We Bet You’ll Be a Fan of Passcode Plus Pin Audio Conferencing Events
Here’s why…
Consider this scenario: your company’s top marketing execs want to talk to 1,000 partners who are scattered around the world. The execs have sensitive news to share about upcoming products. You need this event to happen on time and go smooth as silk. There are at least two flies in the ointment. If you use a common pass code that many people know, there’s the chance that someone may use it at the wrong time and crash your party. Also, people tend to dial in at the last moment, delaying the start of the call. Been there, done that, right? And you’ve been asked to gather some information about the partners who attend.
After hearing customer wish lists for similar types of conferences, we decided to enhance Passcode Plus Pin, a feature of our Elite and Operator Assisted audio conferencing services. Think of it as an all-purpose flyswatter.

Using Passcode Plus Pin, you can allow, or require, participants to pre-register for your event. Each person who registers, along with anyone else you want to invite, receives an event confirmation email that includes a pass code and unique PIN that is valid only for a specific event. You can supply Pins or we’ll create them. When it’s time to start the meeting, attendees dial the access number and enter their Pin. They are placed immediately into the audio conference. Speakers also register and use a Pin that enters them into the speaker conference before an operator introduces them in the live event.
And the “so what?” The customizable registration page helps in two ways. It captures accurate contact information, because the attendees enter it themselves, and you can create up to 30 fields to collect other information. Speakers and participants are never entered into the wrong conference. Hold and wait times are eliminated for everyone. Shortly after the event, you receive a list of participants so you know who showed up and who didn’t. But Passcode Plus Pin is flexible. Registration is standard, but not essential. And oops, a couple of people on your list forgot to register but want to attend? No problem. They call in and speak to an operator, who can enter them into the meeting.
Sometimes meetings require a little extra security, or assurance of on-time starts, or special data gathering. We understand. And that’s why we created Passcode Plus Pin.
Alright, enough about us, what do you think? What audio conferencing event challenges have you encountered? Would this help?
