The problem with static QR codes

  • Posters printed a month early — the program changed twice since then
  • After the event, QR codes point to a dead page or last year's schedule
  • Attendees on iPhone need the App Store, Android needs Play Store — separate QR codes
  • No way to know how many people scanned the event QR or which sessions were popular
  • Schedule changes during the event require emailing everyone or printing updates

The QioFork solution

  • One QR on posters and programs — update the schedule URL anytime, no reprint
  • Auto-expiry: after the event, the QR redirects to a "see you next year" page, not a 404
  • Device routing: one QR sends iOS users to the event app, Android to Play Store, desktop to the web schedule
  • Full analytics: scan count, peak times, device breakdown — see which sessions drove the most engagement
  • Live updates: change the program URL mid-event and every poster, badge, and banner instantly shows the new schedule

Everything event organizers need from a QR code

Live program updates

Schedule changes during the event? Update the destination URL and every printed QR instantly shows the new program. No emails, no printed inserts, no confusion at the info desk.

Auto-expiry with fallback

Set the QR to expire after the event ends. After expiry, scans redirect to a fallback page — "Thanks for attending, see you next year!" — instead of an embarrassing 404 or last year's schedule.

Device routing for event apps

One QR code sends iPhone attendees to the App Store, Android to the Play Store, and desktop to the web app. No separate codes, no "scan the other one" confusion at registration.

Session & booth analytics

Different QR per session or booth. See which talks drove the most scans, which booths got the most traffic, and peak engagement times. Share with sponsors as proof of value.

Multi-language programs

Language routing detects the attendee's browser language and serves the program in their language. One QR code for international conferences — English, French, Spanish, any language.

Password-protected content

Gate VIP sessions, speaker materials, or exclusive content behind a password. Scanners see a password prompt before accessing the destination — perfect for ticketed or member-only events.

Create event links

Create a short link for the program, one for the event app, one for feedback forms. Each gets its own QR code instantly.

2

Set up routing & expiry

Configure device routing (App Store / Play Store), set auto-expiry with a fallback page, and add password protection if needed.

3

Print on everything

Download branded QR codes. Print on posters, badges, programs, booth banners, and lanyards. Export as SVG for large-format printing.

4

Update live, measure after

Change the program URL mid-event if needed. After the event, review analytics: total scans, sessions, devices, countries.

"We had 2,000 attendees and printed QR codes on every badge, poster, and program. The schedule changed three times during the event — we just updated the URL and every QR instantly showed the new schedule. After the event, the QR auto-expired to a feedback page. Zero reprints."

Frequently asked questions

How do QR codes for events work?+

You create a dynamic QR code that points to a QioFork short link. When attendees scan it, they're redirected to your event program, app, or info page. Because the QR encodes a short link (not the final URL), you can change the destination anytime — update the schedule mid-event without reprinting anything.

What happens to the QR code after the event ends?+

QioFork auto-expiry lets you set a date and time after which the QR redirects to a fallback page instead of the event program. Set the fallback to "Thanks for attending, see you next year!" — no more dead links or stale schedules on printed materials.

Can I route attendees to the App Store or Play Store?+

Yes. Device routing detects whether the scanner is on iOS, Android, or desktop, and redirects accordingly. One QR code sends iPhone users to the App Store, Android users to the Play Store, and desktop users to your web schedule.

Can I track which sessions or booths got the most scans?+

Yes. Create a unique QR code per session or booth. Your dashboard shows scans per code, so you can identify the most popular talks, busiest booths, and peak engagement times — great data to share with sponsors.

Can I update the event program during the event?+

Yes. Log in to your dashboard, paste the new program URL, and save. Every printed QR code instantly points to the new schedule. This takes under 10 seconds and works even during the event — no reprinting, no emails.

Can I password-protect event content?+

Yes. QioFork Pro includes password-protected QR codes. VIP sessions, speaker materials, or exclusive content can be gated behind a password prompt — perfect for ticketed or member-only events.

Print once. Update live. Expire gracefully.
