Boomset

Boomset is useful when the event-day problem is onsite flow: check in guests, print badges, support kiosks, track sessions, and give exhibitors lead retrieval. The main diligence item is current ownership and support continuity because Boomset's product history runs through Hopin and broader event asset changes.

Honest Limitations

Ownership And Product Roadmap Need Confirmation

Boomset was acquired by Hopin, and Hopin later sold event assets; buyers should confirm who contracts, supports, and maintains the product now.

Pricing Is Not Public

Boomset pages promote trials and contact, but public package pricing is not visible.

Onsite Hardware Risk

Badge printers, iPads, kiosks, scanners, Wi-Fi, and power need real pre-event testing.

Facial Recognition Requires Policy Review

If using biometric features, confirm consent, retention, deletion, and regional privacy obligations.

Not Registration-First

Boomset can support onsite registration workflows, but many teams will still pair it with a dedicated registration system.

Pricing Breakdown
Plan Price Details
Onsite Check-In / Badge Printing Quote-based Guest list import, mobile check-in, onsite badge printing, reports, and support
Lead Retrieval Quote-based Exhibitor lead capture app and reporting; event-specific pricing should be confirmed
Kiosk / RFID / Session Tracking Quote-based add-ons Advanced onsite workflows may require additional hardware, setup, and support

Hidden Costs to Watch

  • ! Badge stock, printers, iPads, kiosks, scanners, and onsite network
  • ! Onsite technical staffing and rehearsal time
  • ! Lead retrieval licenses for exhibitors
  • ! Privacy review for RFID or facial recognition workflows

Boomset is an onsite operations tool for the moments where lines, badges, lead scans, and session data can make or break the attendee experience. It is most relevant for live events that need more control than a standard registration platform provides at the door.

Do the ownership and hardware diligence early. Confirm current support, run a full printer and check-in rehearsal, and document privacy rules before relying on Boomset for a busy arrival window.
