Think back to all the events you’ve attended in person this year. What was the check-in process like? Was it with a traditional pen-to-paper approach? Did you have to stand around in line? Or was it as quick and easy as scanning your badge on your way in? Many event organizers opt for contactless check-in methods since it’s a hassle-free, fast, and safe way to manage check-in without long lines at the registration desk.
