Overview

Celebrating Moldova's young talent from around the world

For 13 consecutive years, the Gala Studenților Originari din Republica Moldova has honored the academic and professional excellence of young Moldovans in the diaspora. The XIII edition returned home to Palatul Republicii to celebrate the achievements, dreams, and journeys of young people from across the globe.

Challenge

A large, formal event slowed down by paper lists

A gala of this scale — hundreds of guests arriving in a short window — is exactly where paper check-in breaks down. Manual attendance lists create queues at the door, slow the arrival experience, and give organizers no real-time view of who has actually arrived on one of the event's most important nights.

Solution

Digital check-in and a connected guest experience

Cardneto replaced paper lists with a digital check-in flow: guests were scanned in quickly at the entrance, giving organizers a live, accurate view of attendance throughout the evening. Guests also had the event app to connect with one another, exchanging contacts during a night built around a global community of young Moldovans.

Results

A smooth arrival for 278 guests and a connected room

Of 376 registered guests, 278 checked in through Cardneto — a 73.9% check-in rate — with no paper lists and no entrance bottlenecks. Guests exchanged 42 digital contacts during the evening, adding a networking layer to a celebration that spans a worldwide diaspora. Cardneto saved the organizers time and elevated the guest experience by replacing manual check-in with a fast, digital flow.
