colada live in action: Databricks check-in at the CIO meeting in London

A look behind the scenes of our onsite experience with Databricks

When technological efficiency meets real event dynamics, magic is created – or rather: colada in action. At the recent CIO meeting in London, colada had the honor of supporting the onboarding and check-in experience for Databricks directly on site. And with a smooth, secure and intuitive solution that has left an impression on guests and organizers alike.

High-level event, high-end solution

The CIO Meeting is not just any business event. It brings together leading technology decision-makers from across Europe – an ideal place to showcase what seamless digital processes can look like in the real world. This is exactly where colada came into play.

In collaboration with our event partner IEM(https://www.i-eventmanagement.com/) and the Databricks team, we provided our onsite solution: digital check-in stations, individually branded, lightning-fast and reliable.

Check-in: fast, smart, secure

Badge in customer design

The guests received personalized invitations in advance – created and sent directly via colada. On-site check-in was contactless via our check-in stations. In just a few seconds, the participants were checked in, their badges printed and they were able to concentrate fully on the event.

Highlights:

  • Self-service check-in with intuitive interface
  • On-demand badge printing including QR code & branding
  • Live tracking of arrival times for the event team
  • Real-time statistics on participant activity

Branding & Experience: Databricks-Style

The entire check-in route was designed in Databricks’ corporate look and feel – from the welcome interface at the stations to the badges. For many guests, this was their first touchpoint with the brand at the event – and it was a good one.

Conclusion: digital meets physical – and it works

The onsite deployment of colada in London was a complete success. For Databricks, this meant a professional appearance from the very first moment, full control over the flow of participants and valuable insights into event performance. For us: further confirmation that digital processes can make real encounters even better.
