Attendee badges these days can serve several purposes that go way beyond simply displaying a name and title. From lead scanning to session check-in, technology like QR codes and NFC allow badges to become interactive and act as a communication tool throughout an event. But they can also help with another essential feature for planners: access control.

Access control provides a quick and easy way for event planners to restrict attendee access into certain areas and even at certain times by encoding the rights to those areas onto the badge before the show. Learn a bit about the technology behind badging and access control at events, as well as about the ways this feature can help enhance event security, logistics, and management.
