QR codes for events
From the first poster to the post-event survey, a QR code keeps attendees moving without queues or printed handouts.
What to link to
The QR codes event organizers use most
Events run on information that changes. QR codes let you print once and update the page behind it.
Where to put them
Placement ideas that get scanned
Think about the attendee journey: before, arriving, during and after.
Entrance & signage
Show the schedule, map and WiFi to everyone arriving.
Tables & stands
A code per table or stand for menus, products or feedback.
Exit & screens
A feedback form code at the exit, or on the final slide.

Tips for events
Events have crowds, poor signal and tired people. Design for that.
-
Print large at the entrance — people scan from a queue, not from arm's length.
-
Plan for weak mobile signal — offer WiFi, and keep the destination page light.
-
Use a different code per purpose — so you can tell what's working.
-
Test at the venue — lighting and signal can change how well a code scans.

FAQ
QR codes for events: your questions
Is a QR code the same as a ticket?
No. A generic QR code just opens a link. Ticket check-in codes are unique per attendee and come from your ticketing system. Use QR codes to send people to those tickets.
Can I make a code for every attendee?
Yes, with the bulk generator you can create a code per row of a CSV, for example one personal link per attendee.
How early should I print?
Make the codes first, test with several phones, then print. Changing a destination after printing means reprinting.
Do I need to pay for these QR codes?
No. BestQR is free: no sign-up, no watermark and no expiry. The codes are static, so they keep working as long as the page they point to does.
