FAQs
Event check-in software replaces paper lists and spreadsheets with a digital system that verifies attendees, manages arrivals, and tracks attendance in real time.
With Cvent OnArrival, attendees can be checked in instantly using QR codes, names, or barcodes while automatically capturing accurate attendance data. This eliminates manual errors, reduces wait times, and removes the need for disconnected tools.
The result is a faster, more professional arrival experience and a reliable data foundation for reporting, engagement tracking, and post-event analysis.
Cvent OnArrival streamlines check-in by combining attendee lookup, verification, and badge printing into a single, fast workflow.
Attendees can use self-service kiosks or staffed check-in stations to print badges instantly upon arrival. The system is optimized for high-volume environments and continues to function even with limited connectivity.
This reduces bottlenecks at entry, shortens wait times, and ensures attendees are welcomed with a smooth, branded first impression.
Yes, Cvent OnArrival supports on-demand badge printing at the moment of check-in.
Badges are generated dynamically from registration data, enabling real-time personalization, last-minute updates, and easy reprints if needed. This eliminates the need to pre-print, sort, or manually reissue badges.
On-demand printing improves operational efficiency, reduces waste, and ensures every attendee receives accurate, up-to-date credentials.
Cvent OnArrival allows event teams to register and check in walk-in attendees directly on-site.
Staff can quickly add new attendees, update existing records, and print badges immediately without disrupting the check-in flow. Any changes made onsite automatically sync with the broader event system.
This flexibility ensures teams can adapt in real time while maintaining accurate data and a consistent attendee experience.
Yes, Cvent OnArrival provides real-time session attendance tracking and access control.
With badge scanning and optional RFID or NFC, organizers can monitor who attends each session, enforce access permissions, and track room capacity as it fills.
This enables better on-site decision-making, prevents overcrowding, and provides detailed engagement data for post-event reporting and analysis.
Cvent OnArrival is designed to scale across a wide range of event types, from small meetings and roadshows to large, multi-day conferences.
For smaller or repeatable events, teams can use self-service deployment options, such as portable check-in kits. For larger or more complex programs, full-service onsite support is available.
Regardless of setup, all events run on the same platform, ensuring consistent workflows, branding, and data capture across your entire event program.
Cvent OnArrival supports both self-service and full-service approaches to onsite event management, giving teams flexibility based on event size, complexity, and available resources.
Self-service options, such as portable check-in kits, are designed for smaller or recurring events, enabling teams to manage check-in, badge printing, and attendee flow independently with minimal setup.
Full-service options include onsite staffing, advanced configuration, and hands-on support for larger or more complex events, helping ensure smooth execution across check-in, badging, and attendance tracking.
Both approaches run on the same Cvent OnArrival platform, so workflows, branding, and attendee data remain consistent across every event—regardless of deployment.

This data feeds into reporting dashboards and can be shared with CRM and marketing automation systems via integrations, enabling faster follow-up and more accurate attribution.
By connecting onsite activity to downstream systems, teams can track engagement, measure event impact, and improve targeting for future campaigns.
Yes, Cvent OnArrival supports secure onsite payment collection for registrations, upgrades, and add-on purchases.

This enables teams to capture additional revenue onsite while maintaining a seamless attendee experience.
Cvent OnArrival captures detailed data on attendee arrivals, session participation, and onsite engagement.
