynamic days, our booth welcomed thousands of visitors — from boutique hotel owners and large hotel chains to casino executives and property management system (PMS) vendors — all eager to explore how AI can transform identity verification in the hospitality industry.

At the event, V5iD® demonstrated its AI-driven ID and Passport Verification Kiosk, capable of verifying identities in under 5 seconds, even in venues with limited internet connectivity. The performance and reliability of the system drew strong attention, proving that cutting-edge AI can deliver both speed and accuracy without compromising security or privacy.

Among the many highlights, one PMS vendor conducted a live validation of their own ID verification software against V5iD’s system and confirmed that V5iD® successfully identified a fake ID their solution failed to detect. This real-world comparison reinforced our leadership in accuracy and robustness within identity verification technology.

Beyond convenience and operational efficiency, identity verification plays a crucial role in protecting hotels from serious risks such as theft, fraud, human trafficking, and other illegal activities. Establishing verified guest identities not only enhances safety but also helps reduce legal liability, safeguard property investments, and protect brand reputation. As the hospitality industry continues to evolve, secure digital identity verification is no longer optional — it is essential.

The sustained visitor traffic throughout both days underscored the high level of interest and trust in V5iD’s products. Many attendees discussed future integration opportunities — from property management platforms to guest check-in systems — aimed at enhancing security, compliance, and guest experience.

We extend our sincere thanks to the organizers of The Hospitality Show for bringing together industry leaders and innovators, and for hosting such a productive and well-organized event.

V5iD® remains dedicated to redefining identity verification through AI innovation, privacy protection, and seamless integration — helping the hospitality industry verify identities smarter, faster, and more securely.

We are pleased to announce that V5iD® will be exhibiting at The Hospitality Show 2025, taking place October 26–28, 2025 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, CO.

As a trusted leader in AI-powered identity verification, V5iD will showcase solutions designed to meet the unique needs of the hotel, motel, and hospitality industry.
