GoLucid Field Notes: Fredo®

GoLucid Field Notes:

Fredo® focuses on on‑demand badge printing and streamlined check‑in for B2B events, with an emphasis on reducing queues and simplifying onsite operations.

In my conversation with Rhiannon Davies (Head of Partnerships and Sales), she discussed how Fredo approaches attendee flow at scale. Rhiannon shared how their plug‑and‑play printers and software allow badges to be printed only when attendees arrive, removing the need for pre‑printing and helping organizers adapt to last‑minute changes. Fredo integrates with major registration platforms and is designed to work reliably even when connectivity is limited.

Fredo is often brought in for larger conferences and trade shows where onsite efficiency and resilience matter. Rhiannon also highlighted their focus on sustainability, including options like plantable badges, alongside their ability to support events globally with consistent hardware and service.

In CECI’s evolving framework, solutions like this may relate to Identity and Credentialing Technology and Operations Technology, but ultimately, category fit is for vendors and the community to help clarify as the model matures.
