LoveQR widget for events and activities
By Adrien Gisclon, founder of LoveQR. Published on 17 September 2026. Updated on 27 September 2026.
In brief: an event brings together people who often never speak to each other. LoveQR widgets work on all three moments: before, by showing what surrounds the site; during, by letting attendees see who is there and open to talking; after, by leaving the content attached to the place. And because a temporary venue can be claimed, a three-day festival gets its own widget.
The three moments of an event
Before
Answer practical questions
On your information page, the “Around this place” widget shows places, points of interest, activities and other events within a radius of up to 5 km. The public sees where to eat, what to do before the doors open, and what's happening the rest of the weekend.
During
Help people find each other
Attendees who check in on site see who else is there, with an emoji and a current intent (“alone at the concert, open to chatting”, “looking for people for stage 2”). They can message each other privately, without having to approach anyone cold.
After
Keep a trace, and contacts
Published content stays attached to the place and joins the area's augmented reality view. Attendees can also stay visible for 48 hours in the list after leaving: it's often the next day that people decide to write.
The temporary venue, the feature made for you
Widgets attached to a venue are reserved for professionals who have claimed that venue, fixed or temporary. A festival, a flea market, a village fair, a Christmas market or a weekend tournament can therefore have its own widget, generated from the Pro area, for that venue only.
In practice, your festival ground becomes a card in its own right for the duration of the event, with its Community section for content and its Presence section for attendees on site.
On a computer, the full widget displays a QR page: the full-screen experience applies to phones and tablets.
Beyond the website
On printed materials
Paper programme, posters, badges, entrance signs: a QR code pointing to the page that carries the widget extends every medium.
For volunteers and teams
A LoveQR displayed at the volunteers' meeting point helps newcomers get to know each other, which is often the real challenge of the first day.
For clubs and regular activities
Publish your training session, your rehearsal or your trial class on the card of the place where it happens. People passing nearby see it, without having to follow a page or sign up to a list.
Eleven languages, with no extra work
The interface and all detail cards (activities, events, places, points of interest) exist in French, English, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Ukrainian. The widget automatically follows the language of the page hosting it, via its lang attribute. For an international festival, that's that many fewer translations to manage.
Embedding
- Choose the centre point: the event site, or the option that uses the visitor's position.
- Choose the theme: normal, dark or light, to match your visual identity.
- Copy the code generated on the API and widgets page, as an iframe or a script.
- Paste it into the page you want. The widget is responsive and takes the width of its container.
On the data side: public content only, no intimate profile, no exact position of any person, no tracking cookies and no third-party analytics. The details are on the privacy page.
What it doesn't do. A widget is not a ticketing tool, nor a feed of announcements you control: the content comes from members and doesn't go through your validation. And in a region that is still quiet, it will mostly show places. For a first event, the most effective approach is to publish your programme yourself on the venue's card, and display a QR code at the entrance so the public feeds the area.
Frequently asked questions
Can a temporary event have a widget?
Yes. Venue widgets are reserved for professionals who have claimed a venue, fixed or temporary. A festival, a flea market or a three-day event can therefore have its own widget, generated from the Pro area.
How does the widget help event attendees?
Before, it shows what surrounds the site: places, points of interest, activities and other events within up to 5 km. During, attendees who check in on site see who else is there and open to talking, with an emoji and a current intent.
Which widget should an event website use?
“Around this place” for a practical information page, because it is read-only and requires no account. “Full LoveQR” for a dedicated page or an on-site screen, since it gives access to the whole experience, augmented reality included.
Will foreign visitors understand the widget?
Yes. The interface and the detail cards exist in the 11 LoveQR languages, and the widget automatically follows the language of the page hosting it.
What is left after the event?
Published content stays attached to the place and joins the LoveQR network, so it also appears in the area's augmented reality view. Attendees can also stay visible for 48 hours in the place's list after leaving, which leaves time to write to someone met the night before.
Do I need an account to view the widget?
Not to read public content. Posting, commenting or showing presence requires signing in, which naturally limits abuse.
