About Us

Crowd Cushion™ is the vision of Catherine Curtin, a recent University of South Carolina graduate who majored in Sports and Entertainment Management.  Catherine has enjoyed many a concert and considers herself to be seasoned festival goer.  She and her friends learned to move away from stage front during certain performances because the pushing crowd would literally lift her off her feet.

Catherine approached the management of Comprise with her idea for a system to alert in the event of excessive crowd crush pressure.  Comprise is a 30-year established technology integrator with a community-minded Board that approved an accelerated development track for the project.  Two years in, Crowd Cushion™ is about to start it’s third Summer at the Stone Pony Summer Stage, an anchor of the Asbury Park, NJ music scene since 1974! Many thanks for their enthusiastic support from the beginning. Crowd Cushion has also been successfully deployed at two festivals with over 35,000 attendees each, as well as large arena events.

Crowd Cushion™ is an innovative patent pending notification system that alerts event management with real time notification of crowd pressure on stage barricades.  Comprise is pleased to be the exclusive distributor of the Crowd Cushion Notification System™.
