Say goodbye to pre-printed badges! EventNook’s streamlined check in experience can check in guests, prints badges on the spot and sends guests into your event in a matter of seconds.
You may be asking yourself how many check-in counters you will need for your event. Furthermore, what kind of check-in experience works most efficiently for you?
Experience has told us that during a thirty-minute check in period, one check counter can check in approximately 100 attendees. So, using this information, we can suggest the following:
| # of attendees to be checked-in over 30 mins | # of Check-in Counters |
| 100 | 1-2 |
| 500 | 5-6 |
| 1000 | 10-12 |
Here are a couple of different scenarios that can help you gauge exactly what kind of check in experience you need on the day of your event…
Corporate/Government Conferences:
In an exclusive corporate or government conference, you can sometimes expect upwards of a thousand invited attendees. For this reason, you can expect that everyone will be wanting to check in quickly and at around the same time.
Due to the high density of attendees , we suggest that you assign trained registration staff at each check-in counter to ensure efficiency, effectiveness, and a hassle-free check-in experience for your guests.

Public events
From baby races to yacht shows, public events attract more than just the typical businessperson or government official. Crowds can be bigger, and the event can last throughout the day. For this reason, peak registration times can be less concentrated as attendees may decide to check in at different stages during the event (some in the morning, some in the afternoon etc.)
We recommend using self-check in kiosks where attendees can check themselves in using the QR code with minimal assistance from a staff member. This saves event organizers manpower while still promoting efficiency. Even though the check in process may take a couple extra seconds, the direct attention of event staff is not necessarily required.

To recap, here are a few things you need to consider when planning the check-in stage of your event:
- Type of event
- Number of attendees
- Special counters (Walk-in, VIP only)
- Peak check-in time period
- Complexity of the check-in procedure (Is it a simple check in? Or you need to give a check-in package? Or even more, attendees need to do a ticket drawing for prize?)
Note: You may require extra check-in counters for walk-in registrations, badge reprints, and any exclusive check-in counters for VIP guests.
