GoSec 2025

Speed up your badge pick-up lines by accepting QR code scans for check-in. This helps your attendees retrieve their badge quickly.

About GoSecure

Gosec is a leading yearly cybersecurity conference in Montréal, Québec.

It offers two days of rich learning and networking opportunities for cybersecurity professionals.

BadgeIt! was a savior for this edition of GoSec. After a complicated experience last year, EPEAK Studio quickly identified how to implement their solution. The automated check-in and self-service badge printing streamlined the on-site registration process, while their post-event analytics provided invaluable insights for next year.

The Challenge

GoSec is a premier cybersecurity conference held in Montreal, Quebec.

Last year, the event partnered with BadgeIt for the first time to streamline the registration process and simplify on-site badge printing.

Building on that success, GoSec has expanded the partnership this year—entrusting BadgeIt with the entire registration experience. This includes a custom registration website and a personalized analytics dashboard, designed to make event management smoother and more insightful than ever.

What we did

Badgeit.io offers a comprehensive set of features that were key to elevating Gosec 25’s check-in experience. Here’s what BadgeIt! offers:

Custom registration website

We built a custom registration website, tailored to Gosecure’s requirements. With BadgeIt!’s custom registration website, no more third-party registration platform limitations.

With our native integration with BadgeIt’s printing system and leading event platforms, no need to worry about manual data transfers.

QR Code Check-In System

Checking in is simple with BadgeIt! With our QR code system, attendees simply go to a self-serve kiosk, scan their code, verify their information and print their badge – in as little as 20 seconds. 

Self-Service Badge Printing

Thanks to our self-service kiosks, attendees are able to correct any errors such as name spelling before printing their badge.

By avoiding pre-printing badges and using high-speed on-demand badge printers, we speed up badge retrieval and make your event more sustainable.

Hybrid Event Support

Our system handles virtual event ticket holders separately, ensuring they are not able to print a badge and making sure that information is properly separated.

Enhanced Badge Security & Access Control

BadgeIt includes native monitoring features, including badge usage and reprint tracking to prevent misuse including duplication. For restricted areas, our system allows for easy badge scanning by security personnel, preventing unauthorized access.

Easy Networking Tools

Our solution is fully integrated with GoSec’s event platform, Swapcard, and we use this to facilitate networking. Natively, a QR code is printed on every badge, and this code can be scanned to immediately request a connection from the event app.

This makes connecting easy, instant, and removes the need for physical business cards or complex third-party apps.

Custom Post-Event Analytics

With our client’s input, we built a custom analytics dashboard with their own KPIs. Because BadgeIt is a fully integrated end-to-end solution, we fine-tune data collection and provide accurate, customized reports. These metrics include attendee behavior, session popularity, booth engagement, and overall event participation.

This equips GoSec with all the data required to make informed decisions for future events or outreach campaigns.

Professional Event Aesthetics

The customizable, on-demand badges helped GoSec maintain a cohesive and professional event identity, enhancing both the aesthetic and the functionality of the event.

Results

In summary, BadgeIt.io transformed GoSec 25’s check-in and attendee management experience through its seamless, end-to-end event technology.

By delivering a custom registration website, a fast and intuitive QR code check-in system, and self-service badge printing, BadgeIt eliminated inefficiencies and enhanced attendee autonomy.

Its integrated hybrid event support, robust badge security, and access control measures ensured a smooth and secure experience for both in-person and virtual participants. Additionally, networking was simplified through QR-enabled badges linked to the event app, while custom analytics dashboards provided GoSec with valuable post-event insights.

Altogether, BadgeIt.io elevated GoSec 25’s check-in experience, aesthetics, and data-driven decision-making, setting a new standard for professional event management.
