From Paper Forms to QR Codes: How Grøn Koncert Transformed Consent Collection with Connie

How Grøn Koncert Transformed Consent Collection with Connie

When tens of thousands of people gather every summer for Grøn Koncert – one of Denmark’s biggest touring music festivals – the atmosphere is electric. But behind the scenes, the team responsible for documenting the event faced a familiar logistical nightmare: collecting consent from the many attendees featured in photos and videos.

Until recently, this meant chasing signatures with stacks of paper forms across crowded festival grounds — a slow, inefficient, and error-prone process that often held back the creative team.

“This is a relief. Connie makes it so much easier for us to collect consent on-site because we no longer have to run around with piles of paper.”

A Smarter Way to Collect Consent

For Grøn Koncert, the introduction of Connie was a turning point. Instead of paper forms, photographers now wear a simple lanyard with a QR code attached to their camera. When they want to photograph someone, they simply ask them to scan the code and sign digitally on their phone.

“It’s so easy. We can just send photographers out, and they get people to scan the QR code and sign. Going digital has made everything much faster.”

The new system means that consent can be collected in seconds – without interrupting the creative flow or the energy of the event.

Faster, Easier, and More Effective

Switching to Connie has delivered immediate, measurable benefits.

• Faster workflows: With digital signatures, the team collects consent more quickly, allowing photographers to capture more moments in less time.

• More images captured: Freed from paperwork, photographers can focus on documenting the event rather than managing forms.

• Seamless experience for attendees: People are used to using digital tools, so scanning a QR code feels natural and effortless.

“The best part of using Connie is having one central place where all our consents are stored – and I can easily find them if we ever need them again.”

Security and Compliance, Without the Hassle

Beyond the convenience, Connie has brought peace of mind. All consents are securely stored and easily searchable, ensuring that the Grøn Koncert team stays GDPR-compliant without spending hours on administrative tasks.

What used to be a cumbersome, manual process is now fast, intuitive, and fully digital – leaving more time and energy for what matters most: capturing the magic of the festival.
