Cadmium offers two badging solutions that both require the use of Registration. Customers who would like to take advantage of Cadmium’s session scanning and/or lead retrieval solutions must select one check-in and badging solution.
Basic Badges
With the Basic Badge option, event planners design a badge layout for their attendees in Registration which is then generated into a PDF and printed on standard badge stock paper, via any desktop inkjet printer or laser printer by the event planner. This can be done all at once prior to the event or one at a time onsite at the registration desk. Basic badges are generally preferred for smaller events with manageable attendee totals.
On-demand Badges
With the On-demand Badge option, event planners design a badge layout for their attendees and email a preview of the badge and a check-in QR code to attendees in a Know Before You Go message. Once onsite for the event, attendees scan the QR code at an on-demand badge.
printing kiosk or enter their email (if enabled) to check themselves in and print their own badge using a Zebra badge printer. This modern and streamlined check-in and badging process requires minimal onsite support staff at the registration desk and provides event planners with real-time check-in data and reports. On-demand badges are a great solution for events of any size and are highly recommended for events with larger attendee totals.
