Guide
QR codes for events: tickets, schedules and check-in
Short answer: use one dynamic code for everything that may change (schedule, map, links) and static codes for things that never change (Wi-Fi). Print them big – people scan banners from a distance.
Ideas
- Schedule: the programme as a PDF on a dynamic code – update it until the doors open.
- Links page: tickets, map, livestream, sponsors and social media behind one code.
- Wi-Fi: a static Wi-Fi code at the entrance and on tables.
- Badges: each speaker’s contact card.
- Feedback: a code at the exit to your survey.
Check-in and tickets
Ticket QR codes are usually generated by the ticketing system (each one unique). Use GITECHY QR for the codes around the event: where to buy tickets, the schedule, the venue map.
Sizes
| Where | Code width |
|---|---|
| Badge | 2.5–3 cm (1–1.2 in) |
| Table card | 4–5 cm (1.6–2 in) |
| Roll-up banner | 20–30 cm (8–12 in) |
| Stage screen | Big and long enough – 10 seconds at least |
Next year
Point the same dynamic code to the next edition – the forwarding is included for 5 years.
Questions
Can I see how many visitors scanned?
Yes – dynamic codes show scans per day and phone system, without personal data.
