Belt and Road Forum delegation check-in
Delegation clerks checked national teams in on Vue screens we built, live at the venue.
The Third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation needed a registration and check-in system for country delegations — not a generic guest list. Each arriving party was a national team: named members, a head of delegation, and a credential that had to match the person at the counter. We built the Vue front end those desks ran.
The situation
Delegations arrived by country. A clerk had to find the right mission, confirm who was in it, and check the person in without mixing them with another flag. The counter said REGISTRATION. Hours were posted in Chinese and English. A badge on a lanyard had to match the delegate standing there.
The brief for us was the screen: how a clerk opens a country, sees its members, and completes check-in in a few seconds. Backend and venue operations sat with the rest of the team. The Vue app had to be the thing staff actually touched while a line of delegations formed.
What we did
We wrote a Vue front end for delegation registration. The main view is a clerk console: search or scan, open the country delegation, confirm the member, and move on. A credential preview sat on the same screen — photo, name, and a signature block — so the operator could see the card before it left the desk.
Country was a first-class object, not a note on a guest record. The clerk could stay inside one delegation, work through its members, and switch to the next mission without dumping the list. Scan input was first-class: a barcode reader next to the machine landed in the same flow as a typed search.
Copy and chrome were bilingual where the venue was bilingual. Buttons and states were sized for a laptop on a counter. We stayed on site for the cutover, watching real clerks check delegations in, and tightening the empty and error states that only show up when the hall is open.
Result
The desks ran on the Vue screens through the event window. Country delegations checked in at the counter. Credentials matched the delegate in front of them. The stations we covered did not fall back to paper lists.
The useful part was not a feature list. It was a front end that kept each mission together: open the country, confirm the member, next. That is the work we still take for on-site systems in China — you bring the event, we make the screen the floor can use.
