Large format events in India and the UAE, including conferences, developer meetups, corporate launches, and festivals, often see 800 to 1200 attendees.
At this scale, organizers typically ask:
How do we check in 1000+ people without long queues?
What setup is needed for fast badge printing?
How does session scanning work at high traffic conferences?
To answer these questions, this guide breaks down the complete workflow using a real example.
At Redis Released 2025, delivered in collaboration with a UK-based event agency, 99% of the attendees were checked-in within the first hour through a combination of pre-registration, on-site printing and live session scanning.
1. What Does a Registration Setup Look Like for 1000 Attendees?
What should organizers in India and UAE prepare in advance?
Registration forms the foundation of the event workflow. A strong pre-event setup ensures accurate badges, correct access levels, and reduced delays on the event day.
Key Components of Pre Registration
- Custom branded registration pages
- Automated confirmations and reminders
- Guest list imports from agencies or client teams
- Badge data formatting such as Name, Company, Type, QR code
- Session access rules

FAQ: What Organizers Usually Ask
What information should we collect?
Name, designation, email, phone number, company name, session interests, badge category.
Can we support VIPs, speakers, and crew separately?

Why more large events in India and UAE depend on it
For multi track conferences, workshops, expo zones, and VIP areas, session scanning helps organizers monitor attendee movement and manage room capacities effectively.
RedisReleased used live scanning across multiple session rooms.
What Session Scanning Covers
- Entry scans at each session
- Real time dashboards
- Attendance reports
- Access control based on badge type
- Alerts for high traffic rooms
This helps events in the UAE where access policies can be strict and Indian events that manage high footfall within tight timelines.
FAQ: Common Questions
Do we need RFID or is QR enough?
QR works well for most corporate events. RFID suits cashless setups or festivals.
How many scanners do we need per room?
One or two devices depending on the gate size.
Can we see session attendance instantly?
Yes. Live dashboards display ongoing counts.
