SIBA BeerX 2026 at a glance
As the UK’s flagship trade event for independent brewing, SIBA BeerX 2026 brought together thousands of craft brewers, industry suppliers and beer enthusiasts for a jam-packed two-day schedule of seminars, regional beer showcases and prestigious industry awards.
To support the event’s growth, the BeerX organisers needed a robust registration system capable of handling complex ticket types, from SIBA members and trade buyers to speakers and VIP award nominees. By delivering an intuitive online registration platform, instant live badge printing, dedicated onsite support and an integrated mobile app, we ensured a frictionless, end-to-end journey for every attendee.
Solutions deployed: custom online registration, onsite badge printing, onsite tech specialists, mobile event app.

What challenges did BeerX face with registration at scale?
Trade exhibitions of this scale come with unique operational hurdles:
BeerX serves diverse groups: SIBA brewery members, trade visitors, exhibitors and media. The registration workflow needed to automatically apply logic and conditional forms based on member status and ticket tiers.
The client needed a unified tech stack so attendee data flowed seamlessly from initial online sign-up to onsite check-in and engagement inside the mobile app.
How did All In The Loop build a frictionless registration engine?
We built a clean, branded registration portal configured specifically for BeerX 2026. The registration site allowed delegates to easily sign up, select sessions and receive an instant confirmation email featuring a unique, scannable QR code. Custom registration paths ensured SIBA members received appropriate access rights and member pricing automatically.
How did onsite check-in and badge printing work?
To eliminate arrival queues, we deployed a rapid QR-code check-in system at Exhibition Centre Liverpool. Upon arrival, delegates simply scanned the QR code from their mobile devices. High-speed thermal printers generated custom, crisp badges in under two seconds, complete with personalised details and visual tier indicators (Exhibitor, Delegate, Speaker).
What did the onsite tech specialists do?
Technology is only as strong as the team behind it. We dispatched two expert members of staff onsite throughout the event setup and live days. Our team managed:
Kiosk setup, network sync and hardware monitoring.
Hands-on assistance for fast-track registration and last-minute walk-ups.
Rapid line management during peak arrival windows, ensuring delegates moved from the front doors to the exhibition hall in seconds.
How did the mobile event app extend the delegate journey?
The delegate journey didn’t end at the registration desk. Registrants were automatically synced into the BeerX 2026 Event App, enabling them to:
Access their digital badge directly from their phone.
View interactive seminar schedules, speaker profiles and floor plans.
Connect and network with fellow independent brewers and exhibitors in real time.
