We had a great time at Dreamforce, Salesforce's annual user conference and flagship marketing event, at the Moscone Center in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. For the second year in a row, we partnered with Salesforce to speed up check-in so attendees could get their badges faster and start enjoying this amazing event. We were excited to see Event Marketer cite this partnership as one of the things they loved most about the event, noting that about 60% of attendees opted into express badge pickup by providing their photo ahead of time. According to George P Johnson Experience Marketing (GPJ), 14,000 attendees used digital pass pickup!
