Fredo

Overview

Fredo is an event-technology provider focused on on-site name badge printing and attendee check-in for B2B conferences, expos and corporate events. Its service combines event check-in software, compact printers, badges, lanyards, attendee-list integrations, equipment shipping, onboarding and support rather than selling standalone hardware. The company states that its system serves events ranging from roughly 50 to 15,000 attendees and has been used across dozens of countries.

History

Fredo is the rebranded successor to Ticketbutler, an event technology company founded by the team behind Ticketbutler. The Fredo identity was introduced in 2025 to focus more directly on on-site name badge printing and check-in for B2B events and conferences. The company reports supporting more than 5,000 events and printing over 590,000 check-in badges since 2017. Its UK market is described as its largest and fastest-growing sector.

Manufacturing

Fredo supplies compact event printers, check-in phones, badges, lanyards and related hardware through a distributed equipment and logistics model. The available company information does not establish that it manufactures hardware in-house; its software, support, onboarding and event logistics are combined into the service.

Reputation

Fredo is positioned by event professionals as a practical supplier for high-volume conferences where reliable arrival operations matter. Reported strengths include compact equipment, quick setup, integration with registration platforms, backup operation during connectivity problems and support before and during events. Its service is business-to-business and quote-based, with limited publicly disclosed pricing, and the available information provides little independent evidence for evaluating long-term reliability beyond company and partner case studies.
