Event check-in system for Hong Kong: QR code, kiosk or staffed counter

Guests scan the QR code from their confirmation email and walk in, with the badge printing as they arrive. No printed lists, no queue out the door, and live attendance on your dashboard.

About 2 seconds per check-in 100 to 300 guests per device, per hour Name search in Chinese
Check-in options

Pick the arrival experience that suits your event

Mix and match: self-service kiosks for most delegates, a staffed desk for VIPs and walk-ins, and scanners at session doors.

QR code scanning

Scan the code from the confirmation email or an Apple or Google Wallet pass. Check-in takes about a second.

Self-service kiosks

Branded touchscreen kiosks with several ways to search and on-demand badge printing. Staff-assisted mode is available too.

Name search

Fuzzy and partial name matching, plus lookup by email, phone or ticket ID. Chinese-name search has been used at real EventNook events.

Laptop or mobile

Run check-in from a laptop, tablet or phone, and print badges from the same station.

On the day

Handles the surprises at the door

Real events never match the guest list exactly. The desk handles changes on the spot, and every change syncs straight back to your registration data.

  • Walk-ins register and pay on the spot, or scan a walk-in QR code to sign up on their own phone
  • Substitutions when a colleague attends in someone else's place
  • Group check-in for delegations arriving together
  • VIP flags and special-assistance notes that show up at the desk
  • Table numbers and lucky draw numbers assigned for dinners and galas
Planning

How many check-in counters do you need?

What matters is the arrival peak, not the total headcount. A morning keynote where everyone arrives within 45 minutes needs far more counters than a two-day exhibition where visitors trickle in.

Our rule of thumb is about six counters for 1,000 guests arriving within one hour. Use the planner for a first estimate, then talk to us: venue layout, walk-in share and badge format all change the answer.

FAQ

Event check-in in Hong Kong: common questions

Can EventNook staff run check-in at our Hong Kong venue?

Yes. Our onsite team has delivered services in Hong Kong and travels in for events that need hands-on support. If you'd rather use your own staff, we train them before the event and support them remotely on the day.

How fast is check-in?

A QR scan takes about a second, and a full check-in with badge printing averages around two seconds. One device typically handles 100 to 300 guests an hour, depending on how guests are searched and how many walk-ins you have.

Can guests be found by their Chinese name?

Yes. Onsite name search in Chinese and badges with Chinese-character names have both been used at real EventNook events. Let us know when you scope the event so we can set it up for your delegate list.

What happens with walk-ins and last-minute changes?

Walk-ins can register and pay at the desk, or scan a walk-in QR code to sign up on their own phone. Staff can substitute guests, edit details and check in groups, and every change syncs to your registration data.

Can we use EventNook check-in if our registration is on another platform?

Yes. Attendee lists can be bulk-uploaded, including an existing QR code ID from another system, so guests can use the code they already have.
