From registration to check-in, all in one place

A registration page for every event, a waiting list when it's full, check-in on a phone on the day and the running order in front of whoever is hosting. Meetings, breakfasts, workshops, fairs or evening events.

Check-in for a consultation meeting on a phone: at the top, 12 registered, 9 present, 0 absent, 0 excused; a search box, sorting by name and the PDF list button; then each participant with their organisation where they have one and three buttons for present, absent and excused, those present highlighted in green, one participant marked “no photos”, and at the bottom the Add on site button.

On the day

A welcome desk without paper

6.25 pm. Three volunteers at the door, each with a phone. The queue moves: type three letters of a name, tap “present”. Someone turns up without registering; they're added in a few seconds. Every phone shows the same counters.

6.50 pm, the desk closes: one lock, and the list stays as it is. The next day there's nothing to copy out: registrations, the evening's check-in and the running order are all in one place.

The same events page on a phone: the next event shown large, with its Register, Directions and Calendar buttons, followed by the next events as cards.

How it works

Three moments

Before: publish

You create the event and it appears on the public page with its registration button. A draft stays hidden until you publish it.

While registrations come in: follow

Each person gets a confirmation email. Once the places are taken, the next registrations go on the waiting list.

On the day: check in

One or more phones at the door, search by name, and walk-ins added on the spot.

Included

What's included

No account needed

A short form you set up yourself, a confirmation email, and no duplicate if someone registers twice.

Places and waiting list

When places run low the page says so, then “Full”: further registrations go on the waiting list.

Learn more : Places and waiting list

Who can register

Open to all, members only, or a first visit for non-members. You set it for each event.

Check-in as a team

Several phones check in the same event; the lock freezes the list once the welcome desk closes.

Printable list

The list as a PDF, with three boxes for present, absent and excused, for those who prefer paper.

Where it comes from

Built in the field

This tool was built with Réseau Actif, an entrepreneurs' club, for its own meetings, then opened up to any organisation: each account has its own event types, host venues and running orders.

The screens shown on this website are the app's own, with sample participants and events.

The event management screen on a computer: the “Event types and who can take part” and “Registration form” panels, then each event as a card with its title, date, venue and number of registrations (7 for the fair, 7 of 7 for the workshop), Edit and Deactivate buttons, and links to participants, mailing, social posts and preparation.

Frequently asked questions

Before you start

Do participants need an account?
No. They register with their first name, last name and email address; you decide whether the name of their company or organisation is required. Someone who registers twice with the same address is recognised: they only appear once in the list.
We don't keep a list of members. Is that a problem?
No. As long as no members are recorded in Ngento, the rule offered for your events is “open to all”. The “members only” and “first visit” rules are only for organisations that keep their members there.
What happens to participants' information?
Below the form, everyone can read what their information is used for, who sees it, how long it is kept and who to contact to have it corrected or deleted. You choose how long: after that, names, emails, phone numbers, organisations and comments are erased from your events, once a day, automatically; the counts of registrants and attendees stay accurate, without any names. An address added to your contact list stays there until the person asks to be removed, and the notice says so.
Can we send participants a reminder?
Yes, with Mailing, Ngento's email tool: from the event you prepare the announcement, a follow-up for people who haven't registered and a reminder for those who have. Without Mailing, nothing goes out on its own; the “Calendar” button on the event page adds it to the phone's calendar, with an alert three hours before.
Can we sell tickets?
Not at this time. Registration is free for participants: there is no ticketing and no online payment.
Do we need QR codes or badges?
No. You find someone by typing a few letters of their name, and mark them present with a single tap.
Can our welcome volunteers see everything?
No. Give them the Welcome desk role: they check arrivals in without access to event management. Each of them needs their own access to your Ngento app.
Which languages?
The screens are available in French, English, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish, registration form included. Confirmation emails and printed documents stay in French; your events, and your rules if you write your own, appear in the language you wrote them in.
How much does it cost?
Prices will be announced before sign-ups to Ngento open, and people on the waiting list will receive them first.

Join the waiting list

Ngento isn't taking new sign-ups at the moment. Leave your email address: we'll let you know as soon as sign-ups open and send you the prices before anyone else.

The information you leave is used to let you know when Ngento opens, to send you the prices and to understand your needs better. You can ask for it to be deleted at any time by writing to contact@challl.com.
