Great event management software
We used it as an event management system for our annual conference. We used the abstracts, registration, survey, and other modules. Aventri really helped me organize our event and manage payments, registration information, speaker details, etc.
- Registration monitoring
- Survey module
- Speaker details and RFPs
- Eblast function
- Abstracts module doesn't "talk" to registration module
- Eblasts can sometimes be finicky and send twice
- Report functionality isn't always consistent
- Registration
- Abstracts
- Eblasts
- Ease of use for registration
- Easy way to monitor outstanding payments
- Easy to sync with mobile app for on-site
We loved CVENT and DoubleDutch, but it was much easier to have all the modules we needed in one platform, which happened to be Aventri.

A great platform!
We use Aventri for all our registration needs. We are a third-party event firm that uses the platform over a wide variety of clients in a number of different industries. We generally just use the registration platform but have used their lead retrieval, venue sourcing, website, mobile app, and expo platform.
- Customer support
- Flexibility
- Reporting
- Email look/feel
- Better website design capabilities
- Registration
- Reporting
- The ability to white label
- Provide a product customizable to all clients
- Account and system support achieve these objectives
I have only gone through demos of other products as we switched over from a custom product prior to Aventri. The biggest reason we selected Aventri is the malleability of the product, along with their amazing customer support. Their pricing is also extremely competitive, and they are very fair in their negotiations.

Aventri makes event registration a snap!
Aventri is being used by my meetings department to handle the registration process for those attending our conference. It has become a one-stop-shop for attendees to register and pay for the conference as well as book their hotel rooms (from an attached link). It allows us to also create the conference web-page with all the information in addition to registration. We also use it to create our meeting space layouts and logistics specifications for the conference.
- User-friendly.
- Mobile app syncs right from database, so no double work.
- Mobile app does not allow for video advertisements.
- The day the event is scheduled to be over in Aventri it clears from your list and it makes getting reporting and analytics difficult after the event is over.
- Smoother/quicker registration process for attendees.
- Meal tracking at registration for better F&B estimates.
I have not used Cvent but I know about them. They are double the price of Aventri and offer the same type of product. They have more integrations (like lead sourcing), however.

Complex meetings? eTouches is for you!
We manage associations and their annual conferences. We have three clients using it. One client has an annual event with 300 separate sessions for which registration is required, ranging from a class size of 1 to unlimited. eTouches handles this complex program very easily.
When we are required to do rooming lists or manage speakers' travel, the travel module is exceptionally helpful.
When we are required to do rooming lists or manage speakers' travel, the travel module is exceptionally helpful.
- Manages class size limits very well.
- Provides information for hotel booking and transfers so that all this information is in one record.
- 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.
- The transition to the new platform has taken some time to get everything functional, but they are working on it and update us regularly.
- Reporting has vastly improved!
- eSeating uses Flash which doesn't work on iPads... this can be a problem.
- Helps us offer online registration immediately for new clients - this has helped us secure new business.
eTouches was selected for the integrated package, lower cost per registrant, no limitations on web pages, availability of exhibit sales module. It can handle the complexity of our client programs very easily. eTouches tells us we are "power users ;-)".

Consistent success with eTouches
We began using eTouches as our online event management platform last year after our previous provider folded. The service eTouches provides is significantly more robust and user friendly. Its primary use is as an online registration service for the multiple events we run throughout each year. Additionally, we use it as emailing service for contacting our 1,500 members with newsletters and event announcements.
- The response time of support requests is exceptional. While they have not been able to solve every issue, they are very thorough and followup regularly.
- The availability of optional robust modules that you can choose whether or not to implement is excellent. For instance, the eSurvey module made post event evaluations significantly better than past attempts.
- The ability to assign multiple levels of users to view event reports is a big help.
- We have run into some email servers putting eTouches sent emails in spam folders. The placement has come from the server end, not the user end. This has resulted in missing survey responses.
- The ability to customize registrant categories would significantly help in evaluation completions.
- [I would like] A clear answer as to how many emails are allowed per registration.
- Much more thorough reporting than previous provider.
- The ability for long term goal creation based on the objectives evaluated post conference.
SignUp4 was our previous service and performed well. It wasn't until after it shuttered that we realized how much more could be provided. Cvent (which absorbed SignUp4) provided many of the old solutions but at a significantly higher price. In the end, it seemed more suited for very large events more so than the size we normally run. Thus we chose eTouches to supplant SignUp4.
