EventNook empowers Google For Indonesia 2022 with onsite registration management

Posted on by eventnook

Google for Indonesia is back in its seventh edition on 7th December 2022, and this year it is held as an in-person event and through online streaming. The event brought industry leaders, educators, and several ministers in Indonesia on how to innovate together and take advantage of the best technology from Google to support Indonesians everywhere through various programs and initiatives.

EventNook was tasked with helping to streamline the onsite registration process for more than 3,000 attendees. The event required onsite registration and badge printing for all attendees, which had the potential to create long lines and delays. EventNook Kiosk Smart check-in with QR Code, instant badge printing, and comprehensive onsite administration tools make the registration process fast, smooth, and seamless.

Watch a quick snapshot of an Onsite Registration Process

Challenges:

  • A fast, smooth, and well-organized registration process is critical for Google to reflect its top global brand image and the first impression for an entire event experience.
  • Onsite registration and badge printing for 3,000 attendees could be time-consuming and create long lines. All guests must be efficiently checked in within 45 to 60 minutes before the opening speech.
  • The registration process needed to be efficient and seamless to provide a positive experience for attendees
  • The event organizers needed a reliable and user-friendly system to manage onsite registration and badge printing.

Solution:

We supported our client WeAreMCI – MCI Group in implementing an onsite event registration and instant badge printing system. The system included tablets for attendees to self-register and print their badges on demand. The tablets were equipped with QR Scan to verify the guest and validate identity. Attendees simply scanned their tickets and ID, and their badges were printed immediately.

We provided the badge with a tear-resistant, stylish, and environmentally friendly badge. It saves the requirement of having a plastic badge holder and an extra 1 minute per guest for inserting the badge into the plastic holder.

Our eventnook team with the event team to take the lead on setting up the registration counters and coordinating with the event team for the event day registration flow and planning.

Results:

  • The onsite event registration and instant badge printing system was a success, with 95% of attendees completing the registration process in under 2 minutes without waiting time.
  • The system was user-friendly and efficient, with minimal delays or issues.
  • Attendees reported a positive experience with the registration process, with many noting the convenience and speed of the system.
  • The event organizers smoothly managed onsite registration and badge printing, with minimal staff required to assist attendees.

Conclusion:

By implementing an onsite event registration and instant badge printing system, the event was able to streamline the registration process and provide a smooth and seamless experience for attendees. The system was efficient and user-friendly and significantly improved the registration process.

[CASE STUDY] How EventNook Helped IMAS – Bloomberg Investment Conference 2022 with Our Event Technology

Posted on by eventnookteam

Bloomberg Investment Conference is an annual event held by the collaboration of IMAS and Bloomberg. Each year they discover several topics of investment related to global warmings, like 1) Navigating the Headwinds, 2) Transition Finance in Asia: What Does an Effective, yet Inclusive Transition Look Like?, and 3) Integrating ESG into Investment Frameworks – Is there an Optimum Model?. 

This year, EventNook is happy to help with the onsite registration management of this event using our event technology. As their event is planned while zoning requirements are still required, the organizer can seamlessly send the invitation to all guests with their zones in one click without sending it manually one by one.

Onsite Registration with Badge Printing

A long queue line of delegates and a slow onsite registration process will be a hassle for both the organizers and delegates. This also shows that the event hasn’t been prepared well by the organizers. To prevent this from happening, EventNook provides fast and seamless onsite registration with a badge printing process. When the delegates receive the conference invitation, they will receive the QR Code that later will be used for the check-in process. Once their check-in is successful, the printer will automatically print the badge in 2 seconds.

Equipment Rental and Onsite Supervision

EventNook provided comprehensive onsite support including equipment rental, onsite setup, and supervision to run the registration smoothly and very successfully. We will do the fuss-free equipment set up on the venue and will provide you with onsite supervision to prevent unwanted things from happening.

Product Update: Checking my events dashboard easily on a single page

Posted on by eventnook

In EventNook, our goal is to help organizers to get their jobs done quickly and easily so that they can save time and focus their energy on making events more successful and better experiences. It also helps a small team to handle a major big event.

This week, we are releasing another minor enhancement that can help organizers with series of events more efficient in managing the events.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, the organizers are shifting towards having series of webinars and virtual events. With virtual hosting, starting a webinar is also much faster than a physical seminar event as there are no issues with the physical space and venue.

