[Case Study] How EventNook helped the Shipyard Naming Ceremony with fast and seamless registration management

Posted on by eventnookteam
Shipyard Naming Ceremony Event in Singapore

In December 2021, EventNook has helped Sembcorp Marine with its event registration management system for the Shipyard Naming Ceremony event of the Regional Production Facility (RPF) for Shell Offshore Inc which was successfully completed and ready to commission. It’s named Vito [Learn more].

Sembcorp has decided to do the in-person physical event with special guests who are the engineers, staff, and VIP guests who have contributed to this significant project. The event planner got only less than 10 days to make it happen as it was the last-minute approval to host the physical event. The event team has to make it happen very quickly and efficiently to manage the event invitation, registration (RSVP), and onsite guest management with safe management measures (SMM).

Here is how guests check-in with EventNook Check-in Kiosk and instant badge printing.

Onsite Guest Check-in and Badge Printing on Shipyard Naming Ceremony

The EventNook helped the organizer with the following services to streamline the event management and manage efficiently in a timely manner when the lead time is very short.

  • RSVP with Zone Assignment (Up to 50 guests per zone)
  • Automated Event Reminder Email Blast
  • Equipment Rental and Onsite Registration Supervision

With a simple and easy-to-setup EventNook Registration Platform, the organizer can easily set up the online event registration site in 30 minutes without product training and he sent out invitations to all guests to simply RSVP online immediately. As the online registration site is mobile-friendly, the guests can easily RSVP in less than 2 minutes on the go via their mobile.

Once the guests complete the registration, the confirmation email will be immediately sent to their registered email along with the QR Code that later will be used for the Touchless Smart QR Code Check-in.

EventNook provided Equipment Rental and Fuss-free Onsite Setup for the event. It’s very important for the organizer not to have a long queue and long waiting time at the registration counter with a minimum touchpoint in this COVID-19 Pandemic. With EventNook’s fast and touchless QR check-in process, the guests can check-in and collect their badge in 3 seconds. The attendees checked into four different zones and when they arrived by shuttle buses with 40 attendees in a time, it only took around 3-5 minutes for them to check in.

Since our onsite check-in platform provides a real-time attendance dashboard, the organizer can coordinate efficiently with Emcee and its team to kick start the ceremony.

The organizer is delighted with the fast, smooth, and innovative registration process as it gave a great experience to their guests attending the naming ceremony on the auspicious day of the shipyard.

We are happy that the event runs smoothly and are delighted to have a contribution to this event. Are you planning an event that requires a fast and seamless event registration service? Do not hesitate to contact us at hello@eventnook.com and we will be glad to provide a free consultation.

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!

SG SafeEvents Certification

Posted on by Kaung Set
STB’s annual Tourism Industry Conference on April 7, 2021

Singapore introduced a new certification program called SG SafeEvents Certification for large scale events to be conducted with hygiene benchmarks and safe-distancing best practices.

During this challenging pandemic period, the Singapore government and associations have been formulating and imposing necessary standards and new regulations for each respective industry to minimize the risk of COVID-19 infection and to restart the MICE industry, and SG SafeEVents Certification will play a vital role for the event organizing to reborn again.   

Let’s go further in-depth about SG SafeEvents Certification by discussing the following topics.

  • What is SG SafeEvents Certification?
  • Why would we need SG SafeEvents Certification?
  • How can we get certified?
Antigen Rapid Test at STB’s annual Tourism Industry Conference on April 7, 2021

What is SG SafeEvents Certification?

The SG SafeEvents Certification program launched at the Tourism Industry Conference by the Singapore Association of Convention and Exhibition Organizers and Suppliers (SACEOS) is aimed at event organizers, venue owners, and suppliers’ competitive edge, a mark of assurance in a COVID-19 safe marketplace. The SG SafeEvents Standard is to be used in conjunction with WHO Guidelines and all other prevailing Singapore national standards, such as SG Clean, to ensure you can organize and execute your event in a safe, sustainable and responsible manner. 

