A Program Worthy of Its Name

June 24, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Cvent Event Management from everything to meeting registration to sourcing to registration and website creation. It streamlines our process and it's truly a turnkey platform. It keeps the entire events team on the same page and allows for seamless transition between tasks.

The program allows for us to answer the question - how many meetings does the company hold each year to how much do these meetings cost the company. The tool is a big help in standardization of process and templates. The on arrival program keeps us on track while on site, tracking attendees and even helping with on-site registration when needed.

I highly recommend the Cvent Evet Management tool to everyone - even for smaller companies who are just starting the strategic meetings management programs.

Pros

Reporting
Event Diagramming
Onsite Check-in

Cons

Registration
Hotel Accommodations

Likelihood to Recommend

I highly recommend it if you plan to have on-site registration. Another area is if you plan to have several types of attendees as you are able to break them down into different tracks. Managing sponsors and exhibitors as well as the payments associated.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am the sole person in charge of planning and implement all internal events, trainings, annual summits, quarterly meetings, and more. I'm using the platform to streamline my process and get back more time to focus more on the overall content and attendee experience and less on the small details that could be automated.

Pros

Building the registration process out for attendees
Tracking registrations
Building an event website

Cons

The navigation between sections of the platform are not as intuitive as I would like and it's taken me some time to figure out where to find everything because things feel buried
Enhancing the badge template creation to make it easier to build and brand
More website template options and widgets

Likelihood to Recommend

So far it feels really well suited for smaller teams who have fewer people supporting event creation and implementation. I like that I can add other team members into the platform as well so we can have multiple sets of eyes on any given event. This would be even better for larger teams too!

May 14, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Cvent Event Management allows us to capture event attendance and possible sales leads through its integration with Salesforce. It also allows the event management team to arrange logistics in an orderly way by collecting attendee information in a centralized location. Additionally, the reporting feature and its available customization creates a clear way to report on event statistics and data.

Pros

Organize attendee data
Report on event statistics and data
Provide Salesforce integration for sales leads

Cons

Event transparency among non-Cvent account holders but event stakeholders
More intuitive document library preferably at the user level; not account level
More intuitive language around the program features

Likelihood to Recommend

Whether we are planning an external-facing or internal event, the Cvent Event Management software serves as a one-stop for event needs - both for planners and attendees. The customization of the website and email communication makes it simple to copy events for future needs with minor updates needed. It is a time saver in that capacity.

Cvent Event Management - Good for big programs with $

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

January 7, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Cvent Event Management for about 50% of our current clients. The usage varies based on the event type - but we've utilized the below in the past:

- Registration

- Attendee Hub

- On Arrival

- Speakers

- Agenda

- Exhibitor Portal

- Surveys

- Website

Pros

I love Cvent Event Management's registration platform specifically because of the flexibility. There are no limits to what Cvent Event Management can do - if you want custom logic, questions or buttons, it's all possible!
The Exhibitor Portal is an exceptional option for event sponsors. Exhibitors have so much power to manage their profile in the back end, and it's very easy to navigate.
The Agenda section is a favorite of mine, as the customization options are endless. You can have people select their sessions and view speaker profiles + the planner has endless options for making the agenda thorough.

Cons

Emails - you can't pre-schedule emails, and it's very complicated to target a specific group.
Testing - You have to clear your cache in between testing, or go incognito mode. Makes for a very lengthy testing process. Wish you could just see live updates as you went!
Gameifcation in the App - I have not had the best luck with this section of the app. It doesn't ALWAYS work. They have some improvements to be made on that front.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have a big event (over 300 people) that requires an app, has a substantial agenda and/or lots of sponsors - then Cvent Event Management is for you. I would never recommend it to a client that didn't have a ton of cash, as it's an expensive asset.

If you have a complicated event in any way shape or form, it is a LIFE saver.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use CVENT event management in our organization for all our live events. It allows one registration site to collect information and payments and keep them organized.

Pros

Event Registration.
Payments.
Waitlist Management.

Cons

Lottery Feature.
Widgets
Email Creations.

Likelihood to Recommend

Overall, CVENT is the best program of its kind. Its robust RFP system allows us to select venue locations and communicate with multiple properties simultaneously. It also allows us to have a smooth registration site to manage capacity, payments, and our waitlist. Some areas of improvement are the possibility of a lottery feature being added to the CVENT system and the potential to RFP for an event that happens monthly instead of submitting a new proposal for each event.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work for a large travel agency, but if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find our business has so many layers. This makes us one of the nation’s largest leisure travel companies, and a top-ranked travel agency franchise according to [...]. We use Cvent Event Management to host all of our events such as Regionals and National Conferences. We use it to store attendee information, send emails, manage registration, store supplier information, and even build out an app for our events.

Pros

Attendee Registration
Provide Historical Data
Customize each event

Cons

Email us what items are missing from our events
We had an issue with workshops not showing as signed up for via our app for attendees. Although they did register to attend.
Send reminders to attendees of what is pending on their end to be completed

Likelihood to Recommend

Cvent Event Management is the best product around to manage our events and we have a great relationship with them.
