CVENT Onsite Solutions - excellent for events over 400!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I utilize CVENT onsite solutions for clients that already use CVENT as their registration platform AND have over 400 attendees onsite. We can handle onsite registration up to a certain point, but anything over 400 gets sticky if we don't have a way to print badges onsite. I currently utilize CVENT Onsite Solutions about twice a year.
Pros
- Printing capabilities - color options, advance printing, QR codes.
- Onsite technical assistance.
- Integrations with CVENT registration software.
Cons
- I have had issues with them sending the correct printers in the past, but it doesn't happen often. And when they do, they ship overnight to correct the issue.
- It's an expensive option - they tend to Nickel and Dime.
- The app/gamification features are still not perfect. I've had several issues with games on the day of.
Return on Investment
- Indeed, just knowing the app and CVENT has helped our ROI. We now have two fully trained staff members in CVENT (CVENT certified), which helps sell our business. Planners want someone who is full-service, and we can now offer that.
- The onsite registration system makes our registration process go very smoothly, which, in turn, gives the attendees a positive experience.
