Cuttly for Events & Conferences A Guide to Modern Link Management for Event Organisers
Events and conferences require fast, clear and highly accessible communication. Whether managing attendee registrations, exhibitor onboarding, speaker materials, schedules, venue navigation, surveys or sponsor promotions — every touchpoint relies on links. Event experiences are increasingly digital-first and hybrid, blending in-person participation with cross-channel interactions. Cuttly provides event organisers with a unified system for short links, QR Codes, branded URLs, analytics, Link-in-bio pages, surveys, automation and API workflows. For a complete overview of the platform, visit Cuttly Platform Overview or the main page Cutt.ly.
Why Events & Conferences Need Link Management
Events generate dozens or hundreds of critical URLs, including:
- ticketing and registration links,
- event schedules,
- speaker profiles and decks,
- venue maps,
- session-specific resources,
- exhibitor onboarding portals,
- workshop materials,
- Wi-Fi access instructions,
- sponsor offerings,
- feedback and post-event surveys.
Without structured link management, event experiences become fragmented — confusing for attendees and difficult for organisers to track.
Short Links for Event Communication
Event URLs are often long, especially when generated by ticketing systems, CRM tools or conference platforms. Cuttly short links make communication:
- cleaner for signage and printed materials,
- easier to share verbally or during sessions,
- ideal for digital programs or newsletters,
- mobile-friendly for on-site scanning,
- consistent across teams and partners.
QR Codes for On-Site & Hybrid Experiences
QR Codes are essential tools for event organisers. Use cases include:
- check-in and badge pickup,
- agenda access and live updates,
- session resources,
- exhibitor profiles,
- sponsor promotions,
- floor plans and venue maps,
- on-site lead capture,
- event guidelines and safety information.
Cuttly automatically generates QR Codes for all short links, making it ideal for posters, displays, badges or digital kiosks.
QR capabilities described in the QR Code Guide.
Link-in-Bio Pages for Event Hubs
Large events and conferences often need a single place where all essential information lives. Cuttly Link-in-bio pages work perfectly as:
- multi-day event hubs,
- speaker resource collections,
- exhibitor information portals,
- sponsorship overview pages,
- workshop material hubs,
- QR-powered “Welcome” or “Start Here” pages.
These pages can run on cutt.bio, cutt.ly or custom domains. Explore the Link-in-Bio Tool.
Campaign Tags for Sessions, Tracks & Sponsors
Tags (Campaigns) help organisers classify and analyse links by:
- event tracks,
- session types,
- speaker categories,
- sponsorship tiers,
- exhibitor clusters,
- registration phases,
- location or venue zones.
Aggregated analytics show which content performed best across channels.

Analytics for Attendee Engagement
Analytics give organisers important insights, such as:
- when attendees accessed schedules,
- which sessions attracted the most interest,
- device types across attendees,
- time-of-day peaks,
- geographic interests for hybrid events,
- link performance across marketing channels.
These metrics help improve future event planning, content strategy and communication.
