How do I track attendees at my event?
- Send your attendees their physical or digital badge
- Download the Orca Scan mobile app
- Select the relevant sheet
- Scan your attendees’ QR code badges on entry, at each stand, café or function
- If there is a problem with the QR code such as attending on the wrong day, Orca Scan will tell you
That’s it! No more clipboards and excessive sheets of paper. Orca Scan can manage your event digitally and synchronize your data into our Web App. From there, you’ll be able to see how many people attended, which sessions they attended, and more, depending on how you have set up your sheet!
Why should I be doing event attendee tracking?

How do I create and print name badges for my attendees?
In Orca Scan’s Web App, you can open up the side panel on the left to download and print your barcodes. All you have to do is send your QR codes out to your attendees either through an email or via the post if you wish to use physical badges.
If you wish to purchase labels, we recommend Avery or Dymo.
How do I set up VIP arrival alerts?
The Orca Scan Event Attendance template is pre-configured to let you know if an attendee has been marked as a ‘VIP’. You can add more triggers by:
- Logging into Orca Scan
- Open the triggers menu at the top of the page and add a new trigger
- Give your new trigger a name
- Set up your new trigger using our “If this, then that” formatting
- Save all these changes
How can I download my attendee list?
Orca Scan allows you to export your sheet into a range of formats, such as Excel or PDF. Alternatively, you can use our real-time Integrations to connect your sheet straight to Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets and more, making it easily accessible for office colleagues and end-of-event report generation.
Can I import my existing attendee list?
Yes you can find a step-by-step guide on importing existing attendees here.
Can i track my Venue and Event equipment using Orca Scan?
Yes tracking inventory across venues and events has never been easier than with Orca Scan.
Simply scan your equipment barcodes into our Inventory Tracking template, and you’ve got a custom inventory system, company-wide, in minutes.
How do I validate the attendees’ tickets?
The Orca Scan event tracking solution is pre-configured, using triggers only to allow a pass to be scanned once. This means that if someone tries to use a pass that has already been scanned into the event, Orca Scan will notify you and reject the pass.
