Cvent OnArrival overview

What is Cvent OnArrival?

OnArrival is a contactless event check-in solution that helps event planners manage onsite attendees on a centralized interface. The software allows users to check in via desktop, phone, and tablet. Attendees can be searched by name, email, company, or confirmation number. OnArrival enables event planners to process registration setups, manage walk-in attendees, and collect online payments. Additionally, the solution also allows event planners to make real-time edits to attendee details, print badges wirelessly, and monitor session capacity limits in real-time.