The certification program is based on the Technical Reference (TR) 84 “Safe event management for the events industry”, developed by the Singapore Standards Council (SSC) and overseen by Enterprise Singapore (ESG). TR 84 is a paid guide that lists recommended best practices in hygiene and sanitization, safe distancing and emergency management for business events beyond the government-mandated Safe Management Measures (SMM). It also referenced the Events Industry Resilience Roadmap (IRR) released by SACEOS in October 2020, which guides organizing safe business events, solutions for hybrid events and new capabilities needed to transform the industry.

Why would we need SG SafeEvents Certification?

The Straits Times stated that the program, announced at STB’s annual Tourism Industry Conference, will run for three years, after which there may be plans to use the experience gained to turn the SG SafeEvents Certification into a full-fledged Singapore standard. Moreover, under the best practices of Event Industry Resilience Road Map Guideline (IRR), it also urged the MICE players to attain SG SafeEvent certifications and work only with certified SG SafeEvent Venues and SG SafeEvent Suppliers. Therefore, it would be no doubt that it can become a nationwide standard certificate every event industry player should have to display or assure that they meet Singapore government standards, ensuring conference attendees and their partners. 

How can we get certified?

Generally, the following aspects would be covered to get SG SafeEvents certified.

  • Event organizers must have risk management plans, documentation of identified hazards and necessary control measures to be implemented before, during and post the events 
  • Venue Operators must develop routine and periodic cleaning and disinfection plans 
  • Organizers and venue operators are encouraged to use contactless technology where feasible.
  • Protocols are needed to put in place to contain and manage emergencies.

Moreover, according to Event Industry Resilience Road Map Guideline (IRR), technology adoption in registration management becomes viable and best practices for event organizers in event planning and management. In IRR best practices, it is also recommended to do contactless registration, health screening by asking health assessment questions and perform with clear signages, thermal cameras and temperature checks at all entry points. 

In those aspects, you need to consider using technology advancements such as QR codes, RFID Badge or facial recognition for contactless registration and event check-in. And if touchless registration is not practicable, you need to control the access in advance – start from pre-event registration of stakeholders to ensure the number of people onsite and distribute tickets, badges ahead of time to reduce touch points upon entry. But that manual process can delay the working process and make it challenging to manage the registration in huge events unless using event registration management software like EventNook.

Zone assignment

EventNook can help your attendees to have the unique QR code when they registered and scan it on their own on EventNook mobile self check-in kiosks. And attendees can even print the personalised badge with name, zone and table number assigned at the onsite independently with no waiting time by reducing the touch points and avoiding the crowded situation as you see in the video below.

Moreover, it should be considered for health and screening safety measures to use an AI temperature scanner, constant temperature monitoring token, disinfection mist tunnel, and anti-microbial coating of common surface areas. 

Suppose you wish to be certified under the provisional standard or learn more about the certification process. In that case, you can register for the industry briefing next month by emailing SACEOS secretariat@saceos.org.sg.

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!

5 Most Common Event Management Mistakes Which Could Compromise Your Privacy

Posted on by veratanevnk

Only 3% of cyber crimes are due to technical flaws and weak security. Then what are the causes for the other 97% of cyber crimes? According to Medium, employee errors are responsible for the majority of security and privacy breaches. All it takes is one unknowing employee to click on a malicious link, or to leave an unlocked laptop unattended, for an organisation’s personal data records to be leaked. In the events industry, while we collect a lot of personal data, we have also spotted many experienced companies with negligent practices throughout the course of our business.

Here are the top mistakes made by event management companies

#1 ‘Find your own names’

It can be really chaotic during event registrations, especially when there are so many people streaming in all at once. Searching for names from a huge pile of name badges is like searching for a needle in a haystack and you may be tempted to take what seems to be the easiest way out: Pre-printing name badges with personal information on it and displaying it on the table for all to see. Although having more pairs of eyes searching may help you save time, you may receive complaints regarding potential personal data breach as you are revealing your guests’ data for everyone else to see.

What can I do then? Either hide these name badges behind the counter where only your event staff can see, or use a smart QR check-in and onsite badge printing service where you can print name badges instantly in under 2 seconds after the guest registers with a QR code.

#2 Not disabling ‘ Auto-Fill ‘ function

This is a common mistake when you need your guests to key in their personal data on digital devices on the spot, for walk-in registrations or lucky draws. When your device’s auto-fill is enabled, just keying in an alphabet or a number could reveal a whole list of related personal data of previous registrants. Don’t put yourself at risk of personal data breach, remember to disable ‘Auto-Fill’.

