For continuing education event planners and organizers, managing attendee check-ins, tracking attendance, and verifying credits can often feel overwhelming. Hank the Emu chats with Lisa Wise, Vice President of Products, to discuss our newest feature, the Live Event Portal, a solution specifically designed to make your next event easier to manage and more rewarding for attendees.
Hank: What is the Live Event Portal
Lisa: CE21’s Event Portal, built using our existing Live Event product type, offers a streamlined real-time system for tracking attendance. Our tool allows you to scan attendees in and out of sessions with unique QR codes, enabling accurate, up-to-the-minute attendance reporting. No more paper lists or lengthy manual tracking—your session attendance records are instantly linked to their CE21 accounts.
Hank: How does it work?
Lisa: Each attendee is given a custom badge with a unique QR code, which can be enhanced with your logo. Staff or volunteers can use any device equipped with a camera to scan these codes at the entrance of each session. With this flexibility, your team can efficiently manage attendance while capturing the necessary data for credit tracking.
Hank: Do I need to download an app or a new service?
Lisa: No! Just use your CE21 manager login to access a sister site dedicated to the event portal. You only need an internet connection and your phone or tablet to scan users into the overall event or each agenda item.
Hank: What kind of management features are in the portal?
Lisa: Real-time attendance tracking simplifies checking attendees in and out with QR codes, reducing errors and saving time. You can even time track your users; when they hit the minimum threshold, they are automatically marked complete. Viewing the user profiles provides instant access to attendee information and agenda items and allows you to streamline the adjustment of your user’s credit. A color-coded flagging system helps identify attendees needing credit reviews. This makes post-event credit management easier by eliminating the need for manual tracking.
Hank: Is there anything else you want to share about the Live Event Portal?
Lisa: This portal is designed for flexibility, allowing anyone on your team to master the attendance process quickly. With the Event Portal, you can focus less on the logistics and more on creating a memorable, successful event experience for your attendees. Contact us to see how our portal can transform your event management experience.
