In the registration acknowledgement slip we can have barcodes printed. http://www.eventbrite.com/ has that option , and it is also capable enough to manage pre-event registrations. ( their services would have an option of pre-payment and also it would be free for us . (Non profit organization ) ) workflow 1: Participants with pre-booking. a. have the participant print out the acknowledgement slip with the bar code. b. the moment they come at the registration desk. a person with a barcode reader scans his slip, matches to see if it is legitimate. c. If it is legitimate , he is passed on to the next desk to collect the swags. workflow 2: Walk - In participants ( The difficult part ) a. We have a second Queue, with another barcode reader , the walking participant hands over his ID card (Office id / College id ) and has the barcode on it scanned. ( Most Id cards have bar codes ). ( *Does anyone has an experience working with barcode readers ? different cards would have different format for storing the data* ) b.1 If the card has barcode and the data is read correctly, he goes to the payment and swag collection counter. b.2 if the card doesn't have a barcode or the data isn't read correctly , the participant has to register manually.

not necessary , start registration at 8.30 or 9.00 , have more registration desks and close it just before keynote addressing and then open again ,
This is not really practical. We can't take all the stuff from the desks, keep it somewhere and then come back again after they keynote.
it is possible , why we have to block our minds , there will be lot of options
If the registration desk is opened, it should stay open till there are no more people to register.
The traffic will spike around 10:00 am. That's when people will drop in in large numbers. I think it's a given that the people who man the registration desk will miss the keynote. It's not pleasant so i'd like to make it as quick and less as possible.
quick means , more volunteers and less in number means -- thats left to how we want it to be , do you think not allowing people to attend the keynote for those who have not registered is a good thing to do ,
i think it should not be like that
Just because we have 50 student volunteers doesn't mean that we have
to needlessly make more work.
i bet students like to meet and talk to more people than anyone -- i bet on this , we have seen this happening since many years , so usually we leave these kind of things to them
of course taking their help is left to you
otherwise few have to miss the key note and those might have to look into the recoded videos
Yeah. That's not a good thing. I'd like the number of people who miss the keynote to be as small as possible.
good !!
