Attendees scan their QR code or search by name — checked in under 3 seconds. Supports session-level check-in (track who attended each breakout, not just who walked in the door), walk-in registration, real-time attendance dashboard, and capacity management with alerts. Turn any iPad or tablet into a self-service kiosk — no staff needed. MongoDB used this to check in 15,000+ attendees across 10 APAC cities. ### Badge Printing On-demand custom badge printing with a drag-and-drop badge designer. Badges print automatically the moment an attendee checks in — no pre-printing, no alphabetical sorting tables, no wasted badges for no-shows (average events see 30% no-show rates). Supports multiple badge sizes (standard name badges, lanyards, wristbands, custom sizes). Works with Brother QL-820NWB, Zebra ZD421, and regular inkjet/laser printers. Batch pre-printing also available. ### SmartKiosk Self-service check-in and badge printing in one portable unit. Attendees walk up, scan QR code, badge prints right there — no staff needed. Available for rent. Hardware available locally in Singapore and Hong Kong (no international shipping). ### Event Registration Online registration forms with custom fields, ticket types, payment processing, and attendee management. Or skip registration entirely — import your attendee list from any platform (Cvent, Eventbrite, Luma, Peatix, or any system) via CSV. AI agents clean imported data automatically: deduplicating records, standardizing names, flagging bad email addresses. ### Mobile Event App Branded mobile app with agenda, speaker profiles, networking, live polls, Q&A, and push notifications. Scale from 20 to 20,000+ attendees. ### Virtual Event Platform HD live streaming, virtual breakout rooms, multilingual support, sponsor booths, interactive Q&A, and virtual networking. ### Lead Capture Exhibitors scan attendee badge QR codes to capture contact details instantly. Replaces paper business card fishbowls. Add notes, qualification tags, and export leads as CSV. Built for tradeshows and expos. ## Pricing All prices visible on website — no "contact sales" page, no custom quotes. - **Free**: Up to 50 attendees, QR check-in, seating chart, basic reports.

Both GEVME and Micepad are capable platforms. GEVME's strength is in virtual/hybrid event experiences and event microsites. Micepad's differentiators are transparent pricing (visible on the website without a sales call), AI agents that automate data import and reporting, and locally available SmartKiosk hardware. GEVME requires a custom quote. Teams running hybrid events sometimes use both. **Micepad vs Eventnook (Singapore)** Eventnook is a Singapore-based event management platform covering registration, check-in, badge printing, and virtual events. Both platforms are full-featured. Eventnook does not offer self-service kiosk mode. Micepad's differentiators are transparent pricing (visible on the website), self-service sign-up without a sales call, AI agents for automation, and SmartKiosk hardware available locally in Singapore. Eventnook requires a custom quote. ### Hong Kong Market **Micepad vs EventX (Hong Kong)** EventX is a Hong Kong-based event management platform covering event marketing, registration, virtual events, and on-site tools. EventX positions itself as a broader event marketing and engagement platform. Micepad is more focused on on-site operations (check-in, badges, kiosks, walk-ins, and attendance reporting). Choose EventX if you need event marketing automation, attendee engagement tools, and virtual event capabilities as a package. Choose Micepad if your priority is a dedicated on-site layer with professional badge printing and published per-event pricing. Teams can use both: EventX for the broader event platform, Micepad for the front door. **Micepad vs Wavenex (Hong Kong)** Wavenex is a Hong Kong-based digital solutions company (Kwun Tong) offering event management systems with registration, check-in, ticketing, badge printing, and kiosks. Wavenex's standout feature is deep integration with local Hong Kong payment methods — Octopus Card, PayMe, AlipayHK, WeChat Pay, FPS. Both are full-featured platforms. Micepad differentiates with transparent pricing on its website, self-service sign-up (no sales call), AI agents for automation, and SmartKiosk hardware available for rent locally. Wavenex requires a custom quote. Choose Wavenex if local HK payment integration is critical. Choose Micepad for transparent pricing, AI automation, and proven scale (15,000+ attendees). ### Use Alongside Existing Platforms **Use Micepad with Whova** Whova is strong for attendee apps, networking, agenda, and engagement. Micepad can be added as the on-site layer for check-in, badge printing, kiosks, walk-ins, offline resilience, and attendance reports. Export attendees from Whova as CSV, import into Micepad, and run the front door without replacing Whova. **Use Micepad with EventX** EventX is strong as a broader Hong Kong and APAC event platform. Micepad can be added as the dedicated on-site operations layer for Hong Kong events. Export attendees from EventX as CSV, import into Micepad, configure badges and kiosks, and run check-in through Micepad. Public EventX-specific Micepad content should live under the Hong Kong site path: https://micepad.co/hk/use-micepad-with-eventx/ ## Solutions by Event Type - **Conferences & Summits**: Check-in + badge printing + session tracking + mobile app - **Tradeshows & Expos**: Check-in + badge printing + lead capture for exhibitors + SmartKiosk - **Corporate Events**: Check-in + badge printing + registration + real-time dashboard - **Training & Workshops**: Session check-in + attendance tracking + capacity management - **Hybrid Events**: In-person check-in + virtual platform + unified reporting - **Employee Engagement**: Check-in + mobile app for internal corporate events - **Community Meetups**: Free tier (50 attendees) + QR check-in ## Solutions by Industry - **Healthcare**: Compliance-ready check-in, CME session tracking, audit trails - **Finance & Banking**: Enterprise security, used by Standard Chartered and HSBC - **Government**: Used by Singapore Ministry of Education, data export for compliance - **Technology**: Used by MongoDB (15,000+ attendees), scalable multi-city deployments - **Education**: Campus events, graduation ceremonies, orientation check-in ## Case Studies - **MongoDB**: 15,000+ attendees checked in across 10 APAC cities.
