Events meets SMS — a combination built for results. Create QR codes that open a pre-composed text message. Perfect for opt-ins, feedback, and quick communications. The-QR-To makes setup effortless so you can focus on what matters: Live-updating event info accessible through a single scan.

Benefits

Pre-Written Messages

Set the phone number and message text so users just scan and send.

Speed Up Check-In Dramatically

Attendees show a QR code from their confirmation email, staff scans it, and they are checked in within two seconds. No searching through printed lists or spelling names out loud.

Drive SMS Opt-Ins

Grow your SMS marketing list by making it effortless to subscribe.

Distribute Materials Without Paper

Place QR codes on session room doors, stage screens, and badges. Attendees scan to access slide decks, handouts, speaker bios, and Wi-Fi credentials without any paper waste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work on all phones?
Yes. SMS QR codes use the standard sms protocol supported by all smartphones.
Can I pre-fill the text message?
Yes. You set the recipient phone number and message body. When scanned, the messaging app opens with everything ready to send.
How do I track which sessions are most popular?
Assign a unique QR code to each session room. The scan count for each code tells you exactly how many attendees engaged. Compare across sessions to identify your highest-draw topics and speakers.
Can QR codes replace traditional event tickets?
Yes. Send each registrant a unique QR code via email. At the door, staff scan the code to validate the ticket and check in the attendee. Duplicate scans are flagged instantly to prevent ticket sharing.
What if the venue has poor Wi-Fi and attendees cannot load the QR destination?
The-QR-To pages are lightweight and optimized for slow connections. For critical info like schedules or maps, you can also pre-generate a PDF that downloads quickly and works fully offline once loaded.
How do I create a QR code for Events in the {{industryShortTitle}} industry?
Sign up for The-QR-To, enter your destination URL, customize the design to match your {{industryShortTitle}} brand, and download. The entire process takes under a minute.
Can I track how many people scan my Events QR code?
Yes. The-QR-To provides real-time analytics including scan counts, device types, locations, and timing — so you can measure the impact of your Events campaign in the {{industryShortTitle}} space.
What type of QR code is best for Events?
For Events, we recommend dynamic URL QR codes so you can update the destination without reprinting. This is especially useful in the {{industryShortTitle}} industry where content changes frequently.
