Have Attendees Scan a QR Code to Check-In to Sessions

Through the Attendee app, attendees can scan the session QR code to check in to an in-person session. This makes entry to in-person sessions a more seamless experience for both event organizers and attendees.

Notes:

  • If an attendee clicks the Enter Session button in the attendee app, they will not be marked as checked in. This action will not mark them as registered either.

  • There is no option for attendees to scan a QR code to check out of the session. If you need to check out attendees, turn on Kiosk mode in the iPad admin app and have them check out from there.

  • If you have a hybrid event, you can check the individual session report to know if an attendee watched the session virtually and / or joined the session in-person.

  • This feature is only available for In-Person and Hybrid Events.

Allow Attendee Self Check-In

To set this up, open the session for editing and turn on the toggle to Allow Attendee Self Check-In in Advanced Settings. A unique QR code will appear at the bottom, which event admins can download, print, and then position at the door. They can also include the QR code in their presentation for attendees to scan using the Attendee app.

Self Check-In to Sessions By Scanning the QR Code

Attendees using the Attendee app can click the QR Scan button from the event's home page. This will launch the camera so they can scan the session QR code. After scanning, they will be considered as "Checked In" to the session.

How to Know How Many Attendees Attended the Session Virtually and / or In-Person for Hybrid Events

The Individual Session Report will give you these details, download the report and we'll show you which columns to look at.

In the report, you look at these columns:

To know if they join the session in-person:

  • They should have a Check-in Date

To know if they watch the session virtually:

  • They should have "Yes" in Attended Live or Watched Recording

The Registered Date column is the date and time of when the attendee saved a seat / add to my schedule. If they didn't do these actions, it would show the date and time of when they logged in to the session or checked in to the session, whichever comes first. The time is in the event's timezone.

Note: If the event is in-person or virtual, the Check-in Date column will tell you if the attendee has joined the session.
