Webex Events, formerly Socio, provides an all-inclusive hardware, software, and support solution for your in-person and hybrid event and session check-in needs. With Onsite by Webex Events (Socio), you have everything you need to manage your attendees' in-person event check-in, badge printing, and session check-in experience. Launch seamless event check-in Build your end-to-end event check-in experience with ease based on your event’s unique needs. Staff your check-in area for a managed experience, set up Onsite as an on-demand kiosk so attendees can self-serve, or use a combination of both. No matter which option you choose, attendees can check in and be on their way in seconds. Control and track session attendance with ease Onsite's Session Check-in mode lets you easily check attendees into and out of sessions, limit the number of attendees, and control who can access the session. Comprehensive metrics provide the data you need to award continuing education credits, track session attendance, and understand attendee behavior and interests so you can plan even better for future sessions and events. Integrate attendee registration data When you use Webex Events Registration, there's no need to sync or import data into Onsite - it's already there. If you want to use a third-party registration platform, no problem! It's easy to upload a list of attendees directly into the Webex Events platform. Save time and go contactless with Fast Track We make it easy to prioritize safety at in-person and hybrid events with the option to make your check-in process completely contactless. Say goodbye to long check-in lines by activating the Fast Track feature. Attendees simply scan their QR code, and Fast Track takes them directly to the confirmation page and then off to pick up their printed badge! Brand and customize your way Incorporate your organization’s colors, logos, and verbiage into every aspect of the check-in experience to make Onsite an extension of your brand. Use our simple drag-and-drop badge designer to create beautifully branded badges with attendee information, sponsor logos, Lead Retrieval QR codes, and much, much more. Create badges unique to each ticket Assign all attendees the same badge, or customize their badge based on which ticket they purchased and custom question answers. With easy-to-use conditional rules (no coding necessary!), you can customize sponsor, exhibitor, or VIP badges with unique badge designs and icons, making it easy to gate access to specific areas of your event space. Get the hardware without the hassle Press the "easy" button for your check-in hardware needs with a Webex Events rental kit. Simply let us know how many attendees will be at your event, and we’ll provide you with everything you need for your event check-in kiosk and printing station, including iPads, iPad stands, printers, routers, and printing supplies. If you’d rather use your own hardware with our Onsite Check-in and Badge Printing technology, no problem! Rely on Professional Services and Support With Webex Events, you’re always in control, but you’re never alone. Managing the entire check-in process is straightforward, though if you’re interested in additional help, we’re here for you every step of the way. During your event, you can choose to leave all of your onsite check-in and badge printing coordination to our Professional Services team. Need help customizing your check-in app, designing badges, creating custom rules, or ordering hardware and venue internet? We have you covered.
