vCheckin is a self-service, cloud-based, onsite registration application that includes session tracking and session evaluations. vCheckin can integrate with any pre-event registration system, and is ideally suited for self-service deployments due to its ease of use and built-in redundancy. Now, you can use your iOS device to scan any Registration provider's QR Code or Validar Event Ticket to quickly print a credential on demand. You can also use these devices to track session attendance and propagate an EventHub™ Session evaluation.

Contact your Validar Account Manager at sales@validar.com if on-demand badge printing is desired.