VIEW DASHBOARD

When you have series of multiple events, one of the frequent tasks is to see the registration and sales stats dashboard. Previously, the users have to do more clicking and open the dashboard in the new tab. That will take 5 to 10 seconds to view the stats of the event.

Now, the organizers will be able to view the dashboard in a second of multiple events without going back and forth.

SEARCH EVENTS

When the organiser has series of events like 10 to 20 workshops happening under your account, the organizer needs to go to a particular event to manage, search will help to find it very quickly instead of going through a list of events.

BOOKMARK EVENTS

Bookmarking feature is another way to quickly go to the events that you are managing daily. You can quickly go to the bookmarked events tab and manage the event in 2 seconds.

Happy Organizing the events! Stay Safe and Stay Connected!

QR codes for various use cases in events

Posted on by Kaung Set

Do you see a QR code everywhere in almost every event you attend, and have you ever wondered how do QR codes work or how they can be beneficial in the event industry? If you are beginning to understand QR code possible use cases in events, this article will help you one step ahead towards event market domination. The following are the contents we would cover.

  1. What is a QR code?
  2. How to use the QR code?
  3. Where to use the QR code in Events?
  4. How to create the QR code?

1. What is a QR code?

Before we jump to the possible use cases, we must first learn the QR code’s basic concepts.

QR code stands for Quick Response code, a two-dimensional version barcode capable of storing lots of data almost instantly by scanning with the mobile device. Nowadays, QR codes can be seen everywhere and anywhere widely used for marketing, advertising, events, healthcare, education, and payment.

There are two types of QR codes: Static & Dynamic. The Static QR code is fixed and permanent, and its data cannot be edited after completion. It could help link email addresses, social media, URLs, wifi passwords, etc. On the other hand, dynamic QR codes can store more data and can be edited and even after you have printed it on paper.

2.How to use the QR code?

QR code can be decoded in two ways:

  • Third-party QR code reader app that converts the image to usable information
  • The device camera functions as a built-in QR code scanner in a mobile device, such as new smartphone versions: iPhone, Bixby vision for Samsung, etc.

3.Where to use the QR code in Events?

QR codes for Event Marketing

You can use QR code to amplify your event marketing efforts in boosting more attendees. By offering additional information in the QR code, users can simply scan the code and view all the event details: location, time, and link to the event ticketing platforms to purchase the event ticket with a tap.

It is also perfect for advertising on paper-based printing materials such as leaflets. The space needed to spend on the ads page can be minimized and promotes advanced technology excitement through scanning. You can easily print those printed ads and do leaflets printingonline at Gogoprint, and they will deliver your orders to your doorstep. You can create large-scale marketing campaigns on prints such as billboards, advertising posts, even bus stops, and even in digital worlds by integrating the use of QR codes.

As an additional benefit, you can track and optimize your QR code campaigns in digital and print. In that report, you can view the real-time metrics such as location, time scanned, types of devices used, total scans, etc.

QR codes for Business Cards

Business cards are mandatory, especially in networking and business events. Instead of writing out your business emails, website, address, and some other details on your business card, you could easily create a QR code and print it on a business card without occupying too much space on it. QR codes on a business card are essential to communicate with your potential business partners, customers, and investors. They can be stored with your basic information and your company or product information to build your company’s credentials to the business community.

You may want to find out how Gogoprint can help you with Business card printing online.

QR codes for Onsite Registration at an event

When an event accepts walk-in customers and customers need to do onsite registration or onsite ticket purchase, it could be redundant in the registration process if you collect the attendee’s information with the manual registration process.

In that case, you can create a QR code for the URL of the registration site or event ticket platform and print it somewhere in the event registration area so that people can quickly scan the QR code to register or purchase the tickets in a short time on their own. And you can assign one or two staff at the onsite registration counter to help with it if there are any issues.

QR codes for Event Check-in

Check-in with a QR code can speed up the process and will help to avoid the long queue at the entrance. It can also track people’s attendance at an event. To create a QR code for event check-in, you can use an event registration software like EventNook.

With EventNook, once registrants purchase the ticket or register the Event, they will automatically receive the e-ticket embedded with an instantly generated and unique QR code. Then, on the event day, the event organizer can use a free EventNook mobile check-in kiosk to let people check in by scanning each registrant’s unique QR code. All you need is iPhone or iPad device.

