At some of this year’s most prestigious sporting occasions we have had the pleasure of supporting clients in welcoming guests at events – from the Sony Champions League final in Cardiff to the Aegon Tennis Championships at Queens, exciting Formula 1 races worldwide to Old Mutual Rugby Union games at Twickenham.

Our Chime check in is capable of ‘checking in’ up to 10,000 people – which means your guests arrival is registered and if appropriate seated within moments. Chime Check-In enables you to keep the process smooth and speedy, while giving you a comprehensive, real-time overview of arrivals.

Key Features:

 - Personalised welcome: add notes to guest names so that registration staff can greet them appropriately

 - Go anywhere: ‘Check-In’ works even without an internet connection, and runs on iPad, iPhone and Android devices

 - Scale up your registration team: the app updates in seconds across multiple devices via a wi-fi network that we provide

 - Update guest lists right up to the last minute

If you’re running an event with delegates and high-profile VIPs expected, there is nothing worse than a queue!

Don’t be.  It’s entirely possible to enjoy that summer vacation you’re earned with a few simple event planning steps, ensuring a stress-free and successful Autumn.

1)     Identify staff summer vacation schedules Event directors can’t do it all. You need your team available for planning and executing on schedule.  Is your colleague responsible for session agendas and speaker presentations taking July off to cruise the Norwegian Fjords?  Ask them to first share their calendar so you can plan accordingly.
 

2)     Get leadership buy-in  By asking leaders to confirm conference goals from the start of the summer you’re encouraging them to offer their input throughout the planning of the event.  Leaders need to know your project milestones don’t start when the leaves change color.  They’ll support you with budget and event strategy sign-off if you ask them before the summer break
 

3)     Plan in June and July  It only makes sense to secure resources ahead of time.  Whether booking a venue, setting up your registration page or selecting live polling event technology be sure to plan ahead.  You’ll beat the business crowd and have time for the finer details once everyone is back in the office.  

Fall is coming.  Why not have a pleasant summer?

Our colleagues across the oceans were busy contributing throughout the day, starting with Hong Kong who shared our first post wishing everyone a ‘Happy #medcomms day’ with the London team following a few hours later with a short animation of a disappearing #medcomms cake! (And very tasty it was too!).

We also ran a very successful #medcomms Quiz during the day with Michele Ukele, from Synergy Vision, announced as the lucky winner of the iPod Touch. Congratulations once again from everyone at Concise.

The day was deemed a huge success and ended with a lovely post from our Client Services Director, Stan Park as the sunset over the Pacific Ocean in San Francisco. Here’s to 2018 #medcomms day!

The heatmap of those having a go is looking very hot over Europe - let's see if the US can take over.
