On June 9, IFEMA will host a meeting of Pope Leo XIV with approximately 12,000 volunteers out of the 17,000 who are collaborating in his visit to Madrid. Singers Pablo López and Soraya Arnelas will provide the soundtrack for this free event, combining faith and music in an event open to the public in the capital.
The digital logistics behind 17,000 volunteers at IFEMA 🖥️
Coordinating 17,000 people for an event of this scale involves considerable technical deployment. Geolocation systems and QR code access control will be used to manage entry flows. An official app will allow volunteers to receive real-time instructions, assign shifts, and report incidents, ensuring that logistics do not fail in a venue like IFEMA.
The miracle of not stepping on the person next to you at the entrance 🙏
That 12,000 people gather to see the Pope and two singers without chaos breaking out is almost a secular miracle. Organizers trust that the app and QR codes will make the crowd flow smoothly. But let's be honest, there will always be a volunteer who arrives late, another who forgets their phone, and the classic one who asks if the Pope is coming by Uber. May faith assist us.
