Attendance Verification That Actually Verifies

By Claire at Slayte

QR codes are great. But let’s be honest—they’re not magic.

If your idea of “attendance verification” is just a screen with a barcode, you’re not really verifying anything. You’re recording that someone scanned something—maybe even the right person.

At Slayte, we think verifying attendance should mean… actually verifying attendance.

Here’s how we do it differently.

Six Ways to Verify Attendance (Without the Guesswork)

1. Virtual Attendance Based on View Time

Don’t just track who clicked play—track who stayed.
We monitor real-time video engagement and mark attendance only when a configured percentage (say 80%) is watched on the actual event page.

It’s invisible to the attendee and accurate for CE/CME purposes.

2. Virtual Attendance With Real-Time Prompts

Need even tighter control? We can randomly pause a session, play an alert, and ask attendees to enter a one-time code within 30 seconds. Miss it? No credit.

It’s perfect for compliance-focused organizations that require proof of live presence, not just browser activity.

3. Self Check-In, In-Person

For general sessions, allow attendees to check themselves in—good faith, no line, no hassle. Great for poster sessions, exhibits, or workshops.

Configure open times, buffers, and edit rules. Keep things fair and simple.

4. Attendee Scans Session QR

Display a QR code in-room. Attendees scan it from their mobile app. Attendance is logged instantly.

It’s fast, quiet, and reliable—especially when you need to track hundreds of concurrent breakouts.

5. Staff Scans Attendee Badge at the Door

Need more control? Staff can scan attendee badges as they enter. It's quick and eliminates guesswork.

Ideal for high-traffic, high-value sessions (like CE credits or limited-capacity events).

6. Staff Scans and Verifies Access

Want to control who can attend? Our platform allows staff to scan badges and confirm eligibility in real-time.
No more awkward “sorry, you’re not on the list” moments—just a discreet yes/no based on membership, registration level, or speaker role.

You need proof.
You need clarity.
You need options.
