Interview with Terrie Smith, Co-Founder & CEO, DIGISEQ

As an avid innovator capable of bringing her ideas to life, Terrie Smith co-founded the award-winning IoT platform DIGISEQ in 2014, where she now serves as Chief Executive. In this interview, filmed during the 2022 edition of ALSD International hosted at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Terrie shared her insights.

Discussing the industry, challenges and how DIGISEQ fits into the sports and entertainment landscape, Terrie said:

We offer a solution that we would really like to bring into the stadium and sports world. We have been in the payments world for a long time and we see that the security levels that we do, really lend themselves to supporting the sports and stadium environment.

This [ALSD International] event is the place to meet the right people, understand what their pain-points are and really get into what they want to know and see how we can help solve those problems with our solution.

DIGISEQ is an award-winning IoT platform that provides an end-to-end service that securely delivers data into everyday wearables, enabling items – from rings to bracelets – to have NFC payment, access control, digital identity, and customer engagement functionality.

Speaking about her first experience of an ALSD International event, Terrie said:

The conference has been thoroughly illuminating. The hospitality is obviously superb and the venue is out of this world.

I would highly recommend ALSD International. I think that the people you meet, the conversations you have and the understanding of the environment is key.

If this is the world you want to be in, then this is the conference you should join!
