Frequently Asked Questions

How do QR code mobile tickets work for events?

Attendees receive a unique QR code via email that serves as their ticket. At check-in, staff scan the code with a phone or tablet, which validates the ticket and marks the attendee as arrived in real-time.

Can I track which promotional channels drive the most registrations?

Yes, create different QR codes for each channel (posters, social media, email) linking to the same registration page. Analytics show which codes get the most scans, revealing your best-performing channels.

What's the best way to use QR codes for networking at events?

Create vCard QR codes that attendees can share for instant contact exchange. Display codes on name badges or in the event app. Recipients scan to save contact details directly to their phone.

How can QR codes improve event feedback collection?

Place QR codes at each session linking to feedback forms. Attendees can respond immediately while content is fresh. This typically increases feedback rates 3-5x compared to post-event surveys.
