# Convention Quick-Start

> Sign up for PlaneConnection at a trade show or event using the fast, passwordless quick-start flow.

By the end of this tutorial, you will have a PlaneConnection workspace set up and ready to use -- all from a QR code scan at a trade show.

<Info>
  **Who should do this tutorial?** Attendees at aviation trade shows (NBAA-BACE, Sun 'n Fun, NBAA
  SDC) who received a PlaneConnection QR code or link. If you are setting up PlaneConnection{" "}
  outside of an event, see the standard [Quickstart](/en/tutorials/quickstart) instead.
</Info>

## Getting started

<Steps>
  ### Step 1: Scan the QR code or open the link

  The QR code takes you to a page like:

  ```
  app.planeconnection.com/start?archetype=flight_ops&event=NBAA_BACE
  ```

  You should see a start page with your event and role pre-configured in the URL.

  ### Step 2: Enter your name and email

  The start page shows two fields: **Your Name** and **Email**. Fill them in and click **Get Started Free**.

  You should see a confirmation that your account has been created. A magic link is sent to your email for future sign-ins -- no password needed.

  ### Step 3: Set up your workspace

  You are redirected to the setup page. Fill in:

  * **Organization Name** -- your company or flight department name.
  * **Role** -- what best describes you. If you scanned a role-specific QR code, this is already selected.
  * **Operator Size** -- small, medium, or large operator classification.

  Click **Create Workspace** to proceed. You should see a loading screen as your workspace is created.

  ### Step 4: Complete onboarding

  After workspace creation, you enter the [AI-guided onboarding](/en/tutorials/onboarding) experience. ALI walks you through configuring your SMS program, identifying your safety team, and setting up safety performance indicators.

  You now have a working PlaneConnection workspace.

  To sign back in later, use the magic link sent to your email. You can set a password from **Settings > Security** if you prefer.
