NDC: A Global Event Built on Precision
Since 2008, NDC Conference has grown into a globally recognised event series for software developers. Their flagship event, NDC Oslo, brings together thousands of guests for learning, networking, and collaboration.
Running events at this scale requires more than great content, it demands operational precision, real-time data, and consistent delivery across locations.
“Fredo is a fast, reliable, and user-friendly name badge system. What else could you possibly ask for?” - Jakob Bradford, General Manager at NDC Conferences
To achieve this, NDC built a solution that could scale, not just for one event, but across their global portfolio.
From Registration to On-Site: One Unified System
Checkin as the Operational Backbone
For key events like NDC Oslo, Checkin serves as the central platform to manage:
- Ticket sales and registration
- Attendee data and segmentation
- Payments, automated invoicing, and follow-ups
- Real-time attendee updates
All attendee data lives in one place, ensuring accuracy, visibility, and control across the entire event lifecycle.
This unified data layer also enables integrations with CRM systems, helping teams extend the value of their event beyond the venue.
Fredo Bringing Data to Life On-Site
With Checkin managing the registration and ticketing, Fredo transforms data into a seamless arrival experience:
- Instant, on-demand badge printing
- Personalised name badges with QR codes
- Fast, reliable check-in
- Consistent performance at scale
When a guest updates their data in Checkin or registers at the door, the Checkin API pushes that data to the Fredo printer instantly, meaning the QR code scan always triggers the most up-to-date name badge.
Guests arrive, check in, and move forward without friction.
Scaling the Experience Globally
Consistency is what turns a great event into a repeatable success.
Beyond NDC Oslo, Fredo supports four additional NDC events globally, ensuring the same sleek name badging experience across locations and audiences:
- A consistent setup, regardless of country or venue
- Reliable performance across different event sizes
- A familiar and trusted check-in experience for returning guests
Fredo provides a stable and scalable layer across the entire portfolio, ensuring that the moment of arrival always meets the same high standard.

With Checkin and Fredo working together:
