Hi Cvent Community! This week's Tip of the Week is all about using Cvent OnArrival to make onsite check-in faster, more consistent, and more professional across all your 2026 events.
Before your next in-person event, try these quick wins:
-
Standardize your onsite setup with Settings 2.0
-
Configure check-in flows (admin vs. kiosk, quick scan, access control).
-
Set kiosk behavior (search options, secure search) and team permissions.
-
Save your configuration as a reusable template for future events.
-
Design once, print smart with Badge Designer + PDF printing
-
Build branded badges directly in OnArrival.
-
Use PDF badge sheets to print in bulk or on demand.
-
Reduce pre-printing, sorting, and last-minute reprints while keeping badges on-brand.
-
Make walk-ins part of your strategy (not a fire drill)
-
Turn on embedded Flex registration in OnArrival for onsite registrants.
-
Capture new attendee data, collect payments when needed, and print badges instantly-all in one flow.
-
Use secure, integrated onsite payments
-
Enable onsite payments (including Android kiosk support) to handle fees, upgrades, or donations at the door.
-
Work with IT/finance to align on your preferred, compliant payment setup.
-
Track attendance and access in real time
-
Scan attendees into events/sessions with OnArrival.
-
Use that data for CE credits, engagement reporting, and targeted follow-up after the event.
