1. にたって・にたり is used mainly in formal / written Japanese.
2. にたり is more formal than にたって.
3. Since it is used mainly in written Japanese, when a verb precedes it, it is often a Sino-Japanese する verb (like する and する in the example sentences) because these are suitable for written Japanese.
4. The tense of the verb preceding the compound particle is always non-past, regardless of the tense of the final predicate; so it can be translated as "before" or "prior to".

Khi/Lúc/Nhân dịp
『にあたり/にあたって』diễn tả một thời điểm đặc biệt, có tính bước ngoặt trong tiến trình của sự việc. Là cách nói trang trọng, thường dùng trong các bài diễn văn hoặc thư cảm ơn.『にあたり(まして)』trang trọng hơn『にあたって』.

Gần như đồng nghĩa với『にして』song nhấn mạnh sắc thái "chuẩn bị hoặc lưu ý việc gì đó" cho dịp đang được đề cập.

From [bunpro.jp]

There are two primary nuances that this structure will be used for:

The first is when (A) is some sort of special occasion or condition from which (B) will be done.
E.g. めるにたり、しいスーツをった。
On the occasion of starting my job search, I bought a new suit.

The second is when (A) is some sort of goal or target for which (B) will be the means or measures in response to that goal.
E.g. をするにたり、インターネットでったすことにした。
At the time of changing jobs, I looked for a company that would suit me well on the internet.

Compared to に際して
Both mark the timing of an event. にあたり・にあたって emphasizes necessary preparations or intentions beforehand, as in にあたり調った (Before development, we conducted research). にして marks the occasion itself, especially significant or ceremonial ones, as in してべる (Give a congratulatory speech on the occasion of enrollment).

Unlike にして, which can be used for either positive or negative situations, にたり will primarily only be used for positive or neutral situations.

Pretty much similar to に際して , however there are a few nuances: - にあたって is not that of a fit for sentences with negative intents
- にあたって has a more strong feeling regarding necessity of attention due to the fact that the important action will follow it (i.e. before A, pay attention to B, because A is an important action)

That's actually an unrelated grammar point (which doesn't seem to be in the dictionary here yet... but I see it a lot!) - plain form past tense + って, which means the same thing as ~ても. So ことがあったって = ことがあっても.
