We use Cvent to manage most of our annual customer event. We use Cvent for registration as well as abstract management in order to keep track of and schedule sessions. It helps to have all of this information consolidated into one place. It has helped us keep the event on track and organized.

Cvent is used across the whole organization; they are a preferred partner. Depending on the level of service that a client signs up for, they will either be using Cvent as their main registration platform or they will have the ability to use a different product/service.

Our 4-person travel and meetings department has used Cvent to design and execute large events for our organization, such as a national meeting for 850 attendees, and an incentive trip for 630 attendees. We have also used it for smaller groups and training classes. It is a robust platform which provides everything that we need in order to plan amazing events, from venue sourcing to post-event surveys and everything in between, which has been a very practical solution.

At the University of Michigan we have several schools, colleges, and units who have taken advantage of Cvent Event Management. All roles, groups, and training is owned by our team at account level, however once any SCU has gone through our onboard training we let them build, launch, and take charge of their own events.

Cvent Event Management is a tool my company uses with the majority of our clients. We are a third party event planning company and we own our own instance of Cvent. We also use other companies' instances of Cvent when they have their own licenses. Cvent helps to eliminate extra work and keep all of the information we need in one place. We used to use a proprietary system that did not tie in very well with all of the other tools our organization uses, but once we adopted Cvent, that really helped to minimize the need to move information from one system to another. Cvent has the ability to tie in with a number of other platforms that help to organize a trip more quickly and easily, with less human error.

Cvent is used for our entire event management, we do all our event registrations. Since we have started using Cvent, things have changed and we do things differently, everything is centralized and reports are more dynamic and systematic, we have gone more into paperless meetings, even for us as organizers everything is digitally stored and processed in Cvent.
Cvent is a very easy and reliable platform for having your registration website and flows, it allows you to make very complex registration paths with different exceptional scenarios, the integration with other tools such as CRM or Dynamics 365 is very nice, makes things so much easier.

The entire conference management and program management departments, as well as business services currently use Cvent. The difference is great for conference management but it fails to meet the needs of programs or business services.

Cvent has revolutionized our event management processes. We started small by only purchasing with one department for a one-year trial. After great success, we have expanded to all departments. We find the system to be user friendly, both on the staffing side and the registrant side. Customer service is top notch!

Cvent is used for event management (i.e. internal and physician training) across the whole organization. It is a great tool that helps us to identify and find meeting venues and allows us to process easily all aspects of event management such as online event registration, email communication with the attendees, and web surveys. Another great feature is the Supplier Network: a free, online marketing place that connects meeting planners with venues and services.

Cvent Event Management is used throughout many departments in our company. Clients will send meeting request forms through Cvent, our sourcing team uses Cvent to find meeting location options, and our event websites and registration sites are created in Cvent. We also use Cvent to manage attendees and room blocks and on-site at events.
