Singapore has been piloting MICE events with up to 250 pax since phase 3 of re-opening in Dec-2020 and it has recently increased the event size of up to 750 attendees with Safety Management Measures (SMMs) starting from 24-April-2021.
Cities of the Future hosted by IMG and organized by Unbound, the inaugural Cities of the Future conference took place on Wednesday, 28 April 2021, at the Raffles City Convention Centre, Singapore. This prestigious, invite-only event coincided with the HSBC Women’s World Championship LPGA golf tournament. This gathering of civic, corporate and startup leaders, all involved with driving the growth, planning and development of ASEAN cities, explored city development strategies and deployment of innovative solutions and technologies to build the connected city of the future. Delegates participated in a full day of case studies, panels, keynotes, roundtables, pitching and workshops.
EventNook provided the comprehensive onsite management solution for the Cities of the Future event to manage the guests registration smoothly according to the guideline of the Safe Business Events framework and safe management measures (SMM) provided by the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and worked closely with the organizer to run the registration flow smart, professional and hassle-free.
For this event, we provided the Cities of Future team with the following services:
- EventNook Onsite Mobile Kiosk Check-in System with QR code
- Onsite Instant Badge Printing
- Comprehensive Equipment Rental and Setup
- Onsite Event Day Technical Supervision
Safe Check-in with Safe Distancing Requirement
The delegates must be assigned into Zone, Cohort, and Table Number as well as registration time-slot to avoid the crowd at the registration counter. The organizer requires an efficient and effective process to manage the guest list with that arrangement as well as sending out the personalized information to all guests in a timely manner.
How did we help the Cities of the Future with smart, efficient and seamless registration?
EventNook onsite management tool provides the essential features that allow organizers to manage the guest information with assigning Zone, Cohort, Table Number and Registration timeslot and personalized e-ticket with a stunning custom-designed corporate brand and event theme.
Prior to the event, the delegates will receive an email with personalized information such as Zone, Cohort, etc., and the QR Code e-ticket to check-in at the venue upon arrival and collect a badge instantly. The whole process for guest registration and collection of badges is done in less than 10 seconds.
With the comprehensive and personalized information such as Zone, Table, etc. provided to the guests, the delegates can proceed to their seats without any confusion or requiring to wonder where they have to proceed with.
Touchless check-in
With QR Code check-in, there is a very minimum touchpoint and the delegates don’t have to touch with the device and registration staff. The delegate just easily shows the QR code (as in the video below) to the screen and it’s done fast and seamlessly. The check-in and printing the badge took 3 seconds only.
Environmental Friendly Badge
EventNook also provided instant badge printing with a type of paper badge that doesn’t require an additional plastic badge holder. It saves having hundreds of plastic badge holders and also removed an additional step of having to insert the badge into the holder. That saves an additional 1 or 2 minutes of waiting time for every guest. The delegates can just move like Scan and Go!
Monitoring the attendance in real-time
Since the eventnook platform provides the real-time guest registration status from an app, the organizer can monitor whether all guests, VIP and speakers have arrived and able to coordinate with the event team and host to start the event.
