QR codes for events
An event changes until the last minute and gets printed weeks in advance. A speaker drops out, a room moves, a slot shifts — but the schedule hanging at the entrance is the one from the day it went to print. With a dynamic QR code that sign stays valid, because what changes is the page behind it.
The numbers behind this choice
These are product figures, not market estimates: you can check every one of them on the pricing page or in the generator.
0
signs to reprint when the schedule changes
The code on a badge, a ticket or a stand is never touched: the page it leads to is what changes.
1
code for the entire life of the event
The same QR leads to the schedule before, to announcements during and to the handouts afterwards.
5
dynamic QR codes on the free plan
With 1,000 scans a month recorded: enough for a single edition, and no card details.
4
analytics views for every code
Scans day by day, devices, country and city, latest reads: which material was actually used becomes visible.
Where it makes your life easier
Stage by stage, what changes the day the printed code stops being a final decision.
Before — invitations, tickets and save-the-dates
Without an editable code
The address has to be settled before printing, so the event page must be finished by the time invitations go out.
With a dynamic QR code
The code goes to print immediately and points at a bare page, which fills up while the invitations are already out there.
Set-up — signage, stands and schedules
Without an editable code
Every panel tells the schedule of the day it was printed: one change means reprinting all of them.
With a dynamic QR code
The panel leads to the live schedule. Update one page and the whole venue is updated with it, wherever a sign happens to hang.
During — the last-minute changes
Without an editable code
A room change is announced out loud and with a handwritten sheet taped over the panel.
With a dynamic QR code
You change the destination from your phone, standing in the room, and anyone scanning the panel already reads the new time.
On site — badges and attendee material
Without an editable code
The badge carries a long address to type out, or nothing at all: anyone who wants the material asks at the desk.
With a dynamic QR code
The badge carries a code: venue map, speaker contact, feedback form, Wi-Fi network. No queue and no typing.
After — handouts, feedback and the next edition
Without an editable code
Once the event is over the printed material is waste paper, and so is the link it carried.
With a dynamic QR code
The same code now leads to the slides, the photos and the feedback form — and later to sign-up for the next edition.
What you get out of it
The printed schedule stays true
The page behind the code is always the latest version: scanning a panel printed three weeks ago shows this morning’s schedule.
A badge that keeps working after the event
When the day ends, the same code stops being a schedule and becomes the material archive. Nobody has to print anything else.
You know which material was actually used
Scans per code, day by day: which panel, which room and which moment worked stops being a feeling.
Wi-Fi and contacts work with no signal
The network password and vCard contacts are static codes: they live inside the image and read fine in a basement hall with no reception.
Where it is used
Schedule and venue map
One code at the entrance and one per floor: whatever opens is always the current version, even minutes after a change.
Attendee badges and passes
Printed in bulk days ahead, useful for the whole event and afterwards too, when they point at the material.
Stands and room signage
Talk title, speaker bio, slides to download: content that changes on a surface that does not.
Tickets, invitations and save-the-dates
Sent weeks ahead, when all the event really has is a date: the page behind the code fills in as you go.
In short
Event organisers always print too early, because there is no other way. A dynamic QR code does not shorten those lead times: it removes the penalty attached to them, which is that any change after printing costs a reprint.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change the schedule after the signage is printed?
Yes. The signage carries a code pointing at a short address of ours: update the schedule page and anyone scanning that code — even on a panel that has been hanging for weeks — sees the current version.
Does the person scanning need a connection?
For a dynamic code, yes: the phone has to reach the short address to learn where to go. That is why the Wi-Fi password and contact details are better as static codes, which work offline because the information lives inside the image.
How many QR codes does an event need?
It depends how much you want to tell apart: one code for the whole event works, but one per panel or per room tells you which material was actually used. The free plan includes 5 dynamic codes with 1,000 scans a month recorded.
What happens to badges after the event?
They stay readable and keep working: you can move the destination to the slides, the photos or a feedback form. If you would rather close things off, a deactivated code shows a courtesy page instead of an error.
