The system

A closed loop system, in one device.

Registration & check-in

Take registrations before the event, then run the door with the same system. No import, no reconciliation.

  • 300+ attendees per hour, per kiosk
  • Walk-ups register at the door
  • Any number of tiers

Smart badge printing

Your badge design, printed and encoded with the attendee's profile as they arrive.

  • Your template, logo and colours
  • Stock and lanyards ship with every event
  • The badge carries networking all day

Analytics & reporting

Every arrival and scan lands in one attendee record, visible while the event is running.

  • Arrivals, turnout, industries, repeat guests
  • Report ready the moment doors close
  • Export to CSV or Excel at any time

Show day

It works when the venue doesn't.

Connection drops

Cellular failover, then local

Entry brings its own cellular, so it never needs a guest network. If that drops too, lookups, printing, encoding and check-ins continue offline and reconcile when service returns.

Power drops

Six hours on battery

Battery backup carries a tripped breaker, an overloaded strip, or a room change mid-event. Move the device and keep checking people in.

Your list changes

Registrants sync every 30 seconds

Someone who signs up in the parking lot is on the kiosk before they reach the door — and your dashboard edits reach it without interrupting the line.

Identity

Encoding is built in

The reader and encoder live inside the kiosk, not on a second table. Every badge is encoded with that attendee's profile as it prints.

Attendee OS

The software isn't an add-on. It's the product.

Design the badge, take the registrations, publish the event, hand every attendee a profile. Included, and already connected to the kiosk.

Badge Studio

Design the badge in your browser and save it as a template. What you lay out is exactly what the kiosk prints — no print file to hand off, no proof cycle.

Registration

Free, paid or donation-based, with as many tiers as you need, plus promo codes and application review. Every registration is already on the kiosk.

Event Hub

Your event's public page — schedule, speakers, logistics. Attendees reach it from their badge, so the agenda in their hand is the one you updated this morning.

Smart Profiles

Every badge is encoded with the attendee's own page — who they are, what they're here for, how to reach them. Scan a badge, and the connection is made.

And you watch it happen live.

  • Arrivals by hour, on your phone, during the event.
  • Sponsors pull their own lead captures.
  • Your data is yours, exportable at any point.

Try it

Design the badge your kiosk prints.

The editor your event actually opens in — same title bar, same tool rail, same tier cards. Drop items on the badge, position the six merge fields, set type and colour, and give each tier a design of its own. What you lay out here is what the printer receives: no separate print file, no proof cycle with a vendor.

Fields

These are the six fields the kiosk merges at print time. The canvas shows sample attendee data, so you can check spacing and contrast before the first real attendee walks up.

Select a field or an item to edit it

Nothing here is saved. Field defaults, the six merge fields, the per-tier design model and the toolbars are the shipped editor's. Save is disabled; the download button renders your layout in the browser. Attendee details are invented.

Setup

It links itself to your event.

Four steps, and only one of them is yours.

  1. Power on

    Cellular comes up on its own and your event downloads to local storage.

  2. Hold your phone to the scanner

    The kiosk pairs to your account and pulls the right event. No password typed on the kiosk, no Wi‑Fi configured.

  3. Your branded event launches

    Your logo, colours, badge template and tiers — nothing re-entered, because it was never a separate system.

  4. Attendees walk up

    The device keeps itself current every 30 seconds for the rest of the event.

What it costs youOne invoice

This is not a discount. The old model's floor is freight, flights, per diem and hardware sitting idle between shows. We deleted those line items rather than undercutting someone and hoping to make it back later.

Do Good Program

Nonprofits and education, as low as $1,995

Mission-driven events save up to 50%. Enterprise event technology shouldn't require an enterprise budget.

Not included: badge stock beyond your booked count (billed at cost), travel outside the metro (quoted before you sign), and custom API integrations (scoped separately). Over 1,000 attendees, multi-day, or several entrances at once is a custom deployment — tell us the shape of it and we come back within one business day.

Proof

Run where the stakes are highest.

Fortune 100 enterprises, research universities, city government and community nonprofits — all on the same platform, because there is only one.

Questions

Before you book.

Is there a contract or subscription?
Never. Every engagement is per event. Most organizers start with one and book more when they're ready; about 75% come back.
Are there hidden fees?
None. Your quote is your price. Hardware, software, badge stock and lanyards are included, with no per-attendee fees and no tiers holding features back.
What if my attendee count changes after I book?
You move up a tier — Launch to Growth past 199 attendees, Growth to Scale past 499. We true up the difference before the event, not after, so there's no surprise invoice at check-in.
How long does setup take on event day?
Minutes. Power on, hold your phone to the scanner, and the kiosk links itself to your event and launches it already branded. Run one test check-in and you're ready.
Do we need IT staff, or venue Wi-Fi?
Neither. Entry brings its own cellular and never asks for network access, so there's no security review and no IT ticket. A volunteer can run the door after a few minutes of orientation.
What happens if something goes wrong on event day?
Lose the connection and check-in continues locally, reconciling when service returns. Lose power and battery backup carries up to six hours. Run several kiosks and they share one live check-in state, so no unit is a single point of failure. For anything else, support is staffed 24/7.
We already sell tickets elsewhere. Do we have to move?
No. Bring a CSV, Excel file or Sheet from Eventbrite, Cvent, Whova or Swoogo and Entry takes the door. Exports come back in formats Salesforce, HubSpot and Mailchimp accept.
Do you cover our city?
Yes — we operate across the entire US. Because connectivity and power are built into the device, a new city doesn't depend on what the venue can provide. Contact us for events outside the continental US.
What happens to our attendee data after the event?
It's yours. It lives in your dashboard and exports to CSV or Excel at any time. Sponsors can pull their own lead captures from the sponsor portal.
