Onsite Badging, Part Three

This week, our focus is on customization as we pose an essential question to three leading AI programs. With three decades of experience in the event industry, TPNI has found that AI brings fresh perspectives to the challenges of event planning. We asked ChatGPT, Gemini by Google, and Bing’s Co-Pilot to provide their insights on this week’s question.

Now that both ChatGPT and Co-Pilot have weighed in, here’s what Gemini by Google had to say:

Mobile apps have revolutionized the way event check-ins are handled, offering several key benefits:  

  1. Speed and Efficiency:
    • QR Code Scanning: Attendees can quickly scan QR codes on their tickets or within the app, eliminating the need for manual entry and reducing wait times.  
    • Barcode Verification: Similar to QR codes, barcodes can be scanned for instant verification.  
  2. Data Collection and Analysis:
    • Real-Time Data: Apps can collect attendee information in real-time, including names, contact details, and registration data.  
    • Data Analysis: This data can be analyzed to provide valuable insights into attendance patterns, demographics, and event success.  
  3. Improved Attendee Experience:
    • Convenience: Attendees can check in directly from their smartphones, eliminating the need for paper tickets or physical check-in stations.  
    • Personalized Experience: Apps can offer personalized features based on attendee preferences and registration data.  
  4. Enhanced Security:
    • Fraud Prevention: Apps can help prevent ticket fraud by verifying authenticity and tracking ticket usage.  
    • Access Control: They can be integrated with access control systems to restrict entry to authorized individuals.
  5. Cost Savings:
    • Reduced Paper Usage: By eliminating paper tickets and check-in forms, apps can significantly reduce costs associated with printing and distribution.  
    • Streamlined Operations: Efficient check-in processes can lead to reduced labor costs and improved overall event management.  

In summary, mobile apps have become an essential tool for streamlining event check-ins, providing a more efficient, convenient, and secure experience for both attendees and organizers.
