Service: RFID Attendance Tracking & Reporting for Workshops & Conferences

Overview

Access93 has been supporting a growing number of corporate clients with a new way to manage CPD compliance and mandatory training attendance using RFID technology to streamline and secure the entire process.

At recent conferences and training days, we deployed a contactless RFID solution that allows delegates to simply scan into workshop rooms using their pass, with attendance time tracked automatically. This not only removes the need for manual sign-in sheets or barcode scans, but also provides organisers with clear, auditable reports on delegate engagement and compliance.

How It Works

Each delegate is issued a custom-printed RFID-enabled badge or pass upon arrival. These passes contain a unique UHF or HF chip linked to the delegate’s profile.

At the entrance to each workshop, breakout room, or CPD session, we deploy discreet RFID scanners either handheld or fixed, which capture each delegate’s entry (and optionally, exit) time.

This data is then automatically logged and made available through a reporting dashboard, providing:

  • Entry and exit timestamps
  • Total duration attended per session
  • Session-by-session CPD logs
  • Flags for under-attendance or missed workshops

Organisers can set minimum attendance thresholds and generate CPD certificates or audit reports instantly after the event.

Key Benefits

  • Touchless & Secure – No need for staff-managed sign-in sheets or QR scanning queues
  • Fully Compliant – Reliable logs that meet regulatory requirements in healthcare, education, and financial services
  • Real-Time Visibility – Instantly see who’s in which room, and for how long
  • Custom Reporting – Filter by delegate, session, company, or qualification type
  • User-Friendly – Delegates simply wear their pass and tap in; no additional app or login required
  • Fast Deployment – RFID readers can be installed quickly with minimal disruption

Ideal Use Cases

This solution is proving especially valuable for organisations with mandatory training and CPD tracking obligations, including:

  • Healthcare conferences and workshops (NHS trusts, private healthcare)
  • Education providers and teacher CPD events
  • Financial institutions with regulated training requirements
  • Internal corporate development programmes and off-site events

It’s also ideal for multi-session agendas, where delegates move between rooms and need to prove attendance across multiple tracks.

Outcome

By using RFID scanning to track delegate attendance, our clients gain both efficiency and peace of mind. They’re able to confidently report who completed the required sessions, how long they attended, and issue certificates or compliance documentation without delays or manual reconciliation.

This technology not only reduces admin — it strengthens data integrity and improves the overall delegate experience.
