Event Check-in with QR Codes
Design check-in flows that stay fast even in high-traffic venues.
Intro
Event check‑in needs speed and reliability. Network issues and queues must be anticipated.
Preparation
Plan entry flow, test the network, and prepare a manual fallback process.
Steps
Keep pages light, prepare manual check‑in, and use large codes at gates.
Example
Simplifying the check‑in page cut queue time significantly at a conference.
Mistakes
Relying on a single network or lacking a fallback process causes delays.
