What is Check-In Process?

Definition

The system and procedures for verifying attendee tickets and granting entry to an event. Check-in can be done via QR code scanning, name lookup, manual ticket inspection, or RFID badges. Efficient check-in prevents bottlenecks at entry.

Why it matters

A smooth check-in experience sets the tone for your entire event. Long check-in lines frustrate attendees and delay event start. Mobile check-in solutions can process 3-5x more attendees per minute than manual methods.
