Scanning Attendee Badges

Understanding that scanning barcodes on attendee or delegate badges is crucial to measuring and reporting on your event performance, what are the ways you can go about doing it?

Here, we explain the options for event organisers who want to track attendance, verify control access, monitor capacity, or capture leads. If you would like to discuss your badge scanning requirements or have a question, get in touch with our specialist team for answers.

Fast Track Options

Fast Track event registration is the speedy solution for issuing badges and tracking attendance only. It can be provided as an unattended option, where attendees scan their own barcodes, or as a manned solution where staff assist attendees with scanning and badge collection.

Fast Track options include:

  • Manned registration desks
  • E-badge scanning stations for attendees to self-scan
  • Wallet / Passbook on attendee mobile devices
  • Queue busting options for staff to use on handheld devices or mobile devices

Handheld Scanners

The scanning software can be linked with handheld devices to aid staff with getting attendees through the doors efficiently. Handheld devices are also a great option when the venue WiFi is less than excellent. In addition, they can be useful for scanning pre-printed badges. Some organisers choose to use handheld devices in addition to other ways of scanning to manage, for example, VIPs and meet-and-greet activities.

Handheld scanners can be used for attendance, session management and exhibitor lead capture.

Staff can scan attendees on entry and around the event at access points and sessions. All the data is synced with the main system for real-time reporting.

Mobile devices can be used for attendance, verification, session management and exhibitor lead capture.
