Have you ever attended a conference, waited in line to register, you register, but there is no clear way to exit the line?
🙋🏽♀️
It happens.
Using this photo as a reference, here's the fix:
🤨Having stanchions up against the reg desk gives attendees no way to leave the line when they're done. Place stanchions about 3-5 feet away from the registration desk leaving space for attendees to exit.
👍Place a WAIT HERE line on the floor (wide masking tape or a sign on each stanchion post) so attendees stop at the line while the attendee at the desk registers.
🧍🏽♀️Have a line monitor available to provide direction and answer quick questions.
