QR Codes for Events
Live Data. No Reprint Panic.

Yes — that is the main reason event organisers use QRPulse. Update the destination URL in your dashboard at any time. Printed QR codes on badges, programmes, and signage automatically point to the new link.

More than most organisers expect: a mid-size conference typically needs one per session room, one per sponsor booth, one for the badge, one for the programme, and one per promotion channel — often 15–40 codes for a single multi-track event. This is why per-code naming and the Pro unlimited-codes plan matter.

Each code is created individually through the dashboard so you can name and categorise it correctly, but the process takes seconds per code. For a 30-code conference, budget about 20 minutes to set up the full deployment in one sitting before handing artwork to your designer.

A vCard code is usually the best fit if you want tapping the badge to save the speaker's contact details directly to a phone. If you'd rather link to the speaker's session page or bio, use a Website code instead — pick based on what action you want the scanner to take.

Create one QR code per session, sponsor booth, or zone. Each appears as a separate entry in your QRPulse dashboard so you can compare scan volumes and peak times across every placement.

Yes. The QRPulse dashboard updates within seconds of each scan. You can watch engagement live on a laptop or phone as sessions begin and end, and spot a code stuck at zero scans while there is still time to fix the signage.

Yes, on the Pro plan you can export the full scan log as a CSV with one click. Each row includes timestamp, country, city, device, and QR code ID — ready for import into Excel or Sheets.

No. Every modern iOS and Android camera scans QR codes natively. No app download required from the attendee's side.

Free plan: 2 active codes. Pro plan ($2/month or $20/year): unlimited active QR codes — suitable for multi-day, multi-track conferences with dozens of placements.

Yes — name each code by its physical placement when you create it ("Badge — VIP", "Booth 7", "Programme p.12"), not by a generic label. With clear naming, a dashboard of 30-40 codes for a multi-track conference stays as easy to scan as a list of 3.

A PDF category code if the programme itself is the destination, or a Website code if you want it to link to a live, editable schedule page instead. The website option is usually better for events, since a live page can absorb last-minute room or time changes that a static PDF cannot.

You can, but we recommend fresh codes per edition if you want year-over-year comparison to stay clean — reusing a code and simply updating the destination merges this year's and last year's scan history into one stream, which makes it harder to isolate a single edition's performance.

Not necessarily a different code — the same dynamic code can point at the early-bird page first, then get repointed to standard pricing once that tier sells out. This is exactly the workflow dynamic QR codes are built for: one printed asset, multiple sequential destinations.

Assign one named person on your event team with dashboard access, not a shared login several people might use. Destination swaps take seconds, but only if the person on the floor knows it is explicitly their responsibility when a room or schedule changes.

Yes, as long as you create a separate code for each — a banner code and a handout code pointing at the same page will show up as two entries in your dashboard, letting you compare which physical format actually drives more attendee engagement.

Yes, for the on-screen slides and chat-pinned links at a hybrid event — a QR code is easy to screenshot and revisit later, and it gets tracked in the same dashboard as your in-person codes, giving you one combined view of engagement across both audiences.
