Overview

Most events are reported as successes. Very few are ever proven to be. Beyond the Badge Scan is a clear-eyed examination of how success in meetings, conferences, and live events is routinely mismeasured - and why that matters more than most organisations realise. Drawing on years of hands-on experience designing, delivering, and analysing event programmes, this book challenges the industry's reliance on vanity metrics: attendance figures, badge scans, impressions, and engagement numbers that look reassuring in reports but reveal very little about real value. Rather than arguing that events ""can't"" be measured, Beyond the Badge Scan makes the opposite case. The problem isn't measurement - it's what we choose to measure, and why. Inside, you'll explore: Why vanity metrics exist - and why organisations cling to them How activity gets mistaken for impact, again and again The risks of reporting numbers that feel safe but prove nothing What meaningful success actually looks like beyond attendance and scans How to think more clearly about ROI, outcomes, and evidence of value This isn't a book about production tricks, creative formats, or running better events on the day. It's about understanding whether your events are working at all - and having the confidence to say so honestly. If you're responsible for planning, approving, reporting on, or justifying events - whether client-side or agency-side - Beyond the Badge Scan will change how you think about success, measurement, and value. Because events don't fail quietly. Bad metrics just make them look like they didn't.