In that way, QR codes can track the attendee’s check-in, absence data, and solve the long queue problems in event registration and make your events look stunning and professional with advanced technology excitement. Check out the below video on how smart check-in with QR code works.

QR code for Event Badges

Adding QR codes on custom event badges can improve the event entry process and provide networking and additional marketing opportunities.

For instance, there may involve a large group of attendees attending the same event in networking or business events, and it can put more pressure on the event management team to make both admission and re-entry faster. In that case, using digital methods can help with this. You can use registration software like EventNook, which can not only track the attendees but can provide onsite event badge printing services by showing the unique QR code to scan on the EventNook smart mobile check-in kiosk.

As you see in video above, within 2 seconds, you can print onsite custom event badges. You can also include QR code on the name badge that enables participants to network as digital business cards to streamline the networking efforts. Below is another sample video of how EventNook can scan the QR code inserted badge and track exhibitor leads.

4.How to create the QR code?

There are many free online QR code generators. You should still consider credibility, clarity, and brand reputation, such as if they got trusted by big names and brands in choosing the best QR code generators. Most QR code generators allow free static QR code, but you cannot change the information behind your QR code once generated in the QR code generator. But with the subscription, you can create the dynamic one, which allows you to edit the data behind the QR code even after printing. The followings are recommended free QR code generators.

How To Increase Online Ticket Sales For Your Events? Find Out How With Google Analytics

Posted on by veratanevnk

In our last post, we shared how you can apply the data generated from Google Analytics (GA) Audience Reports to your events. 

While it is important to know who your audience is, it is as important to know how your audience arrived at your event website to begin with. Google Analytics’ Acquisition information tells you just that. This is crucial in determining which online marketing tactics are bringing the most visitors to your event website.

We will discuss the following subcategories under Acqusition:

  • Overview
  • Channels
  • All Traffic
  • Referrals
  • Campaigns
  • Keywords
  • Cost Analysis
  • Google Ads
  • Social 

Overview

Acquisition Overview provides a snapshot of what Google calls the “Acquisition-Behavior-Conversion (ABC) Cycle.” In short, it shows you how your audience come to your event websites, what they do while they are on your website and whether they have completed a goal you have defined in GA (e.g. completing a registration or calling for an enquiry).

Channels

Channels tell you how your audience arrived at your website. The following are the explanations of each type of channel: 

  • Organic Search like Google, Yahoo! or Bing queries, provide the majority of web traffic for most websites
  • Referral traffic comes from a link on another website
  • Direct visitors come to your site by entering your unique domain name into their web browser
  • Social traffic comes from places like Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest
  • Paid Search traffic comes from Google Ads or other advertising platforms
  • Email simply means the traffic comes from a link clicked from an email

All Traffic

Next, you want to know which website sends people to you. The default settings here show a breakdown of your biggest traffic sources.

All Referrals

This section excludes search engines and direct traffic and shows the websites visitors use to arrive at your site. 

Campaigns

This section provides a breakdown of your Google Ads and other web advertising campaigns. You can see if your event advertising dollars are going to good use by tracking conversions and other metrics of visitors who find websites through paid campaigns.

Keywords

If you run a Google Ads campaign, you can see how your ad campaign keywords impact search results and traffic. If you do not run a Google Ads campaign, you can still see what kind of keywords people typed in Google to find your website through Acquisition> Search Console> Queries.

Google analytics queries

Cost Analysis

According to Google, “The Cost Analysis report analyzes costs for your non-Google ad campaigns. To see Google Ads cost metrics, use the Google Ads reports.”

Google Ads

This information is particularly useful to website owners who are spending valuable marketing dollars on a Google Ads campaign. Here, you can learn about your bids, keywords, destination URLs, placements and more.

Social

Social media has become an indispensable tool for all businesses. Most events with high ticket sales have successful marketing campaigns across numerous social media platforms. With so many social media platforms, how can we keep track of them all? Fortunately, GA makes it easy to analyse social media metrics all under one roof. 

How do I apply information from the GA Acquisition report in my events?

