A PARTNERSHIP between one of the world’s leading associations for conference organisers and event-tech provider Cvent has been renewed in time for a major convention in Singapore with the supplier readying its OnArrival 360 solution.
Cvent has been named as the official onsite registration and event app partner for the PCMA’s Convening APAC 2026, SIGNAL: Mastering Change due to be held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, April 12-14.
The flagship regional conference was formerly known as The Business of Events
The renewal will mark the second consecutive year that PCMA has been selected Cvent the event, which is expected to welcome over 350 business event professionals from across the Asia Pacific and other key global markets.
“Entering our renewed commitment with Cvent allows us to build on a proven foundation of success,” Florence Chua, PCMA’s managing director, for Asia Pacific.
This deepened mutual understanding significantly reduces implementation lead time while ensuring a seamless, ‘stress-free’ journey for our participants. By streamlining our operations through this trusted partnership, we can focus on delivering the PCMA experience that the community expects.”

Cvent said it would deploy its OnArrival 360 check-in and badging solution alongside the Cvent Attendee Hub mobile app to streamline onsite registration and speed up badge printing.
At The Business of Events 2025, Cvent said the combined solution helped PCMA cut manual efforts by an estimated 30 to 40 per cent, achieving a 93 per cent check-in rate and drive strong app adoption with 161 downloads.
Digitised, QR code-based check‑in and on‑demand badge printing effectively eliminated registration queues and manual errors, while real‑time badge scanning and in‑app analytics provided richer insight into delegate behaviour and programme performance and helped sponsors better measure ROI from visibility and engagement across the event
