Why are we doing this webinar?

● Check-in was our biggest issue.

Why tech is important to The GRAMMYs high profile events

● The team needed to mitigate issues quickly, in real-time.

● Technology not only makes your job easier, it makes you look more professional and it’s an entire extra layer of security that every event needs.

● Needed to set a standard in ticketing, which we didn’t have (yet).

● Ticketing and check-in go hand-in-hand.

From paper to digital Check-In

● Paper check-in was difficult, especially when you’re dealing with celebrities who might have an alias.

● Needed a solution that was easy to implement and train a staff as well as a group of volunteers.

● Check-in was historically manual, nothing was automated
