How school open house events are using EventNook registration platform to increase attendance

Choosing the right school is often seen as a major milestone for students and their parents. Asides from the academic achievements, many students are placing more emphasis on how the schools can aid and guide them in their holistic development. 

Open houses play an important role for the schools to attract and recruit a new batch of students every year. It is often seen as the first impression of the school to impress and welcome aspiring students. The students, with their parents, can get to understand more about the programs and experience the schools offer through opportunities to meet with the senior students and teachers before making their decisions.

EventNook is proud to have empowered several local and international schools based in Singapore by digitalizing the registration and check-in processes for the open houses and various activities. 

With various activities such as guided tours, the Principal’s address, and sharing sessions by the faculty, there is a need to ensure that the crowd control is being well managed. We have received numerous feedback that managing the registration and crowd manually proved to be very time-consuming and taxing. With space limitations as one of the major constraints, most schools face the same problems when receiving a high registration rate from aspiring students and their parents.

As the world and technologies have evolved, manual registration, like in the old day, is not acceptable anymore. Schools have to do engagement and promotion of the upcoming activities on social media channels timely.

As the world evolves, technologies become readily available to help ease the slow, manual processes of the good old days. Digitalization and engaging the students through social media channels become inevitable for most schools.

The ease of the registration process and the timeliness of marketing with email reminders play a critical role in a successful turnout rate, even for schools that do not have any problems with garnering the interest of students. When the registration process is too deemed to be too troublesome, it will have an increased frustration which will have a huge impact on the registration and turnout rate.

Registration by timeslot and capacity control example

EventNook has helped several schools and their administration teams run their events efficiently and effectively. With innovative ways of managing the event registration process, engagements have increased significantly, and the team can focus more on creating a better experience for the students. 

The school team can easily manage the entire event with a simple and user-friendly administrative portal. 

EventNook’s simple and powerful event registration management platform

With EventNook, schools can professionally create and manage their open house event in minutes and create and launch Event Websites, Ticket Sales, and Registration in minutes. Here are some of our main features that can be utilized in managing your Open House event:

  1. Launch event site in minutes
  2. The automated end-to-end registration process
  3. Managing booking and timeslot with capacity control
  4. Automated emails, such as Confirmation emails, Reminder Emails, etc.
  5. Monitor attendance status in real-time
  6. Smart Check-in with QR Scan and onsite registration process

Here is how EventNook check-in manages guest registration at the event

We also provide onboarding assistance, such as product training to onsite training, so you are in good hands to run a big school event.

[Case Study] How EventNook Empowers Corporate Conferences with Seamless and No Queue VIP Registration Experience

Cities of the Future is an annual event hosted by IMG that discusses innovative solutions and technologies to build the connected city of the future in the ASEAN cities. This event is taking place at Hilton Orchard on Wednesday, 2 March 2022. 

This gathering of civic, corporate, and startup leaders, all of whom are involved in driving the growth, planning, and development of ASEAN cities, looked at city development strategies as well as the deployment of new solutions and technology to create the connected city of the future. A full day of case studies, panels, keynotes, roundtables, pitching, and workshops was held for delegates.

For two years in a row (2021 and 2022) EventNook has helped them in succeeding the event. We provided the smart and seamless check-in with a badge printing solution for this event to streamline the onsite registration process but still stick to the safe management measures (SMM) provided by Singapore Tourism Board (STB) and directly worked with the event organiser.

In this event, we provided several services as mentioned below:

Onsite Mobile Kiosk Check-in with QR Code

To minimize the touchpoints on the event site, QR Code check-in is really helpful. The delegates only need to show their QR Code to the screen of a gadget that is connected to the badge printer and they will be seamlessly checked-in in 3 seconds. 

Zone and Table Number 

Due to the Covid-19 cases in Singapore, the Safety Management Measure allowed conducting events with zoning requirements to prevent more spread of the virus. As for the MICE events, the guests are generally provided with the designated sear. The organizer can easily send out each guest’s zone and table number through email with one click. The email can be personalized. This detailed information on zone and table numbers will help the guests to proceed to their seats in a well-organized process.

Personalized Email Template

For events, an email blast is needed to inform the delegates about important details related to the event. It could be a Confirmation Email, Pending Email, Cancellation Email, or any other kind of information that can be sent through email. With our feature, event managers can personalize the content of the email depending on what is needed, consisting of the Zone and Table Number. No need to send each zone and number one by one but it can be easily done with one click. 

Instant Badge Printing

We provided Instant Badge Printing with environmentally friendly badge paper and don’t require additional plastic badge holders. Besides saving the earth from plastic waste, it also saves more waiting time for inserting the badge inside the holder. 

Equipment Rental and Setup

To access the onsite check-in and badge printing, the organizer will need the equipment, such as an iPad and badge printer. Some organizers might not have their own iPad and badge printer so we give them a solution by renting our products and being set up by our team. It will ease the process since the organizer doesn’t need another vendor to provide the equipment. 

The organizer can also monitor the attendance in real-time to see the guest registration status,  how many guests, VIPs, speakers, and delegates have arrived, and how many haven’t to do coordination with the other team members. It can be monitored through EventNook Kiosk App or the website. 

EventNook is proud to take part in a success story of another successful corporate conference that discussed innovative solutions and technologies to build the connected city of the future in the ASEAN cities.

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

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.
