Planning your check-in?
Common questions we help event teams answer before their event day.
Badge replacement and invalidation
When a replacement badge is issued, the previous badge is automatically invalidated. If someone tries to use a deactivated badge, they're locked out.
Staffed desks, self-service kiosks, or both?
Options for utilizing staffed registration desks and self-service terminals. Most events use a combination for the best attendee flow.
Choosing the right hardware
Your check-in requirements and budget should determine your hardware — whether you're buying or renting barcode scanners, printers, and kiosks.
DIY registration or external badging company?
Deciding between handling registration in-house, renting equipment, or outsourcing to a professional badging company.
