1. How to manually check-in Event Attendees
2. How to scan to a .CSV file of Event Attendees
3. How to scan Event Attendees online
4. How to scan Event Attendees remotely
5. How to set up Kiosk Mode

These are your primary decision points:

• Number of people arriving in a 30-minute window of your event's start time - Typically, 70-80% of your attendees will arrive during this window. Be prepared in order to avoid long check-in lines. How do I determine how many kiosks I will need?
• Speed at which you need to check-in one person - General rule: self-check-in is slower than an attendant checking in attendees; scanning remotely is quickest, but has limitations; uploading a .CSV file involves the most steps. How do I test my kiosk set up?
• Cost of scan guns - They start at about $20 for a simple model (requires USB connection to an internet-enabled laptop/device).
• Square feet of the "entrance room" of your venue - Do you have floor space for a check-in table with a laptop and perhaps a badge printer? 

• Scan guns start around $20 (Amazon) and go up to $100s.
• Smartphone apps cost from $1 (Android) to $3 (iPhone)
