What started as personal frustration at an event has now turned into a full tech solution for Nigeria’s event industry.
Emmanuel Okpanachi said his decision to build CheckdIn came after he experienced first-hand how chaotic event registration and entry could be. Long queues, lost guest lists, and poor coordination left him wondering why there wasn’t a simpler way to manage it all.
That experience pushed him to create CheckdIn, a digital ticketing and event management platform. The goal was to take the stress out of organizing and attending events by moving everything online.With CheckdIn, organizers can now handle registration, ticketing, guest check-ins, and attendee data from one dashboard.
Attendees also benefit from faster entry, e-tickets, and a smoother process from start to finish.Okpanachi says the platform was built to help event planners save time, reduce errors, and deliver a better experience. What began as one bad day at an event has grown into a tool now helping other organizers avoid the same problems.
