5 ways to use QR codes in Conference Manager

QR codes are easy to use, and at the same time, they can make a big difference for your event. In Conference Manager, you can use QR codes for everything from check-in to lead scanning and registration. Here are five ways QR codes can make your work easier and give participants a better experience:

Arrival registration and nametags

You can create a ticket with a QR code and use it for both check-in and name tag printing. Add a QR code with the participant ID, suitable for CM Exhibition, and use it at arrival to check in the participant. When the QR code is scanned, the participant is automatically registered as arrived.
If you also use Conference Manager’s onsite printing, the participant’s name tag is printed the moment the QR code is scanned. This way, both check-in and tag handout are handled in one step – fast, easy, and without manual search in the participant list.

vCard on the name tag

You can add a QR code with the participant’s contact details (vCard) on the name tag. When other participants scan the code with their mobile camera, they can save the information directly to their contacts. This makes networking much easier and ensures participants can stay in touch after the event.

Participant ID for lead scanning

You can add a QR code with the participant ID on the name tag, which can be scanned in CM Exhibition and used for lead scanning. As the organizer, you need to create an external login for exhibitors so they can scan the participants. This way, exhibitors can easily build an overview of all their leads and retrieve data after the event.

In the Material section of Conference Manager – or via an external QR generator – you can create material with a QR code containing a link. This can be used, for example, for existing participants who need quick access to a specific webpage or resource. You can also print the QR code and place it on signs or materials at the event, giving participants easy access to additional content.

QR code for registration

Want to make it easy to sign up for your event? You can also create a QR code that links directly to the registration page. Print it on posters, flyers, or in ads, so new participants can scan the code and register immediately – without having to type in a long link.

Ready to get started?

QR codes in Conference Manager can be used for much more than just tickets. They make it easier to manage check-in, improve networking opportunities, and help exhibitors with lead scanning. At the same time, they can be used to share content and make registration more accessible.
With just a few clicks, you can create QR codes in Conference Manager and use them to create a better experience – both for you as an organizer and for your participants.