Most significantly, the data would influence how you would strategize marketing campaigns for your event, for example: 

  1. Knowing where most of your traffic comes from would equate to identifying your “money-maker”. You can then increase your marketing activity through that channel, which could bring in more customers.
  2. Knowing which channels are falling behind would signal that you need to find a marketing solution to increase reach in that channel. For example, if your LinkedIn account is not performing as well as your Instagram account, it could be because LinkedIn is a platform for professionals and Instagram has a casual setting. You may look into using different content if you currently standardise marketing content across both channels.
  3. Pump, maintain or drop my ads? Knowing whether your money spent on ads are worthwhile could assist you in making future marketing decisions.

With the help of the Acquisition Report, you can better direct your digital marketing resources and look forward to receiving higher online ticket sales for your events!

Are Your Customers Questioning Your Business’ Data Protection Practices? Here’s How You Can Gain Their Trust.

Posted on by veratanevnk

In our previous post, we shared how individuals can take responsibility in ensuring their personal data stays protected. Now that many individuals are educated, they are more aware of how to make informed choices when choosing an organisation to safe keep their personal data.  How then, as a business that collects personal data for processing, assure your customers that their personal data are in safe hands? 

First and foremost, your customers will only trust you if you practice what you preach. Here are some rules-of-thumb you should adhere to:

#1 obtain consent

Firstly, you have to obtain either verbal, written, or even deemed consent for any personal data to be collected.

What constitutes as consent would include: Voluntary provision or cases where it is reasonable to voluntarily provide the data. Your customers also have a right to withdraw your consent at any time. One example would be the Do Not Call (DNC) registry where individuals can opt out of receiving unsolicited marketing messages and calls. Should your business be involved in telemarketing, you should ensure that numbers subscribed to the Do Not Call (DNC) Registry should not be contacted for marketing purposes. Each offence would incur a fine of up to $10,000 or face imprisonment. B2B marketing calls or messages sent to other organisations do not fall under the purview of the DNC Registry. 

How do businesses check what numbers are registered on the DNC registry?

  1. Create an account at a one-time fee of $30 ($60 for overseas companies) to gain access to the DNC system
  2. You can enter up to 10 phone numbers manually at one time. Results of the search are displayed immediately
  3. To check >10 numbers at one time by uploading a CSV file containing a list of all 8-digit Singapore telephone numbers. The results will be available for download after 24 hours
  4. All results are valid for 30 days.

#2 Inform your purpose

Once you have obtained consent, the personal data collected can only be processed in an appropriate manner and for a reasonable purpose. You must ensure that your customers are informed of the purpose for which the personal data is being collected.

Every time you need to collect personal data from individuals, be it online or offline, try to have its purpose written down clearly (See image below).

Sample Consent Clause for Membership Application Inform purpose

#3 allow access

Individuals have the right to request we provide access to and make corrections to their personal data. There are some exceptions, such as cases in which providing access would cause immediate harm to the safety, or physical or mental heath, of the individual; threaten the safety, or physical or mental health, of another individual; or reveal another individual’s personal data.

#4 update data regularly

We must make a reasonable effort to ensure that all personal data collected is accurate and complete. Allow your customers to correct their data and prompt them update regularly. It is likely that the personal data will be used to make a decision that affects the individual to whom it relates, or is likely to be disclosed to another organisation.

#5 protection of data

You must protect personal data in your possession or control by making reasonable security arrangements to prevent unauthorised access, collection, use, disclosure, copying, modification, disposal or similar activity. If your business wants to store personal data in the cloud, you should take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer of data to the cloud complies with the PDPA’s data protection laws.

Most of the privacy breaches occur because of human error. Simply leaving your laptop unattended or forgetting to shred personal information before disposal could lead to personal data leaks. Ensure that your employees are aware and trained of how to collect, process, store and dispose of personal data to minimise such mistakes.

Delegate the task, not the responsibility.

If you engage 3rd parties and need to pass on your customer’s personal data to these vendors, it is your due diligence to do extensive research to see if the company is reliable. Read the security and privacy policies of the companies that you are giving your customers’ data to. You are still partially liable if there is any privacy breach on the 3rd party side.

#6 purge what you don’t need

You must cease retaining documents containing personal data, or anonymise that data, as soon as it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected, or for other legal or business purposes. If your customers request for their data to be deleted, you should comply. If your business maintains physical or electronic records of personal data, these records have to be disposed appropriately, as stipulated in the PDPA.

#7 keep within bounds

You should not transfer personal data outside Singapore except in accordance with the Act’s requirements. If you must transfer it to another region, be certain that you have obtained consent from your customers prior to the transfer and ensure that the external company has a comparable standard of data protection.

