Search For Available Presenters 

Arlo's presenter search allows you to easily check which presenters are available to present at your next event. With the presenter search you can:

• Check availability of your presenters for an event.
• Check travel distance between events - You can check details of previous and next event/sessions to confirm the presenter has sufficient travel time to make the event. 
• Show presenters within a specific location (city).
• Show presenters with certain classifications, e.g. skill sets by filtering by presenter tags.
• Sort and filter presenters by rating, subject and qualification. Note: This requires Arlo Support to add custom fields for Rating, Subject and Qualification.

Custom fields are only available on Professional and Enterprise plans. 

Whats Happening At Arlo?

Academic Training Organisation Of The Month

Victoria University

Every day we are working with organisations delivering professional learning and continuing education. Victoria University has been using Arlo for over three years to manage their short course programmes. 

The professional and executive development team coordinates the response to business and professional learning needs as part of the University's Centre for Lifelong Learning. Their team is experienced in designing programmes and courses for business and organisations, both within New Zealand and globally, to help maximise performance capability.

The continuing education team coordinates a broad programme of lifelong continuing education opportunities that draw on Victoria's research and degree based teaching. These courses reflect the University's strengths and topics of high public interest and respond to community learning needs. The team is also part of the University's Centre for Lifelong Learning.

Victoria University make use of Arlo's Moodle integration to provide online components that enhance its face-to-face programme. They have also taken advantage of Arlo's Campaign Monitor integration and website integration to promote their short courses. Students can register and pay for courses on the University's website.

Community Questions And Answers

Each month, we will be responding to some of your most frequently asked questions. To view the full list please visit our Community Questions and Answers section. 

Where can I find more information about the 'New event' wizard?

You can watch our ‘New event’ wizard overview video and we have also embedded help tips into the ‘New event’ wizard to ensure that administrators have all the information they need when setting up and creating an event.

Where can I add room setup and catering information for each session during my conference?

When you are creating a multi-session event, you can add catering information as well as room setup details specific to a particular session. Just add the ‘room setup instructions‘ to the ‘Logistics’ section of the sessions you are adding.

Why do I have a number of events in my checkout when I only wanted to register for one? 

When you are browsing events, and you select ‘register,’ the event will be added to your checkout. If you back out of that particular registration process, or just forget to complete it, the event will still remain in your checkout. If you go to register on a different event, you may find that you will now have more than one event in your cart. To avoid this from happening, select ‘cancel’ when you decide not to go through with a registration, or you can simply ‘remove’ the items that you don’t want from the checkout.

Can I set the order for how optional extras appear on a registration form?

You can arrange the order of the options available on your registration form by price, or have them in alphabetical order (both either ascending or descending). To request changes to the way your options are displayed on your events contact Arlo Support. 

How do I change a registrant sessions multi-session event?

You can change a registrants’ sessions on a multi-session event as long as the session is free. To learn how to do this follow these instructions. This workflow will only work for free sessions, as changing these sessions will not have any affect on orders generated.
