Event > Visit Discover displays the unique URL related to your event, and an associated QR code. By displaying this QR code at your live event, attendees may scan this QR on arrival to navigate to the associated URL. From here they may do one of:
- Register for the event, if not already registered. On completion, they can be directed into the Visit Connect environment.
- Locate their existing registration via an email access code. Registered users can be directed into Visit Discover.
Attendees who have pre-registered may also follow links contained in the email confirmations they have received, however the scannable QR code provides an easy route to get attendees into the Visit Discover environment.
Use the Open Visit Discover button to access Visit Discover for the current event. Note that some functions such as the event agenda, exhibitor list and product list are available to the public, without being logged on as a registered user.

- Content email template configures the email that is sent to Visit Discover users when they begin to interact with digital content. Digital content onsite may be accessed via either an associated QR code (scanned with Visit Discover) or a touchpoint (used with NFC-enabled printed badges.). The email body will typically direct the user into the Visit Discover environment for them to view their collected content.
- Enable Scan QR code enables Visit Discover to open event and/or partner digital content by scanning QR codes using their mobile device. Note that the scanning function is not available when using Visit Discover on a desktop computer. If there is no content to scan at the event and/or you are using touchpoints and NFC enabled badges, you will want to have this function turned off.
Step 2
Dashboard setup for browser, tablet, mobile
The dashboard consists of tiles with individual functions. You may configure the dashboard to highlight the functions that are the most important in the context of the current event.
Some tiles provide functionality unique to the dashboard (such as the recommended exhibitors) while others provide shortcuts to commonly used areas of the interface.
For each tile type, choose its size and position and configure any additional properties.
Three different dashboard layouts are configured, to suit different screen environments:
- Desktop View
- Mobile phone View
- Tablet View
Use the buttons to switch between the views.
After adding tiles to any of the modes, they may be re-positioned by dragging to the required location. It is also possible to modify a tile’s background color to one of the accent colors defined under the event color palette.
