What Markham hires

The badge desk decides how the whole day feels.

Conferences and corporate days in this city tend to open the same way: a foyer fills at once and every person in it needs a lanyard before any door past the desk will let them through. The line in front of that desk is rarely one line. It is split — A to F, G to M, N to Z, or speakers, sponsors, delegates and walk-ins — and each lane has to be legible from the far end of the foyer, so that people pick the right one as they walk in rather than discovering the mistake at the front.

Lanes by letter or by pass

Belt posts set as parallel lanes, one per desk, so the split printed on the sign is the split people actually stand in.

Signs readable from the doors

Sign holders and T-stands at the head of every lane carrying the surname range or the ticket type, large enough to read across the foyer.

A side lane for the awkward badge

One short lane set apart for lost registrations and name changes, so a single difficult case never stalls a whole queue behind it.

Where we deliver

From Unionville out to the Highway 7 corridor.

Most orders here go to hotel conference floors and corporate campuses clustered along the highways, where the foyer is booked by the day and the loading area is shared with the kitchen. Delivery, setup and collection each appear as a separate figure on the quote, and for a registration layout the setup figure is the one organisers most often take, because the lanes have to line up with desks that somebody else is positioning.

  • Unionville
  • Thornhill
  • Cornell
  • Milliken
  • Cathedraltown
  • Box Grove
  • Stouffville
  • Richmond Hill
  • Scarborough
  • Pickering

Registration lines in this city usually form in one of these:

  • the conference hotels along Highway 7
  • the corporate and technology campuses near Highway 404
  • the banquet and convention floors off Woodbine Avenue
  • the civic centre and the public square beside it
  • the halls along the heritage main street in Unionville
  • the community centres and the university campus downtown

Send the desk plan with the brief — how many desks, and what each one covers — and the lanes are counted from the desks outward.

Worth asking

Registration questions from Markham organisers.

What does renting stanchions in Markham cost per day?
Either set on the price list — a gold post carrying velvet rope, or a black post carrying a retractable belt — runs $19 a day, $29 across three days and $39 across a week. Registration desks here nearly always use the belt set, because a badge lane is a queue rather than a display. Bringing the posts to the venue, arranging them into lanes and taking them away afterwards are separate figures on the quote, and each of the three is optional.
How many lanes should a registration desk have?
One per desk is the usual starting point, plus a short side lane for whatever goes wrong. Splitting by surname works when every delegate is treated alike; splitting by ticket type works when speakers, sponsors and exhibitors need to bypass the main line. Tell us which split you are using and the lane count follows from it.
Can the lane signs carry the conference branding?
Yes. Sign holders and T-stands take a printed panel, and belts can carry a logo along their length. Printed pieces are produced against the order, so the surname ranges and ticket names need settling before the brief is sent — a lane sign showing the wrong letters is worse than no sign.
What happens to the lanes once everyone has a badge?
Belts retract into their posts and venue staff can move the posts to the wall, so the foyer reopens as a networking space without anything leaving the building. If the lanes are wanted again for a later session or a second conference day, they go back where they stood instead of being ordered twice.
Can a VIP or speaker desk look different from the main lanes?
Yes. A speaker or partner desk often sits a little apart, and polished posts with velvet rope mark it as separate without a sign having to say so. Rope and belt sets travel on one order and come back on one collection.
