I just came back from the Voxxed Days Zürich conference, where I volunteered, as I have for all editions (but one 🫣).

It’s a sort of tradition for me, that started back in 2015 with the first ever edition of the Voxxed Days Ticino, and I have still to get tired of the experience! I love being part of the team that reaches the venue before the guests arrive to make sure that everything is ready for them 🧚‍♀️

I am usually focused on the check-in, the very first step of their journey at the event, where things better be fast and frictionless also when people come in biiiig waves because they were on the same train or bus.

This year we welcomed with a smile around 450 people: from ticket shown to badge printed and handed over it takes around 5 seconds.

I know the developers behind Alf.io, the open source event attendance management system that is being adopted to cover the lifecycle of the event from ticket distribution, to event management, to reporting and accounting.

Among other things, they take care of the check-in first hand, and lend a hand to the exhibitors to setup the dedicated app to collect leads, so basically during the event they are surrounded by all their customers (organisers, attendees, and exhibitors) using their product, and they have evolved it over the years to solve their customers’ pain points, which they have been able to observe live… and I am in the trenches with them! How cool is that?

Here’s to many more successful events 🤙
