Please give me some time to put the ideas together

yes.

you can never be *sure* but you can do your best. For example have badges=
=20
with a different color, and, for the first day, an hostess at the entranc=
e of=20
each rooms (that by the way make it a very professionnal conference) This=
 can=20
help to explain the larger price for the first day and the hostes can be=20
students=20

For example:=20

day 1 =3D business day: everyone is welcome in the common exhibition area=
 but=20
blue badges (ie. for business people who have paid their due fees) only e=
nter=20
the conference rooms

day 2 and 3 =3D developper days : blue badges (for business people) and o=
range=20
badges (the other, developpers for example) are welcome everywhere; no=20
control needed anymore at the entrance.

> This can only be achieved with a very strict check, which isn't possibl=
e
> like in the setup of last year.=20

it is true that the control must be more strict and the setup a little=20
different . See my proposal here above. Achievable I think with not that =
much=20
costs. The social control can also help a lot : make the rule very clear,=
 ask=20
the the badge were worn very clearly (much like at the European Exhibitio=
n=20
that I just attende) and ask everyone for the first day to behave like a=20
professional.

> Also a very
> strict check would impose long waiting rows.

not necesserarily.=20

Make 2 desks: one for people who HAVE registered AND paid, that will be f=
ast,=20
one for the other where there can be a queue but let the people know in=20
advance that this is the way it will be organised.
