Event QR Codes: One scan for tickets, schedules and updates

Put QR codes on posters, badges, signs and slides that open your ticket page, schedule, check-in or registration form, the venue Wi-Fi or a WhatsApp help line. Plans change; with dynamic codes, the printed signs keep up.

Why it works

Why event organisers use dynamic QR codes

Print early, change your mind late.

Keep up with changes

New schedule, a room change or sold-out tickets? Change the link and every poster and badge follows.

Registration and check-in

Link a code to your registration or check-in form, so guests sign in on their own phones.

See what draws attention

Compare scans from posters, flyers and slides, by day, hour and location.

Venue Wi-Fi

A Wi-Fi code on badges and signs gets everyone online without queues at the help desk.

Help by WhatsApp

A WhatsApp code gives guests a direct line for questions and directions.

Switch off afterwards

Pause codes when the event ends and show your own message, such as See you next year.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use QR codes for event check-in?

Yes, by linking a code to your check-in or registration form, for example one from your ticketing service or a form builder. QR-Genie makes and tracks the code; the form itself stays with the service you use.

Can I change the link after the posters are printed?

Yes. Dynamic codes hold a short QR-Genie link, so you can send scans to a new page at any time.

Can I see which poster gets the most scans?

Give each poster or channel its own code and compare their scans by day, hour, country and device in your analytics.

What happens to the codes after the event?

Pause them and show your own message, point them at next year's page, or leave them as they are. Paused codes can be switched back on any time.

Do guests need an app to scan event QR codes?

No. The cameras on recent iPhones and Android phones scan QR codes directly.
