How does the team influence the level of accreditation process quality?

Accreditation is a complex process in which proper organization, management, and attention to detail are required – it is only by adhering to these that you can provide a suitable level of access management and security. Each event’s accreditation is a separate project, and like any other project, it requires strong teamwork and a collaborative approach. It is impossible to accredit your event without assembling a credentialing team to establish and manage the processes needed for proper event organization. Therefore, we will take a closer look at how a team influences the quality of the accreditation process in this article.

Why is a team approach essential in event accreditation?

Here are a few facts that highlight the importance of a team approach in accreditation:

• Outsourcing a good accreditation team is more cost-effective than assembling an in-house team. You don't need to expend resources or time teaching colleagues how to establish event accreditation, find suitable team members, or pay high compensation for each person. Instead, you can outsource your duties to a group of experts who, in a short time, will deliver the best solutions for the accreditation of your event.
• A team of accreditation experts can quickly be involved in any stage of the accreditation process and, if needed, make an overview and assessment of problems you might face while managing your event. Experts can, for example, focus on developing ways to improve your event’s security by assessing possible threats. Additionally, they can propose access management ideas, such as preparing tailored accreditation badges and establishing entry checks in different parts of the venue.
• You can create an entire blueprint of the event accreditation with the accreditation team, from zone planning to the accreditation of media representatives or security staff. Additionally, the accreditation team can simultaneously be involved in multiple projects, such as managing the credentialing process for various events at different venues. You should consult more attentively with the team to distribute the time and resources of experts rationally.

Establishing the accreditation process with a team

Developing an accreditation solution with a team of experts is about constant communication with the event organizer and analyzing all important aspects and challenges of the accreditation process for an upcoming event. Accreditation preparation should be done in advance to eliminate the possibility of misunderstandings and threats that can occur at the event. To ensure this, the preparation of the accreditation process with a team is done in the several following steps:

1. Gathering and analysing all important information about the event type, size, guests, and more. Exchanging ideas with the customer to create a general overview of the project.
2. Conceptual development of the accreditation solution. At this stage, the team assesses everything that should be done to get an event accredited. This can include choosing the right accreditation software and means of guest identification and access, like accreditation badges, QR-codes, or an RFID system; planning the access zones and security checks, preparation of media accreditation system, and so on.
3. Presenting the solution to the customer and negotiating all points of it. The customer may issue some adjustments or remarks; these are considered, and new approaches to the problems are developed if there are any.
4. Implementation of the accreditation onsite. This stage can be the most time-consuming and includes the preparation of accreditation and security check decks, printing accreditation badges, and hiring the right personnel or volunteers to enable the accreditation system to function. Moreover, directly monitoring the situation at the event is also a significant aspect of solution implementation.
