GoSec 2024

Key numbers: 

  • 1,500 attendees
  • 3x registration booths
  • 2x BadgeIt! registration staff

Challenges:

GoSec, a leading cybersecurity conference in Montréal, Quebec, encountered several operational challenges as it expanded its hybrid event format:

  • Long Registration Queues: Manual check-in processes led to significant delays, frustrating attendees and straining event staff resources.
  • Frequent Badge Printing Errors: Pre-printed badges often contained inaccuracies, such as incorrect names or company details
  • Badge Misuse and Security Issues: Instances of badge reuse and unauthorized access to restricted areas posed security concerns 
  • Limited Post-Event Insights: A lack of detailed analytics hindered GoSec’s ability to understand attendee flow, and plan for future events.

Solutions Implemented & Results:

EPEAK Studio implemented BadgeIt! as a comprehensive, technology-driven solution tailored to address GoSec’s challenges:

  • Automated QR Code Check-In: Each attendee received a unique QR code pre-event, enabling swift, error-free check-ins in less than 30 seconds, effectively eliminating long queues.
  • Self-Service Badge Printing: On-site kiosks allowed attendees to make real-time corrections to their badges before printing, reducing errors and enhancing the attendee experience.
  • Enhanced Security Features: Advanced tracking monitored badge usage and controlled access to restricted areas, preventing misuse and ensuring only authorized attendees could enter.
  • Comprehensive Post-Event Analytics: A detailed analytics dashboard provided insights into attendee flow, informing data-driven decisions for future events.
