[Cvent Event Management is well suited for] larger orgs with dedicated staff to manage, implement and support the tool. It can be used by occasional users but its such a high bar to have a successful event if you are rarely in the tool. Having a dedicated team or person is the key to a successful program.

Cvent Event Management system has great functions for small-to-medium scale workshops and professional development or professional learning offerings. One-day to one-and-a-half-day conferences can get more cumbersome without proper training and planning. Two-day conferences require team help to accomplish, track, collect payment (especially if offline payments are made), and to foster along the way. Having pre-set marketing themes and pre-created event descriptions is a major help with the load of creating several events for a season. Cvent Event Management is well suited for following attendees along their journey in the system. You can see all touchpoints made with a specific attendee or registrant, and you can monitor trend data for certain institutions that show more interest.

Cvent Event Management is well suited when it comes to sourcing events at venues or hotels. Finding the space to hold each event and delivering the specs to a variety of venues/hotels all at once makes sourcing 100x easier. I am able to save a tremendous amount of time versus having to contact each venue/hotel individually and find out if the space is available AND if the space can properly support event setup.

Cvent Event Management is being used as an event planning tool across the organization, though managed by only one department. It addresses several needs such as event registration, data collection, ticket sales, and event production tools. Cvent Event Management is a staple to add to any event that you plan. It helps to keep you organized and the ROI on ease of transaction versus pulling the event off is above any other platform that is out there. Hybrid, virtual, or in-person, I will not do an event without Cvent.

Again, great for event registration and payment. It is so easy to use and makes conference organizers' lives easier. The bid process for other services is also really good. The only problem I have experienced is the departments are often siloed—each department does not seem to know the organization was already a customer.

Cvent is ideal for collecting information from the attendees coming to your event. The attendees could just be attending your event or taking an extra training session, Cvent allows you to supply tracks attendees can pick at registration which will allow them to go down the path that is ideal for them. Additional, if there is a fee or an extra step for one type of attendee vs another one, Cvent handles that seamlessly!

Cvent Event Management is perfect for all kinds of events. The recent upgrades and updates that make it easier to manage virtual and hybrid events have really helped us in recent times. The only caveat is that it is so powerful, packed with features and constantly upgrading that there is a high learning curve. I have been using it for almost 10 years and I'm still learning new things every day!

For our Marketing department, to put on a complex event the scale of what we do and with the limited staff we have to handle said event, Cvent Event Management helps serve as an additional member of our team. We don't have the bandwidth to handle manual tracking, and Cvent helps keep us organized and on track.

As a registration platform, [Cvent Event Management] suits our one event per year model, the mobile app was useful, but did make our simple conference website a bit redundant. If you have a really extensive website in place for your event, [Cvent Event Management] may not provide a lot of extra value beyond streamlining and handling your registration. If you're hosting a virtual event, either be prepared to pay the high cost of their support services or be in an awkward position of being able to handle the technical aspects but having to jump through a hoop or two to get the small amount of support needed to troubleshoot small problems.

Collecting registration information and easily organizing it for us is much needed and Cvent does a great job of that. We need these for our events when we pull the registration list for multiple different reasons: create lab station assignments, provide headcount and dietary restrictions to culinary, and report the HCP spend.

For external attendees such as trainees or instructors outside of the organization, Cvent should be used. It will allow the team managing the event to have all registrations in one place and be able to monitor all registrations and declines in one place. I would recommend using Cvent for all training programs and workshops. It is very useful to track and manage attendees.

Cvent Event Management can be useful if a tool is needed to collect and track registrations and attendance for events. It would be less appropriate for online events, in my opinion, compared to designated webinar tools like On24. If one is less experienced with event management, Cvent Event Management may be less appropriate due to the steep learning curve and difficult user interface.

Cvent Event Management is well-suited for complex events with lots of moving parts, such as a conference with a call for presenters, exhibitors, multiple types of registrations, lots of parallel tracks and sessions, etc. If you have a simple event with one type of ticket and the one main stage for the whole time, don't bother learning how to use Cvent Event Management and go with something more barebones such as Eventbrite.

For us, it's perfect because it's an end-to-end platform. From venue sourcing to reports and ROI, Cvent allows us to do everything we want to set up the conference our attendees want. We've not yet tried it on a smaller scale (like with our regional holiday parties), but I imagine it'd work just as well. In my experience, it's just been more well-suited for larger events.
