Re: [Coworking] Re: Rewards/Check-in System

Sarah, what platforms do you currently use for your events?

Eventbrite has some pretty slick apps that make it easy to check people
into an event; I imagine that data can be exported and aggregated through a
little bit of magic.

I don't know if any of them fit your precise needs, but there are a number 
of "loyalty card" startups like Perka, Belly and LocalBonus that offer 
punch-card like apps. These are generally designed more for the local 
sandwich/coffee shop ("get your 10th cup free!") but maybe they could be 
used for your purpose as well.

Hi Adrian!

Ideally, this would be something we could set up on a table at the event
and have everyone check themselves in, primarily focused on member events,
but could be when they're just accessing the coworking space or meeting
rooms, too. We don't have member access cards at the moment but I'm not
averse to exploring. What type of reliable member access cards are out
there and what UHF-based radio cards tie into them, that you know of?

[Coworking] Re: Rewards/Check-in System

[Adrian Palacios]

Hi Sarah,

Would checking each attendee in during the events be an option a all? In 
the old days, when we did event management, we used to scan people in to 
the venues using handheld devices, sometimes phones in the smaller events. 
This was mainly to know how busy the venue was for last minute on-the-door 
sales as well as to report occupancy to the authorities, but I'm wondering 
if this technology could be used also in your case. All you would need is a 
barcode in the event tickets or registration confirmation email. For 
member-only events you could look at barcoding the actual member access 
cards, if you have those, so they are easy to scan at the event.

We have also seen UHF-based radio cards which are picked up automatically 
without having to scan them as long as members are within a few meters of a 
radio beacon. These radio card are normally added to the regular member 
access cards and they are pretty inconspicuous. These can also be used to 
check members in on a day to day basis, not just during events, so you know 
how busy the space is at different hours of the day, use patterns, 
membership usage, etc...

There are probably a good number of solutions around, it is a matter of 
knowing what your event process can fit and how/if it can work with them.
