SmartFair Attendee App Overview

Our SmartFair Attendee App is a powerful tool designed to enhance the college fair experience for students, colleges, and organizers. This app provides key features that streamline event navigation, engagement, and interaction. 

Accessing the app is simple - no download or password needed. For more information, see this article: Getting Started

1. Customized Student Pages: My Matches, Favorites, and Visited

My Matches shows a personalized list of colleges that matched with the student on key attributes, including campus size, areas of study, and geographic region, using College Matchmaking®. 

College Matchmaking® helps students build their college fair roadmap. Students receive a list of “best match” and “close match” institutions via email, as well as easy access to their matches directly in the app. This helps students to navigate the college search process with clarity and purpose. 

To learn more, see this article: What is College Matchmaking®? 

Or visit our website: College Matchmaking® 

Favorites shows the list of colleges saved by the student, including their personal notes. 

Visited shows the list of colleges that the student connected with at the booth. 

2. Select "Scan Me" to view your QR code to connect with colleges. 

Each attendee receives a unique QR code that serves as their event pass. This QR code allows students to quickly share their contact details with colleges by scanning at booths, reducing the need for paper forms and making the process seamless. 

3. View a list of participating colleges and their booth numbers under "All Colleges." 

Take notes for each college directly in the app to track your impressions.

Select the heart icon to add the college to your favorites list. 

A new way to connect with colleges! Share your info with colleges you're interested in.

This is a great way to pass your info along to colleges you missed seeing at the fair. When you share your info, colleges can connect with you to provide more information and answer your questions.
