You’ve finalized your badge count, artwork, and equipment needs — now it’s time to make sure you’re fully prepared for Expo Pass onsite badge printing.

This guide outlines exactly what you (the Event Organizer) need to provide, what Expo Pass delivers, and what to expect from our onsite team (if included with your package).


What Event Organizers Must Provide

  • To ensure your registration area is fully functional, you are responsible for:

    • Lanyards

    • Badge Sleeves (optional, but if used, must be at least ¼" wider than your badge size)

    • Registration Staff

    • Tables or kiosks for equipment setup
      ➤ Recommended: One 6' table per Lane
      (Each Lane = 2 iPads + 1 Printer)

    • Power Setup:

      • 1 power strip per Lane

      • Extension cords to reach outlets

      • Sockets must accept 3-prong grounded plugs

      • HERE are the electrical requirements

    • Dedicated Internet Connection
      ➤ Strongly recommended: hardline Ethernet
      ➤ You’ll need to supply the Ethernet cord for the route

      • HERE are the internet requirements

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Missing power supplies:
    Each Lane needs a power strip and nearby outlet access — don’t forget your extension cords!

  • Assuming Expo Pass provides staff for registration:
    We provide equipment support only — all attendee-facing roles must be covered by your team.

  • Forgetting Ethernet cord:
    If you plan to use wired internet (recommended), you must bring the ethernet cable.

  • Improper sleeve sizing:
    Badge sleeves must be at least ¼ inch wider than the badge to prevent fitting issues.
