It's the best software I've used. It allowed me to collaborate on a huge event with multiple stakeholders to ensure the main planner understood the venue and capacity issues. It's also allowed me to realize the scope of venue needs and abilities. Very helpful in visualizing a space

  • User-friendly. It's easy for us to train other team members/staff/volunteers to use the front-end system for registration and event check-in.
  • Social Tables is great for creating custom room layouts and diagrams.
  • Social tables is customizable. We're able to capture specific information for attendees, and can "tag" them when additional info is needed.

  • A development that would be useful would be the ability to reorder the diagrams to a custom order in one event so that when exported as one document, they are in an order that can be customized to flow well for the meeting planner.

The support was exceptional, and they remained an arm's reach away for when we ran into any questions after we began using the tool. Overall, we experienced phenomenal customer service. We also had more than one web-based call where their team would walk us through examples and answer any questions we had.

It has similar tools that MeetingMatrix has, but the Collaboration, or allowing vendors access is the feature that I appreciate the most that Cvent Event Diagraming offers that MeetingMatrix did not have. It is also easier to save as a PDF to print and email a version to vendors as well

Guests can be allowed to schedule sessions, exchange activities, provide transfer details, sign digital waivers, and check in online, all without messaging back and forth with internal teams.Screenshot of The Booking Widget is an Advanced Feature used to display fixed-date trips directly on a website. From there, guests can view what trips still have availability, or they can join a waiting list for dates that are already full.Screenshot of The Backoffice is used to view and manage bookings. With up to 10 different User Roles, team members have access to select parts of the Backoffice. This way, everyone from coaches to cleaning staff has access to the information they need to work efficiently, but not other sensitive booking details.Screenshot of the Inquiry Form, which is an Advanced Feature that can help collect and organize bespoke requests that require more of a conversation before confirmation. Inquiries will come directly into the Backoffice, where they can later be changed to a confirmed booking.
