There are some things to consider when running Lead Capture at your event. The main consideration will be how attendees will check-in at a kiosk and receive their badge. How you plan to run Kiosks at your event will guide you to best configure your project.
Attendee Check-in Methods for Kiosks
It is important to consider how your attendees will be using the Kiosks during the event. Outlined below are the various ways the Kiosk Manager element can be used at your event.
Once your scan method has been confirmed, consider what you are intending to scan at your event.
Check-in Method 1: Enter Code
When checking in at a kiosk, attendees can enter a unique reference code to print their badge. This code will need to be distributed to attendees before the event and will be set through the profile login options.
This option does not require a badge or any scanning.
Considerations:
- What do attendees need to know about checking in at a kiosk?
- What unique reference code will be used?
- How will you communicate this information with attendees?
Check-in Method 2: Kiosk Registration
When checking in at a kiosk, attendees can complete a registration form to print their badge. This kiosk registration form is setup in the CMS and registrations taken through the form are created as profiles.
Registration via the kiosk does not allow for payment to be taken. If payment is required, it is recommended to choose another method.
This option does not require a badge or any scanning.
Considerations:
- What do attendees need to know about checking in at a kiosk?
- What information will be collected using the kiosk registration?
- Do you require payment for tickets/registrations?
- How will you communicate this information with attendees?
Check-in Method 3: Scan QR Code
There are two (2) options for scanning QR codes on a kiosk: kiosk to scan or attendee to scan.
Kiosks are equipped with a built-in QR scanner. This scanner reads an attendee’s unique QR code or ticket and will print the attendee’s badge.
Alternatively, each kiosk has a unique event QR code that can be scanned by an attendee through the event app. When the QR code is scanned using the in-app QR scanner, the attendee’s badge will be printed. Please note: this scan method requires the app element and attendees will need to be logged into the event app to scan.
Considerations:
- What do attendees need to know about checking in at a kiosk?
- What do you intend to scan at your event?
- How will you communicate this information with attendees?
