NFC Experience Zones More than a dozen NFC Experience Zones will be strategically placed around the Expo, enabling attendees with NFC handsets to download information and maps, test out NFC vending machines, interact with smart posters and join in an NFC treasure hunt throughout the Expo;
MAE NFC University Challenge In this essay competition, university students from around the region are invited to outline their visions for the future of NFC and how it can solve everyday problems; and
