How a hybrid virtual and physical queuing system can help events and brand activations reach their full potential

A packed activation is a sign of a successful event. The real challenge is striking the right balance: of keeping a visible physical line that signals demand, without making guests stand in place so long that it ruins their experience. With NextMe’s hybrid model, attendees scan a QR code to join the wait virtually, hold their spot without standing in place for hours, and receive an SMS notification when their turn is approaching.

Retain more attendees and reduce the workload on your staff

Wait times may be inevitable, but they don’t need to hurt the attendee experience at your event. NextMe gives you all the tools you need to manage expectations and streamline your attendee flow. Events that use NextMe often see a 30% increase in attendee retention while freeing up event staff to focus on other important tasks. A hybrid virtual and physical queueing solution doesn’t need to be overcomplicated, and we’re here to help you modernize your workflow in just a few easy steps.

NextMe Waitlist Operational Efficiency

Manage lines and crowds at peak demand

Lines signal excitement but chaos doesn’t have to come with them. With NextMe, attendees receive a text notifying them that they’re next in line. They can either return when it’s closer to their turn to check in, or cancel. If they cancel, your staff simply moves on to the next guest in the queue. With Self Check-in, you can let attendees join the wait on their own. It’s an easy, efficient, and way more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
