You Are Here QR codes from ExpoFP can help your attendees see their location in the venue and navigate to their destinations using wayfinding. This feature is offered at no additional cost to any subscription and doesn't require setting up an indoor positioning system (IPS).
Unlimited codes can be printed out and placed in the aisles, at the registration desk or even outside the venue to help find the way to the expo hall. They can also be used, without needing to be printed, as starting locations for driving traffic to your sponsors.
How You Are Here works
Attendees can scan the codes, which will open the floor plan and show their position as a blue dot. Next, they can choose their destination by clicking on an object or searching for an exhibitor name in the search field.
If they search for a company and press Directions shortly after scanning the You Are Here QR code, the route will be shown instantly.
How to set up You Are Here QR codes at the event
First, go to Integration - You Are Here (make sure your floor plan has an active subscription).
Enter the number of codes you need and click Generate. The codes will be downloaded as a zip file. Unzip the file, and either print out the codes as they are, or first add them to your own "You Are Here" posters. Save the passcode — you'll need it to set the locations of codes at the venue.
When at the venue, download the ExpoFP You Are Here app, sign in using the passcode and follow the instructions on the screen.
Place a You Are Here QR code printout
Within the app, click Set QR code location and scan the code
Move the pin on the floor plan and set it to the code's position
Click Save location
To change or remove the position, click on the pin once again.
How to setup You Are Here QR codes before the event
Although the You Are Here codes are designed to work as previously discussed, you can also generate QR codes in advance and add them to the floor plan in the app without being present at the venue. To do this:
Generate the codes and download the app
Print out the codes or open them on your computer
Within the app, for each code click Set QR code location and scan the code
For each code, move the pin on the floor plan and set it to the location where the code will be displayed
Click Save location
At the venue, put up the code printouts at the appropriate locations
Please note that because the codes are so visibly similar to each other, you will have to take precautions to ensure that each code placed at the venue is the correct one for each location. Testing each You Are Here QR code once you have placed it at the venue is recommended.
