    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.

    • Low‑speed ready

    Operations

    Assign an on‑site lead for issues and keep a quick response checklist.

    Aftercare

    Audit check‑in records and remove unnecessary personal data after the event.

    Tips

    Use signage to help attendees prepare their QR before arriving at the gate.

    FAQ

    Can we use paper‑only check‑in?

    You can, but QR plus manual fallback is faster.

    Should we encode personal data?

    No. Link to a secure check‑in page instead.

    What if Wi‑Fi fails?

    Make the page lightweight and prepare LTE/manual alternatives.

    Key takeaways

    • Optimize the check-in page for speed
    • Prepare a manual fallback
    • Use larger codes for fast scanning
