A helpful and resourceful tool.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We used Aventri to create a registration website for a conference which doubled as a mobile app so members could get the most important information they needed to know without having to ask our staff questions. We wanted a clean and simple website with four pages, and we were able to update it with important information (especially COVID-related updates). Previously we used a completely different company to create an app for the event but decided to try Aventri for almost every aspect the past year.
Pros
- Creates a clean and professional registration page
- Easy for the client to use
- Help was readily available
Cons
- Registration on the backend was confusing
- Sometimes the code would break and take a while to fix (adding images, extra text)
- Not intuitive for users
Most Important Features
- Ease of use for clients
- Clean and professional looking website
- Ability for several users to edit
Return on Investment
- Positive - we are using it again this year
- Positive - we can use the previous year as a template
- Positive - Time saver and effective way to communicate with clients through the system

Complex meetings? eTouches is for you!
Pros
- Manages class size limits very well.

- Unlimited number of pages for the website is invaluable - we looked at other programs with only 4 pages for the website and that just isn't enough for our clients.
Cons

- Reporting has vastly improved!
- eSeating uses Flash which doesn't work on iPads... this can be a problem.
