Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Event Management for our Gala dinner and also our annual conference. We have many different registration types and needed a system to coordinate the different messages to each type, collect payment, and provide a mobile app. After using the system, we expanded to use the Abstract collection, on arrival, Diagraming, and considering more!

Pros

Keeps track of emails to attendees and their preferences.
Reporting - we can get reports on almost anything you need.
Design - so many different ways you can set up the registration pages and design.

Cons

Exhibitor management - is getting better but feels a bit clunky.
App - do attendees even want apps anymore, usage is going down, so maybe it is not giving attendees what they need?

Return on Investment

Make us look more professional.
We work smarter and more efficiently.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I managed attendee registration for a number of programs at a time. Cvent Event Management has made it possible to organize all of these requests. It makes it much easier for the attendee, the manager (myself), and the clients we work with. I've had to manually collect this information before - Cvent Event Management definitely saves time and frustration.

Pros

Reporting features
Organized data
User friendly

Cons

Updating attendee info - without access to my clients full account, I get stuck and can't update an email or incorrect spelling
People are constantly skipping hotel and/or airline requests
Make a report that pulls absolutely every single thing collected in a website
