Conferences i/o, or CNF for short, is a web-based audience engagement tool used for polling, attendance tracking, program evaluation, and more. You may now integrate multiple CNF sessions to your Group-Live, Group-Internet / Webinar, or Hybrid events in Prolaera, and sync/view the results when the event has concluded.
Simply put, this tool will allow you to sync sign-in/out times and poll data from your in-person, virtual, or hybrid CNF sessions right to the "Certificates" page of your Prolaera event! |

Add the Integration
1. From the left side panel, go to Admin > Event Manager and search for your event. Click the Manage dropdown > Manage to edit your event. Next, navigate to the Integrations option and click Add Integration.
2. Select the Conferences.io integration button to show all available sessions. Search or simply click Add to integrate the session into your event. You may add as many sessions to your event as you like.
Please note: CNF sessions will only be listed if they have been created in your account. If you have not yet created these in your Conferences i/o account, here is a quick step-by-step guide to creating your sessions.
3. When added, the sessions will appear below. The sessions colored green indicate that the duration and attendees' data have been pulled in. If gray, attendees haven't been added to the session yet.
You may add attendees in advance using either CNF or Prolaera, or have the system pull in attendee data during post-session sync. Prior to your program, please review these articles on instructing participants on how to use the Conferences i/o tool during the event:
- Download and use a QR code or live content slides in your presentation
- Use your company's dedicated URL
Add attendees in Conferences I/O
You may add session attendees ahead of time in the admin area of your Conferences i/o app. Having this list pre-loaded in Session Kiosk will allow you to quickly check-in attendees upon arrival. Refer to this support article on how to Upload Attendees in Kiosk Mode
You can use any spreadsheet with attendee information and then map that attendee data into Conferences i/o. The attendee data will pull into Prolaera during the session. Please note: Be sure the box for Attendance Tracking is checked in the session editor.
Add attendees in Prolaera
Another option to add attendees is from within your Prolaera account, by either sending event invitations or registering your participants. Please visit the links below to learn more.