#3 Using sign-in books

Even if you don’t use digital devices to register your guests, you still have a high chance committing a privacy breach if you use sign-in books. Imagine if you are holding a recruitment event and you have your potential candidates register in the sign-in book. A potential candidate could glance through the names who could be vying for the same role and could find ways to undermine the other candidates when speaking to the potential hiring managers.

You could either have your event crew register your guests themselves after verifying their identity by requesting for their business cards or last 3 digits of NRIC number.

#4 Forgetting to log out

At EventNook, many event organisers rent our iPads for registrations and use our event management software to track their ticket sales and attendees. However, after the event, we noticed that many would forget to log out of our application on the iPads. This could be a problem if we passed on the iPads to the next event manager, as they could access the previous records and sensitive data.

Hence as part of our best practice, the EventNook team will always ensure that these personal data would not be accidentally passed on to others as we will always do a check to ensure all accounts are logged-out, before handing the device over.

#5 Event part-timers’/volunteers’ error

No matter how careful you are with personal data, you must ensure that your event helpers are as cautious as you are. Many event managers are aware of such privacy risks, yet they forget to thoroughly brief the rest of the team about the do’s and don’ts when handling personal data.

If you have an event coming up, as a manager, it is your responsibility to look for a reliable vendor who will protect your attendees’ data. At EventNook, we respect the privacy of all individuals and strive to provide the ease of mind to all our customers when handling personal data. If you have any concerns regarding data protection for your events, or if you simply want to know more about our privacy policy, please email: hello@eventnook.com

Are You Still Collecting NRIC Data? Time To Stop!

Posted on by veratanevnk
NRIC law PDPA 2019

If you are still collecting your customer’s NRIC data, you probably haven’t heard of the new law that kicked in on 1st September 2019. The new law prohibits holding or making physical copies of NRICs and the collection of full NRIC numbers unless required by the law. According to the Personal Data Protection Commission, this law applies to birth certificate numbers, passport numbers, drivers’ license, foreign identification numbers and work permit numbers as well. Unless you are a government body, this new law will affect your business.

Singapore has significantly tightened the law on NRIC collection, use, disclosure and storage, however, in specified circumstances, you may still collect NRIC data. Under the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), such circumstances are referred to as “Permitted Situations”, which include:

  • Situations where the collection, use, or disclosure is required by the law or is an exception under the PDPA. However, you should still ensure that you have done due diligence in ensuring that you have informed your customers of the purpose of collection, use, or disclosure.
  • Situations where it is absolutely necessary to identify the individual to a high level of fidelity.

How do we determine when it is necessary? Generally, when a failure to identify an individual to a high degree of fidelity would pose a significant safety, security, financial, reputational, personal or proprietary risk, NRIC information would be deemed as necessary.

According to the SingaporeLegalAdvice.com, these situations are exceptions:

Collection, use, disclosure versus retention

The law may cut you some slack when it comes to the collection, use, and disclosure of NRIC data if you manage to find a suitable justification. However, this is not the case with retention or storage of NRIC data. Under the new NRIC guidelines, you are only allowed to retain NRIC data only if it is required by the law. Even if you need NRIC data to accurately identify an individual to a high level of fidelity, you should dispose of the data once you have correctly identified that individual.

Therefore, you should take note that even if you are in the clear for collection, use and disclosure of NRIC data, you may not be able to fit the clause related to retention.

Can I request to look at the nric just to verify an individual’s identity?

You may be faced with a situation where you need to verify if you are dealing with the right person and may need to merely take a glance at the individual’s NRIC. In this case, if you have no intention of keeping or obtain control of the individual’s NRIC data, this will not count as a collection of personal data on the physical NRIC.

next steps

Check if your current business procedures or processes require the collection, use or disclosure of NRIC data. If yes, check if it is categorised as a “Permitted Situation”. If it is not a permitted situation, review if it is really necessary to identify your customers to a high degree of fidelity and ensure that you dispose of the NRIC information when it is no longer necessary for business or legal purposes.

“I am still collecting nric data. is it too late to change?”

