Five stages. Four of them happen in your office before the doors open, and the fifth looks after itself.
Name it, date it, add the businesses exhibiting and the stand each one is on. Invite their staff by email address — they do not need an account yet, or ever, really.
Everything here is editable up to and during the event.
Export a CSV from whatever you already use — Eventbrite, Ticket Tailor, a spreadsheet — and drop it in. Column names are matched for you.
Matched on your ticketing reference first, then email address.
A PDF of badge inserts, six to an A4 sheet, on whatever printer is already in the office. No card printer, no print bureau, no lead time.
Two levels of branding: your company across the whole account, and each event's own logo and colours on its badges.
They tap the link in their invitation and they are scanning. Nothing to install, no app store, no password to reset at 8.55am on the morning of the show.
You can watch this from the office, or from the registration desk.
Exhibitors sign in, see every contact they collected, and take it away — download the CSV, or have it emailed to the address you invited them on. You get attendance, reach and a stand-by-stand breakdown.
The figures you quote when you sell next year's stands.
Most apps say they work offline and mean they will retry later. Lanyard writes every scan to the phone and confirms it on screen before it touches the network, so the person at the stand never waits and never wonders.
The phone also holds a list of who is at the event, so it can put a name to a badge with no signal at all. When the network returns the queue empties on its own, and each scan carries an identifier made on the device, so a queue that uploads twice cannot double‑count a visitor.
Fourteen days, everything included, cancel during the trial.
