NextMe + Cvent: Turn Your Event Queue Into Cvent CRM Data
NextMe runs your on-site conference queues and syncs every check-in to Cvent in real time, so the verified mobile numbers and attendee data you capture at the booth land in your CRM automatically, consented and ready to follow up.

What the NextMe Cvent integration does
NextMe’s Cvent queue management integration connects your on-site queues to your Cvent CRM. As attendees join your NextMe queue, the contact details they enter, including a verified mobile number, flow into Cvent in real time, turning your virtual waitlist into an enriched, contactable CRM list before the event is even over.
Real-time sync to Cvent
The moment an attendee joins the queue, their details post to Cvent as a contact record. No manual export, no post-event cleanup.
What your attendees experience
While the integration works behind the scenes, attendees get the simplest possible experience: join from their phone, go enjoy the event, and come back only when it is their turn.
They hold their spot without standing in it
After joining via self check-in, attendees are free to visit other exhibitors, catch a session, or grab coffee. No physical line to hold, no crowding a booth or session door.
They get a text with a link to their live wait page
NextMe notifies each attendee by SMS or WhatsApp, and the link opens a dedicated virtual waiting room, with no app to download, showing real-time position, estimated wait, and an optional grace-period countdown when it is their turn.
The wait page does more than show a number
Make it your own with images, links, your color theme, and interactive content like video, games, or polls. Idle wait time becomes branded real estate you control.
They return ready to engage
Attendees come back at the right moment, so the time they spend with you is engagement, not waiting. Every minute they are not stuck in your line is a minute they are engaging with your event.
What event teams gain
The integration is not just cleaner data. It changes how your team runs the floor. Move more attendees through with less staff strain, and turn every interaction into measurable value.
Built for how conferences actually run
From a single booth to a multi-track conference, NextMe adapts to the queue points that matter at your event, each one feeding verified attendee data into Cvent as it happens.
Exhibitor and sponsor booth demos
Attendees scan to join a booth’s queue and keep exploring the floor instead of blocking the aisle; staff notify them, individually or in bulk, when the demo is ready. Every join is captured as a lead in Cvent.
Limited-capacity sessions and workshops
A virtual queue manages overflow and waitlists, notifies attendees if seats open, and captures who wanted in, turning unmet demand into a smoother room and planning data for next year.
Sponsor activations, headshot lounges and experiences
In-demand extras run on a virtual queue with a wait page you have fully branded, so it doubles as sponsor inventory: feature a sponsor’s message, video, or offer to a captive, engaged audience.
VIP, speaker and hospitality zones
Manage access to lounges, speaker green rooms, or sponsor hospitality suites with a dedicated queue, controlling capacity and flow without visible gatekeeping.
Simple to start. Supported when you need it.
NextMe is built to be self-serve, most teams are up and running on their own, with hands-on support available when an event calls for it.
Step 1. Set up your event, your way
It’s all self-serve, with no special hardware and no big IT project:
- Queues: create and customize your queues with names, wait-time logic, capacity limits, and data-retention rules.
- Check-in form: tailor the self check-in form with custom fields, your branding, and compliance and opt-in language, and control when and where it is active with scheduling and geofencing.
- Notifications: configure notifications down to the channel (SMS, WhatsApp), message content, and grace period.
- Waiting room: brand your virtual waiting room with your name, content, social links, and theme.
Step 2. Connect Cvent in a few clicks
Link your Cvent account via secure OAuth, then map your NextMe fields to your Cvent fields once. From there, choose how the data flows: attach it to a specific Cvent event and admission ticket, or enrich your Cvent contacts generally. Attendee data then syncs automatically as guests check in, no manual export, ever.
Step 3. Go live
Print your QR codes, place them, and start your queue. You are live the same day.
No hardware, no lead time, no weeks-long implementation, just a queue you can stand up yourself, with expert help available when you want it.
How the Chuck Fazio Headshot Experience cleared a 2-hour line at Cvent CONNECT 2025
One of the busiest booths on the Cvent CONNECT 2025 expo floor replaced its physical queue with NextMe. Attendees scanned to join, tracked their place from their phone, and explored the show until their turn.
The result: 25% more attendees completed the experience than at previous activations, staff focused on delivering headshots instead of managing a crowd, and the branded waiting room turned wait time into sponsor value. Sponsor AMEX’s content earned a 15.9% click-through rate, with attendees engaging for an average of 90 seconds.

What data syncs, and in which direction?
Data flows one way: from NextMe into Cvent. When an attendee joins or checks in, their contact details and queue activity post to Cvent automatically, with no manual export. Registration stays in Cvent; NextMe handles the on-site queue and pushes the resulting attendee and lead data into your CRM.
Are the mobile numbers captured valid and compliant for SMS and WhatsApp?
Yes. Every mobile number is validated at check-in before it is stored, and invalid numbers are rejected on the spot, so the data reaching Cvent is clean and deliverable. NextMe also captures customizable consent for messaging each number by SMS and WhatsApp, so the contacts in your CRM are consented and compliant.
How do attendees join, and do they need an app?
Attendees scan a QR code to join the queue in seconds, with no app to download and no account to create. They get a text with a link to a dedicated web page showing their live position, estimated wait, and a grace-period countdown when it is their turn.
Can I notify multiple attendees at once?
Yes. NextMe lets you select up to 100 waiting attendees and notify them in a single action by SMS or WhatsApp, so your team clears a surge in seconds instead of tapping through names one at a time. This is unique to NextMe among event queue tools.
Can we brand and customize the attendee wait page?
Yes. The virtual waiting room is fully customizable. Add your name, images, links, and social channels, apply your color theme, and embed interactive content like video, games, or polls. Many organizers use it as sponsor inventory, turning wait time into branded, measurable engagement.
Can NextMe handle large, multi-track conferences?
Yes. NextMe supports unlimited queues, one per booth, session, activation, or zone, all managed from a single dashboard. It has powered high-volume events where tens of thousands of attendees join waitlists when doors or exhibits open. Run one queue or dozens.
What data and reporting do I get after the event?
After every event, NextMe delivers an Event Insights Report breaking down each queue: guests joined (captured as leads), serviced, and retained, plus engagement metrics for your branded waiting room. You leave with the numbers to prove ROI and plan the next event.
How do I set it up?
NextMe is self-serve. Create and customize your queues, check-in form, notifications, and waiting room yourself, connect Cvent via OAuth, and go live the same day with no hardware. For events with specific needs, done-for-you setup and on-site support are available as optional add-ons.
