Remote Work
Dryfta's QR-based self check-in for webinars extends the hybrid-event model that has spread since large conferences began pairing in-person sessions with online access. The update applies the same approach to remote speakers and moderators, widening where virtual attendance tools are used.
Event planners using Dryfta can look for the Conference Health Check and QR check-in tools in their platform after the October release. Organizers running webinars may use the new waitlist settings to manage registration when sessions reach capacity.
The takeaway
Event organizers who run hybrid conferences can use readiness checks and QR-based check-in to reduce on-site friction. Reviewing which of these tools fit your event format before the next season can help plan smoother attendee access.