Better late than never. If you are still collecting NRIC data for event registration or for other reasons, switch up your business processes before you get caught for flouting the PDPA, which could get you fined up to $1 million! Here some quick methods you can use to help you switch away from using NRIC data, yet, still provides the necessary amount of security:

  • Tag your customers with a combination of identifiers (e.g. First Name + Last Name + D.O.B.)
  • Collect only the last 3 digits and the alphabet of the NRIC (e.g. XXXXX123A)

At EventNook, we respect the privacy of all individuals and strive to provide the ease of mind to all our customers when handling personal data. Data safety and privacy is not a one-time job but a commitment. EventNook is committed to continuously improve our customer data safety and privacy to comply with higher standards, beyond the minimum compliance level of GDPR and PDPA.

History Making: Singapore’s First MDRT Day 2018

Posted on by jannelleleong

EventNook Checks-In Over 1,000 Guests in Under an Hour at the Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) Day 2018 with Fast and Seamless Onsite Badge Printing.

  • Credit Source: MDRT Singapore Facebook

EventNook is honoured to have been a part of Singapore’s first MDRT Day on the 28th of August 2018. The prestigious event was held at the Singapore Expo Hall, ushering in over 1,500 guests. With distinguished speakers such as Dr Mary Chen, Jim Pittman and Eric Feng, guests were invited for a full day event to learn from and share their experiences with fellow finance professionals. The EventNook Team is proud to have supported MDRT Day 2018 and we have also learned invaluable lessons from our experience serving a reputable client in a big scale event. 

Our goal for this project was to enable the streamlining of registration for both the online and onsite experience. Attendees were redirected to EventNook’s platform from the main event site through an embedded ticket widget. After making their payment online, they received their unique QR code which would then be their entry ticket during the event. We aimed to create a seamless check-in experience for the guests, minimizing queuing times and increasing efficiency through fast and easy check-in. 

On the 28th of August, our customer success team headed to the Singapore Expo Hall for the set-up of the equipment and prepared to receive the guests. To handle the volume of guests for the event, 12 check-in counters were set up. Each printer was paired with 2 iPads to allow for greater efficiency. Registration began at 7.30am and over the next hour, over 1,500 guests arrived and checked-in. With their QR codes ready before approaching the counters, scanning was done quickly and efficiently. Their name badges were printed on demand and placed in their plastic holders before being passed off together with an event goody bag. 

Here is how we check in over 1,000 people in within 45 minutes and average check-in and badge printing takes 2 seconds.

We would like to congratulate the organisers of MDRT Day 2018 for the success of their first event in Singapore. We appreciate the opportunity given to work alongside all of you and to deliver a smooth and easy registration process for an event of this scale.

Setting Access Codes for Your Event Tickets

Posted on by eventnook

Have guests with VIP status? Or need to hide some tickets from the general public? We just released an update that allows you to select from 3 password protection options to only allow guests with a special password or invitation code access to certain tickets! Scroll below to learn more about which option is most suitable for your event needs!

Password Protection Options

  1. Default (No Password / No Invitation Code)If you are planning a simple, public event that requires no exclusivity in admission tickets, this option is sufficient for your event needs! This option allows guests to publicly access your ticket information and to freely register for all ticket types you offer for your event.
  2. Event Registration with a Password
    For those of you who are planning to host private events, this option is tailored just to your needs! Any guest who plans on registering for the event needs to have an invitation code generated by you. When anyone tries to register for the event, they will be redirected to a page that asks for an invitation code before they can even access the ticket information page. Thus, no one will be able to see your ticket types or prices without an invitation code. This will prevent any uninvited guests or strangers who stumble upon your event page and register for misleading reasons.
  3. Event Registration with Invite Codes for Selected TicketsThis option allows you to set different invitation codes for various ticket types instead of generating one general invitation code for all guests. Thus, only a VIP can purchase a VIP ticket, only a student can purchase a student ticket, and so on. Unlike ‘Event Registration with a Password,’ this option is more suitable for hosting public events but if you plan to have different types of attendees.
    The invitation code verification box will only pop up when guests select a ticket type that requires an invitation code. So anyone will have access to your ticket information page, it simply prevents anyone from registering for a ticket that they are not entitled access to.

To learn how to set access codes for your event tickets, please visit our help page. 

If you still have questions on how to utilize this feature, feel free to reach out to us. Our team will be glad to help you!