#8 be transparent

Your business should always have a detailed privacy policy for all to access and read. Be prepared to answer all your customer’s concerns regarding privacy and data protection. If you make the necessary effort to protect your customers’ personal data, your customers will thank you for it!

At EventNook, we deal with a lot of personal data, so we practice extra caution in data handling and take pride in our commitment to protect all our customers’ personal data while delivering the results. If you have any questions on our data protection policies for your events, feel free to drop us an email or a call, our friendly team will be more than happy to assist you!

Winning in Disruption: Deloitte’s VIP Registration Experience

Posted on by carinazhang9

To ensure the VIP experience for every premium guest, we need to perfect everything by preparing early and comprehensively.

Deloitte is a multinational professional services network. As one of the “Big Four” accounting organisations, it is the largest professional services network in the world by revenue and number of professionals. Deloitte Singapore is affiliated to Deloitte Southeast Asia Ltd, a member of Deloitte Asia Pacific Limited and of the Deloitte Network.

A part of Deloitte CFO program, Asia Pacific CFO Vision 2019 Singapore, is a one-day exclusive conference for more than 100 of the world’s leading CFOs. The conference provides the opportunity to hear from top leaders and peers on how to address the increasing complexities and disruptions in business—and the world. For this year’s conference, EventNook was engaged to provide a VIP registration experience for the guests. To truly embrace Deloitte’s statement of “good isn’t good enough”, everything was prepared with precision and the highest standard, from badge designing to check-in support.

Here is a video of the smart check-in registration:

Self Check-In using QR Code with On Demand Badge Printing

Checking in can be a frustrating process, but we don’t want the first thing that the CFOs experience in this conference of easing disruption to be, a disruption. In order to deliver seamless registration on the event day, we need to make sure everything to be perfect beforehand, including badge design, badge material, printer, ink, onsite support, and so on. To do so, we create and stick with a comprehensive action timeline during preparation. As an intermediate service provider, we work closely with multiple entities: venues, badge suppliers, event organisers, and/or event management agencies, and so on, to ensure that the road to the event day goes smoothly.

Action timeline

  • One week before the event, we finalised the badge art-work with the designer of the badge before sending it out for mass printing. Specially for Deloitte’s event, we chose a thick, laminated art card for its aesthetic value and tear-proof feature.
  • Three days before the event, we have received the badges from the supplier and can begin working with the organiser to create and test the badge template (fields to be printed, font, spacing, bold/normal/inclined/underlined, position are subject to changes at this stage).
  • Two days before the event, we tested every device(printer, IOS device, laptop) ensuring that they are charged and well-functioning.
  • One day before the event, our onsite support specialists went down to the venue and did a full set-up to demonstrate the registration process and provided the product training to event agents and Deloitte team. At this stage, some minor changes regarding the badge template can be made. This event brought something new for the EventNook team – the customised kiosk(image below) the Deloitte team had custom made for the event. We prepared for the real event day by incorporating our devices with the kiosk before the event to ensure a smooth set-up and functionality for the event day.
  • On the event day, our onsite support specialists were at the registration site to monitor the check-in flow and on-the-spot troubleshooting.
The customized kiosk

The VIP registration process went as planned, checking in 250 guests within 30 minutes. Staff with Deloitte assisted the guests with their check-in and badge printing, with the queues for each counter at less than 3 guests at any point of time. At the end of the day, feedback like “You really pulled it off. I don’t need to worry at all” was received and we at EventNook are appreciative of this opportunity. We look forward to supporting yet another Deloitte event in the future!

How many check-in counters do I need for onsite badge printing?

Posted on by carinazhang9

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
1001-2
5005-6
100010-12

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.

Check out our demo video to see how EventNook helps with large event check-in:

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.

See a demo for the three-way self check-in:

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.

What’s QR Code?

Posted on by eventnook
Scan this QR code for URL information

QR Code (abbreviated from Quick Response Code) is quite similar to a barcode which contains machine-readable data (alpha numeric A123456 like ID or characters). Unlike a regular barcode, QR Code is two dimensional, i.e. it contains information both in vertical and horizontal directions (black dotted within square shape) therefore, it can contain a lot more information.

The limitation of barcode is that it can contact only simple and short length of limited characters like 10 digits such as Product ID (For example, A0001).
