Event access control with RFID and QR

Turn accreditation rules into an access decision at the gate. Eventgo connects participants and credentials with the location, zone and time conditions that matter on site.

Define the rule before choosing the scan point

Access control starts with a clear model of the event. Which entrances lead to which locations? Which zones require a particular category or privilege? Are permissions valid for the whole event or only during a defined period? These decisions shape the portal and gate rules that an access check evaluates.

Eventgo supports location, zone, category and privilege conditions alongside time-based access and credential status. In and out direction can be part of the gate configuration. A credential is therefore not treated as a universal permission to enter every area simply because it belongs to a registered participant.

  • Blocked and inactive credentials

Bring connected checks to the event site

Handheld scanners support RFID and QR code scanning for mobile access checks. Turnstiles connect gate hardware to accreditation rules, while check-in poles provide standing scan points at entrances and zone borders. The appropriate setup depends on how people move through your event, not just on the credential format.

Plan the relationship between an entrance, its scan equipment and the rule it needs to apply. A venue entrance and a production-zone border can have different requirements even when they read the same credential. Equipment and workstation configuration should be discussed against your actual site plan before event operations begin.

Distinguish arrival from permission to enter

Check-in records arrival or attendance. Access control evaluates whether the credential meets the conditions at a particular point. Keeping those purposes separate is useful when a participant has arrived at the event but is not permitted to enter a restricted zone.

Because accreditation and access use connected participant information, changes to the record can be considered in the access workflow rather than handled as an unrelated list. Map how approvals, blocked credentials and exceptions should be managed, and agree which team owns each decision. Eventgo's configuration should reflect those operational responsibilities.

Frequently asked questions

Does Eventgo support both RFID and QR scanning?

Yes. The existing Eventgo infrastructure offering includes handheld scanners for RFID and QR code access checks. Discuss credential formats and the equipment configuration for your event with the team.

Can access vary by zone and time?

Yes. Access rules can evaluate zones, locations, categories, privileges and time conditions, as well as blocked or inactive credential status.

Is event check-in an access approval?

Not necessarily. Check-in tracks arrival or attendance; access evaluates permission at a specific gate or zone. Your configuration determines how the two workflows relate.
