Cvent Integration
NextMe + Cvent: turn your event queue into Cvent data
NextMe runs your on-site queues and syncs every check-in to Cvent in real time, so the attendee details and validated mobile numbers you capture at the booth land in Cvent automatically, consented and ready for follow-up. No hardware, and you can go live the same day.
NextMe is on the Cvent App Marketplace

What the NextMe + Cvent integration does
As attendees join your NextMe queue, the details they enter flow into Cvent in real time. Your waitlist becomes a contactable list in Cvent before the event is over, with nothing to export and nothing to clean up afterwards.
Real-time sync to Cvent
The moment an attendee joins the queue, their details post to Cvent. No manual export, no post-event spreadsheet.
Validated mobile numbers
Every attendee enters a mobile number to join, and it’s checked before it’s stored. An invalid number gets fixed on the spot, so the numbers in Cvent are real and deliverable.
You choose where the data goes
Map your NextMe fields to your Cvent fields once. Then attach the data to a specific Cvent event and admission ticket, or enrich your Cvent contacts generally.
Consent captured at check-in
Your check-in form collects the attendee’s consent to be messaged by SMS and WhatsApp, in wording you control, so the contacts you add to Cvent are ones you can follow up with.
First-party data
Attendees enter their own details at the moment they engage with you, so everything reaching Cvent is first-party data, not scraped or inferred.
One direction, by design
Registration stays in Cvent. NextMe runs the on-site queue and sends what it captures to Cvent, so there’s one record of each attendee.
What your attendees experience
-
They hold their spot without standing in it. Attendees visit other exhibitors, catch a session or grab a coffee instead of crowding your booth or the session door.
-
They follow a live wait page. A text links to a web page, with no app, that shows their position and estimated wait, plus an optional countdown when it’s their turn. Attendees can choose WhatsApp instead of SMS.
-
The wait page is yours. Add your branding, images, links, social channels and video, games or polls, and use the wait to promote a sponsor or a session.
-
They come back ready to engage. The time they spend with you is engagement, not waiting.
What your event team gets
-
Notify attendees in bulk. Select up to 100 waiting attendees and notify them in one action when a session lets out or a demo frees up.
-
Easy for staff you met that morning. A simple dashboard on any phone, tablet or computer means volunteers and booth staff can run a busy queue without training or headsets.
-
One view of every queue. Run unlimited queues, one per booth, session or zone, from a single dashboard that updates as attendees join and are served.
-
Proof of results. Analytics show visits, wait times and no-shows for the event and for each queue, and an Event Insights Report sums up the run for your stakeholders and sponsors.
Built for how conferences run
From a single booth to a multi-track conference, each queue feeds 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. Every join is captured in Cvent, so exhibitors leave with a list they can follow up with.
Limited-capacity sessions and workshops
When demand outstrips seats, a virtual queue handles the overflow, notifies attendees when seats open, and records who wanted in for next year’s planning.
Sponsor activations and headshot lounges
Popular extras run on a virtual queue, so attendees see the rest of the event while they wait, on a wait page that can carry a sponsor’s message, video or offer.
VIP, speaker and hospitality zones
Manage access to lounges, green rooms or hospitality suites with a dedicated queue, controlling capacity without visible gatekeeping.
