Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about Onsite Support.

Our badging kiosks are tried, tested, and proven to speed up event check in for attendees arriving onsite.

By carefully considering attendee numbers, expected arrival patterns, and registration flow, CrowdComms ensures the setup is fully optimised to deliver a fast event check in experience.

This planning and kiosk configuration also helps reduce queues event teams often experience during peak arrival times, creating a smoother and more efficient attendee experience.

Having an onsite badge printing backup plan is an important part of delivering a reliable and stress-free registration experience.

As a first layer of resilience, CrowdComms kiosks continue to work offline once fully configured, helping reduce reliance on venue internet connectivity during the event.

We also recommend allowing for at least one additional kiosk beyond your minimum requirements. This provides extra capacity in case of temporary issues such as a badge printer failure event scenario or a short paper jam interruption.

Finally, badges can also be printed directly from the CrowdComms software using the printers enclosed within the kiosks as part of the wider printing contingency approach - although thankfully, we have never needed to rely on this fully.

Event app Q&A polling features make sessions far more interactive by allowing attendees to ask questions live during sessions and vote up questions submitted by other attendees.

Attendees can also take part in live polls event app experiences directly from their phone, making it easy for everyone to participate without interrupting the session flow.

For organisers, the process is simple to manage. Questions can be moderated through external links, polls can be created and launched through the CMS, and results can be shared instantly through customisable displays, creating a highly engaging audience Q&A app experience.

Yes. Most modern platforms support conference app live updates, allowing organisers to communicate important information to attendees in real time.

You can instantly send schedule change alerts for agenda updates, room changes, speaker substitutions, or important announcements. Any updates made to the structure or content of the app are also reflected immediately for attendees.

With real-time notifications and conference app announcements, everyone stays informed and up to date, even when plans change at the last minute.

A strong event management platform support SLA gives organisers confidence that they will receive reliable assistance before, during, and after their event.

Typical service commitments include:

  • Guaranteed platform uptime, often between 99.5% and 99.9%
  • Defined response and resolution times based on issue severity
  • Access to support via live chat, email, and phone
  • Onboarding, training, and customer success support

A well-defined EMP SLA sets clear expectations around service levels, support processes, and platform performance.

For critical events, event platform 24/7 support can provide additional reassurance, ensuring help is available whenever it is needed.

Ultimately, a strong event management platform support SLA helps minimise risk and ensures there is a clear process for resolving issues quickly and effectively.

Yes. End to end event tech onsite support is often available as part of the overall service, particularly for in-person and hybrid events.

This can include:

  • Dedicated event tech onsite staff to support check-in, badging, event apps, and engagement tools
  • Live troubleshooting and support desks for attendees, speakers, and organisers
  • Hands-on assistance throughout the event to help ensure everything runs smoothly

Many providers also offer onsite support event tech services tailored to the specific needs of your event, ranging from technical assistance through to full event technology management.

Having onsite support provides peace of mind and helps ensure any issues are resolved quickly on the day.
