This can be implemented in two different ways, need to discuss what will be the final decision.
Option 1: Participants can access scanner page
- Workshops, sponsor booths, etc will have a QR code containing an ID, which can be scanned by participants
- Participants would have to open scanner page to be able to check in, which is higher friction
- Slightly more difficult for participants to fake (but not really)
Option 2: Self-Service check-in page
- Inaccessible from rest of website
- Check-in spots would have a QR code using a query parameter to say what they are checking in to
- Participants can just share the URL to check-in, which is less secure
- Easy to use
Either option could be geo-fenced for security, although that seems excessive
