It’s no secret that, as Cvent experts, we are all fluent in the “language” we speak. And at times we may put on our interpreter hats to translate your goals, needs, and questions into Cvent terms. That’s what we’re here for after all! But if you’re looking for a way to get the absolute most out of your Cvent interactions, here’s a list of the most commonly confused Cvent terms and their deconstructed explanations courtesy of one of our very own Client Success Consultants, Peter Watt, so you can sound like a PRO too!
(Disclaimer: Listen, this guide is by no means Rosetta Stone – and that’s how we like it! These are simple features and descriptions you’ll pick it up in no time. For additional terms, features, and their functions, take one of our training sessions.)
Registration Types
What are they for?- An attendee’s category as related to your event; the bucket they fall into
- Determine availability of admission items, sessions, and optional items
- Determine different fees for same item (Session A costs $50 for members, $75 for nonmembers)
- Registrants can select it from a dropdown
- Reference the contact record using their contact type
- Assign registration type based on invitation list settings
Admission Items
What are they? A registrant’s “ticket” to the event – one Admission Item per every one Registrant Can you give me an example? I have a weekend conference with a Saturday Pass, Sunday Pass, and a Full Weekend Pass. I can set up each as an admission item and registrants can select which one they want to go to.Sessions
What are those? Events within the main event. There are 2 types:- Included Sessions are added into everyone’s registration, no matter your registration type or admission item. These are usually general sessions or conference check-in.
- Optional Sessions allow a registrant to select and build their agenda. Fees can be associated to these, and a capacity can be added to these types of sessions.
