Cvent OnArrival kiosk mode
Managing attendee registration and check-in doesn’t have to be stressful and time-consuming. By using a few helpful tech tools, long lines and disgruntled guests will become a thing of the past. Below are five great mobile apps and event management software platforms that will help to start your event off right.
Cvent OnArrival
Cvent boasts that OnArrival allows planners to manage attendees in ways typically seen only at major trade shows and conferences, and at a fraction of the cost. This onsite check-in app aims to make the check-in process as quick and simple as possible. The app even uses Bluetooth to enable check-in by scanning a barcode.
Planners can also take advantage of OnArrival’s self-serve kiosk mode, which allows attendees to register, check in, pay, and even create and print their own name badges. It’s simple to set up—all you need to do is pair an iPad running the mobile app with a compatible printer.
OnArrival is included at no extra cost in Cvent’s Event Management service. For an additional fee, Cvent offers OnArrival premium, which is designed to fit the needs of planners holding larger events.

The check-in app offers features such as an offline mode that provides access to your attendee list even if your internet connection is spotty.

The mobile check-in feature is integrated into Social Tables and it can be used on an unlimited number of devices. The fully customizable check-in feature is so intuitive that you won’t need to train onsite staff to use it. Attendee information can be accessed in real time, and sensitive information is stored securely in the cloud.
Boomset
Boomset is a mobile event app that comes with several powerful features for easy check-in, real-time reporting, lead retrieval and networking at events. Boomset’s innovative features allow attendees to register, check in and change their existing event schedules—all on their own.
