Questions About Event QR Codes
What is an Event (vCalendar) QR Code?
This QR code stores event details in a vCalendar (.vcs) format. When scanned, it prompts the user to add the event—with the pre-filled title, location, start time, and end time—directly to their smartphone's calendar (like Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, etc.).
What happens when someone scans it?
Their phone will recognize it's a calendar event and will open a preview (e.g., "Add to Calendar?"). The user can then confirm and save it to their personal calendar with one tap.
Are the start and end times required?
The 'Event Title' and 'Start Time' are the most important fields. If you leave the 'End Time' blank, many calendars will simply default to a standard one-hour duration from the start time.
Where can I use an Event QR Code?
They are perfect for wedding invitations, concert posters, business meeting agendas, presentation slides, or any flyer for a time-sensitive event. It's the fastest way to get your event onto someone's schedule.
Boost Your Event Attendance
Never Get Forgotten: How Event QR Codes Boost RSVP Rates
The biggest enemy of event attendance isn't a lack of interest—it's friction. Making someone manually type your event details into their calendar is a huge point of friction. They might forget, make a typo, or just not bother.
An Event QR Code solves this instantly. By letting users add your event to their calendar with a single scan, you capture their commitment in the moment. This dramatically increases the chances they'll remember and actually attend. It's a simple hack to turn passive interest into an active calendar entry.
