1. A method for interacting with audience members in an event, wherein the event has a finite number of participating attendees selected from attendees of the event, comprising the steps of:
for each participating attendee, creating a unique combined ID (UID) on a mobile wireless device (MWD) by the steps of:
detecting a presence of the MWD by a beacon device;
generating by the beacon device a signal configured for detection by the MWD;
launching an application stored on the MWD in response to a detection of the signal;
inputting to the MWD an identifier;
creating the combined UID by combining the input identifier with a UID timestamp corresponding to a time of creation of the UID, wherein the UID comprises an identifier portion that includes the input identifier and a UID timestamp portion so as to distinguish two different UIDs having a duplicate identifier portion; and
accepting and storing the combined UID in a database;
receiving with a server, on a wireless channel, communications from the MWD of each participating attendee; and
registering the combined UID of each participating attendee at a venue of the event.
