Frequently asked questions

What is the best event management software for conferences?

Event Flo is a free event management platform built for in-person conferences. It includes QR code check-in, ID-verified attendance tracking, real-time dashboards, and instant PDF reports. Unlike Cvent, there are no per-attendee fees or enterprise contracts required.

Is Event Flo a free alternative to Cvent?

Yes. Event Flo offers conference check-in, registration, and attendance reporting at zero cost. Cvent requires enterprise contracts starting at $10,000+/year. Event Flo charges $0 — no platform fees, no per-attendee charges, no hidden costs.

Can I use Event Flo for corporate events?

Yes. Event Flo supports business conferences and corporate training events with ID-verified attendance, real-time dashboards, branded check-in screens, and audit-ready PDF reports.

Does Event Flo support large conferences?

Yes. Set capacity limits, manage registrations at scale, use QR check-in for fast entry, and download attendance reports instantly. Organization branding is included at no extra cost.

Do attendees need to download an app?

No. Attendees receive a QR code via email. Your check-in staff uses the Event Flo bouncer portal on any device with a camera. No app downloads for organizers or attendees.

Can I track attendance across multiple sessions?

Yes. Add multiple sessions (tracks, rooms, time slots) to a single event. Each session has its own check-in and attendance data.

What format are the attendance reports?

CSV for spreadsheets and HR systems, or PDF for branded, audit-ready reports with your organization's logo.

Can I make my event private?

Yes. Business events are private by default — they won't appear on the public discover feed. Share the event link directly with your attendees.

How does Event Flo compare to Eventbrite for conferences?

Eventbrite charges service fees on every ticket sold and does not include ID verification. Event Flo charges zero platform fees, includes government ID verification for every attendee, and provides QR check-in and attendance reports at no cost.

Can I export attendance data?

Yes. Export attendance data as CSV for your CRM, HR system, or spreadsheets. Download branded PDF reports for audit and compliance purposes.

Is there custom branding for business events?

Yes. Add your organization logo to event pages, check-in screens, and attendance reports. Your event, your brand.

How does ID-verified attendance help businesses?

Government ID verification ensures every attendee is who they claim to be. This is critical for compliance training, safety certifications, and any event requiring auditable attendance records.

Can auditors verify attendance certificates?

Yes. Every certificate includes a unique verification URL. Auditors can visit the URL to confirm the certificate is authentic and see the attendee's verified name, event details, and check-in timestamp.
