Frequently asked questions

What is inConfe?

inConfe is a Dubai-based event technology and operations company. It combines a cloud event registration platform with on-site teams for guest registration, access control, badge printing and event staffing, and has operated in the UAE since 2024.

Can we book event staff in Dubai without the platform?

Yes. Depending on the project, event staff can be booked as a standalone service: hostesses, interpreters and promotional staff for exhibitions, openings and corporate events, with stand items sourced on request. For smaller events, a light version of the platform can be provided with the team: guests are checked in against your list and you see arrivals in real time.

How many registration staff are needed for 100 guests?

Typically 2–3 people: two registration hostesses and one supervisor who manages the equipment and supports badge printing at peak times. For a simple check-in against a guest list, two people are often sufficient.

How many registration staff are needed for 500 guests?

It depends on the arrival pattern. At an exhibition, where visitors arrive with tickets or QR codes evenly throughout the day, 4–6 people are sufficient. At a forum with VIP guests, where most attendees arrive within one hour and each check-in takes 20 seconds to a minute, registration alone can require 8–10 people.

How many staff are needed for an event of 1,000 guests with VIPs?

At minimum, a head of staff and two coordinators, 3–4 tablets for registration plus the staff’s smartphones as QR scanners, and hostesses for check-in and guest navigation between the venue zones. The number of hostesses depends on the arrival pattern, the number of entrances and the VIP categories.

Why do VIP guests require additional staff?

VIP guests usually arrive without QR tickets and are registered manually, which takes longer. At the EYWA event “Celebration of a New Era in Real Estate – Generation 5.0” at Bluewaters Forum we deployed 16 staff across 3 desks (tickets, VIP invitations and VVIP), supported by 2 supervisors, a head of staff and security.

Which languages do your event staff speak?

Teams typically work in English plus the language of your guests. We have staffed events in English, Arabic, Russian, French, Turkish, Italian, Spanish and Chinese, and provide interpreters for exhibition stands.

Do guests need to install an app?

No. Guests receive a QR code by email and open the event page in their phone browser. Staff scan the codes with a phone or iPad, also without an app.

Can badges be printed on site?

Yes. Badges with name, company and job title are printed at check-in from registration data. Badges and lanyards can also be produced in advance.

Do you provide registration desks, press walls and roll-ups?

Yes. We produce or rent registration desks, backdrops, press walls and roll-ups branded for your event, and install them as part of the registration area.

Can you manage security and access control at the entrance?

Yes. Our access control manager either recruits and briefs a security team for your event, or briefs and manages security provided by the venue or the client, ensuring consistent entry rules at every entrance. For VIP zones and queues we install VIP barriers (stanchions with ropes).

Can registration run without venue power or reliable Wi-Fi?

Yes. Our badge printers are battery-powered, and our own iPads and laptops operate for approximately 8 hours on battery. Printers and equipment run on our own internet connection, while iPads and laptops can also use the venue Wi-Fi, even on a slow or weak connection.

Do you provide staff uniforms, make-up artists and radio communication?

Yes. We select uniforms to match your event, provide make-up artists for the staff and, on request, for the client, equip the on-site team with radios, and apply camera stickers to staff phones at private events.

Can event agencies work with inConfe under their own brand?

Yes. We remove inConfe logos from event pages, invitations and badges, so guests see your or your client’s branding. Invitations and reminders can be sent from your or your client’s Google mailbox through our integration, so all correspondence stays in that mailbox, and our on-site team works as part of your crew. Dedicated white-label deployments are available on request.

Can we keep collecting registrations in our own system?

Yes. Many organisers start collecting registrations in their own forms or ticketing system and share the guest list with us before the event. We import it into inConfe and switch to our registration link for the final stage, so QR codes, check-in and badge printing run in one system on the day.

Can you also organise production, décor, AV and the full event?

Yes. Event planning, venue selection, stage and décor, exhibition stands, AV and lighting, photo and video, entertainment and transport are delivered with vetted production partners we work with regularly in Dubai. We select and manage the partners and take responsibility for their delivery as for our own, so you keep one point of contact and receive one consolidated proposal.

Which venues in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have you worked at?

Our teams have operated at venues across the UAE, including Museum of the Future, Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), where we provided hostesses for CyberArk at GISEC Global, Expo City Dubai (including Al Wasl Plaza), DIFC, Palace Downtown, Bluewaters Forum, Address Beach Resort at JBR, Radisson RED Dubai Silicon Oasis, voco Monaco Dubai and other venues at The Heart of Europe on The World Islands, and Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental in Abu Dhabi.
