Hi Adrian! Ideally, this would be something we could set up on a table at the event and have everyone check themselves in, primarily focused on member events, but could be when they're just accessing the coworking space or meeting rooms, too. We don't have member access cards at the moment but I'm not averse to exploring. What type of reliable member access cards are out there and what UHF-based radio cards tie into them, that you know of?
