Your Time Is Valuable. The Event Must Deliver.

So much to do, so little time

Events and exhibitions offer plenty to explore: seminars, networking and an array of companies whose salespeople want to meet you. With time short, anything that speeds up the door or the session scan gives you minutes back for what you came to do.

Have a good experience

At a well-run show, you tap or scan as you enter a session, ask for information or take a survey. Your education credits add up accurately and your inquiry gets a real answer. When it does not work that way, it usually helps to know what is going on behind the badge, and who to ask.

Even more possibilities

Badges and passes are getting more flexible. A changed session schedule can often update your access right away, with no need to wait for a new badge. The articles below explain how your credential works, what it records about you and how to get more from it.
