Lead Retrieval:
All NACAC Global Universities Fair exhibitors will be using the GoToCollegeFairs (GTCF) MobileScan App to capture student leads. Scanners are no longer available at NACAC fairs. ALL onsite representatives must bring a compatible mobile device with the GTCF App to scan student barcodes. The scanning app will allow access only on the day of the fair. Please have your designated onsite representative download the app and set it up (fair and booth selection) prior to their arrival at the fair.

Understanding Your Lead Data (including Sample Lead Data Report)
The GTCF MobileScan app has many advantages over the handheld scanner. The app allows you to collect student names quicker and easier, take notes on and rate the leads that you capture, and more. Using the mobile app is no additional cost to you, and each booth has unlimited users. No access codes are required.
