Cleanup never happens
The event ends Friday. Monday morning the temporary access is still working. So is the temporary password.
Schedule a network-access window with a defined start and end. The captive portal accepts attendees during the window. The doors close on time. No manual cleanup, no leftover access, no forgotten temporary passwords.
Three windows, three states. Auto-revoke fires the moment a window ends — every device drops, no human cleanup required.
Every event leaves a trail of "we'll clean it up after" decisions that nobody comes back to. The temporary password becomes the permanent password. Two years later, you're still finding event access from things that finished long ago.

Every event is a fresh provisioning project. Recurring events do the same work over and over.
"How many people came?" turns into "how many people connected?" — and nobody knows that either.
A captive event portal could be a sponsor surface or signup form. Most are blank.
Pick start, pick end. Optional check-in flow — terms, attendee form, sponsor splash.
The captive portal accepts attendees during the window. Per-event redirect to agenda or signup.
Window ends, every device drops. No leftovers, no cleanup ticket, no lingering access.
Event organizers run their own access. The team that books the venue is the team that controls the network — IT defines the policy template; everything else is delegated.
Real-time view of devices on the network during the event. Spot the rush, plan the next one.
Per-minute attendance curve. When did people arrive, when did they leave, when did they engage.
Phone vs tablet vs laptop, OS distribution. Useful for sponsor content and bandwidth planning.
Which areas filled up, which stages packed in. Real attendance data per location.
The window closes; every device drops. No leftovers, no "did we close it?" questions.
Total reach, engagement breakdown, attendee form exports. Marketing gets ROI numbers, not vibes.
One-off events with a defined window — open at start, close at end, no leftovers.
Big-spike attendance with a hard end time. Capacity planning data included.
Temporary retail, brand activations, weekend markets — temporary by design, traceable by default.
Town halls, member meetings, public consultations — Wi-Fi just for the duration.
