Evolv Technology Powers Security Screening at KC Live! in the Kansas City Power & Light District

Key Terms

ai-based screening technical

AI-based screening is software that learns from past data to automatically review large volumes of information—such as medical images, lab results, resumes, applications, or financial documents—and flag items that meet specific risk, quality or eligibility criteria. Investors care because this automation can speed decision-making, cut costs, improve consistency and reveal patterns humans miss, which can alter a company’s growth prospects, regulatory risk and competitive advantage much like replacing a slow manual sorter with a fast, accurate scanner.

tsa regulatory

A Transition Services Agreement (TSA) is a short-term contract in which the seller agrees to keep providing certain back-office functions—like IT, payroll, or accounting—to the buyer after a sale so the buyer can run the acquired business without interruption. For investors, a TSA matters because it reduces operational risk and unexpected costs during the handover; a well-scoped TSA makes the deal more likely to preserve revenue and avoid surprises, while a weak or expensive TSA can signal integration trouble.

Multi-year subscription agreement for Evolv Express^® expands company’s sports and entertainment footprint in Kansas City metro area

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Evolv Technology (NASDAQ: EVLV), a leading security technology company pioneering AI-based screening designed to create safer experiences, today announced the implementation of its Evolv Express system at KC Live!, the signature entertainment destination within the Power & Light District in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.

Evolv Express^® uses advanced sensor technology and AI to detect concealed threats. The system is designed to screen visitors effectively while helping minimize congestion and disruptions to traffic flow at entry points. Families and groups can enter a venue together at a normal walking pace, aiming to provide a welcoming experience that accelerates entry for guests.

Facility management at the Power & Light District selected Evolv after observing the technology in action at Sporting Park, home of Sporting KC, and at other venues in the Midwest. The District regularly hosts watch parties, concerts, and other large-scale gatherings, welcoming millions of guests annually.

“We’re delighted to be entrusted by Power & Light District leadership to perform such a high-profile and critical function,” said John Baier, Evolv’s Vice President of Sports & Entertainment. “KC Live! is further evidence that Evolv systems can play an important security role not just for stadiums and arenas, but for a wide range of entertainment destinations as well.”

Evolv Express systems have screened more than four billion people at hundreds of theme parks, stadiums, arenas, schools, hospitals, houses of worship and public events worldwide since 2019. In Kansas City, Evolv is the Official Fan Screening Partner of Major League Soccer club Sporting KC for all events at Sporting Park. The company's systems screen ~4 million people daily worldwide, and are used by 1,500+ school buildings, 700+ healthcare buildings, and have multiple other customers in a diverse set of industries. In 2025, Evolv screened more people than the TSA each day.
