ConferenceBeat Scanner Overview

What Is It

CB Scanner is a companion app for mobile devices. It is designed to enable event participants to scan attendees for lead retrieval and game participation OR for volunteers to scan attendees for attendance and CEU tracking at a live event. It is designed for use in conjunction with the ConferenceBeat badge option & event app. However, the CB Scanner can be used as a stand-alone scanner for attendance and lead retrieval.

How It Works

First, you will need to either use the physical badges “Badges”, or require the attendees to sign into the ConferenceBeat event app and access the badge QR code inside Profile Settings. These badges will be managed by the Event Administrator.
Next, download ConferenceBeat Scanner by Results at Hand from the Appstore.
Next, scan in or sign into the CB Scanner app with your ConferenceBeat or Branded Event app login credentials. If you haven’t created Event app login credentials, utilize the “First time logging in” link.
Select the correct event from the list.
Then, either choose games or Scan QR Code to get started. If you are tracking attendance, you may need to select a session to check-in attendees.
First time utilizing the app, selection “OK” when you see “Connect would like to access the camera.” Note: you must grant access to the camera to use CB Scanner App!
Lead Retrieval & Games: Point and shoot! Aim the in-app camera feed at the badge and wait for it to be recognized. The app will display a Confirmation pop-up box. Select Confirm to continue. For Connecting, all you need to do is scan the badges or potential leads or partners. For Exhibitors, the connections will be listed in your ROI report in the Exhibitor Portal. For games, after you confirm the badge scan, you may select points to award the attendee. Leaderboard information is displayed in the ConferenceBeat Event app.
Once you have scanned the badges, select Connections from the bottom Tab Bar to see the scans completed on your device. To refresh the list, swipe your finger down the screen starting at the top of the screen.
Attendance Scanning: Scan the badge to check-in or check-out attendees for the session or event. You will see a confirmation for each attendee’s badge scanned.
