We use Cvent’s registration and sourcing tools. The registration tool allows us to collect extremely dynamic information and customize it to each registration type. The sourcing tool is the best for keeping all records in one location and rates a report for reviewing details side by side, which is a much better way for my stakeholders to make a quick and easy comparison.

Cvent has been a great attendee management tool for several of our larger delegation trips—the platform streamlines our registration and payment processes, builds in account security, and interfaces with CrowdCompass for a user-friendly app experience.

We use it to build websites for our events, collect registration data and provide reports. We also use it to pull information into CrowdCompass so we can produce mobile apps for some events. It is used by our group travel department. It is a one stop shop for our registration processes.

Cvent Event Management is used to manage large events, trips, and other gatherings within our organization. We moved from another platform and since Cvent has released its flex platform we are happy with the technology and capabilities. We are also looking to integrate with Salesforce and are hoping to use the Cvent connector to facilitate this so we can keep better track of our engagement metrics.

We use Cvent throughout our company to build registration websites and manage attendees. Our company also uses it to pull reports for our clients. The easy access to information has been a great tool for our company. On arrival is one of our greatest features to offer our clients. We have even used the Event in a Box option at one of our large events in Las Vegas.

Cvent Event Management is used by our Global Travel Meetings & Events team to manage registration and onsite experiences for our firm events. We use the tool to capture registration information, hotel reservations requests and travel information and are also using some of their other solutions like travel integrations (Passkey and GetThere), OnArrival and CrowdCompass to further improve the meeting experience for our attendees.

It is being used by our whole organization for event management, abstract management, mobile app, and onsite registration. We have a team of at least 10 people using it at one time for different things. We all play a part in event set up, registrations, abstracts, mobile app, etc. It's nice that you can have as many users as you need.

Cvent Event Management is being used by a whole department. We use it to organize events with each other, and it's allowed us to easily connect with each other during a time that works for us all. It is easy to use and requires no additional training before being implemented. We have used it to hold events.

My client uses Cvent event management for about 6-7 events a year. A few other clients in our office also use Cvent for their event needs. We find that with Cvent we get the most streamlined registration process and that it easily translates into any and all reports we may need about the event. The reporting feature alone makes Cvent completely worth the expense of the program. We have one event that we need to know everyone’s specific dietary needs and accessibility needs to supply to the hotel and make sure our guests are cared for. This would be a huge project if Cvent didn’t make it so easy to pull and compare the reports.

We use Cvent to send event RFPs out to multiple potential hotel partners at once, as well as to track and organize their responses and proposals. We use this tool companywide, at least for those who contract hotel room blocks for our various events/clients. It saves a lot of time on a process that could be much lengthier if done manually.

We use it from the supplier standpoint as an event venue. It allows us to have an easily accessible way for potential clients to find us and fill out an easy to use form. The form has all the information we need to defectively respond to the client and be prepared for a conversation. Helping, especially new event planners, give us specific information makes our follow up significantly more effective!

Cvent Event Management is being used by specific departments to help with all events needs, mostly in the form of temporary event website + registration engine. We also use it for advertising & communication via email. It is an all-in-one solution, which has its advantages (convenience, homogeneous data), but also some inconveniences (limited design capabilities).

Our entire meeting and event department uses Cvent (approximately 30 planners) as well as some occasional planners. We use it for everything event-related. We use the registration software, the RPF tool, the supplier network, Kapow (for unique ideas), and CrowdCompass. It's great to have so many tools in the same place.

My company uses a number of Cvent solutions, primarily within the Events Department. We specifically use the Event Management solution, Crowd Compass mobile app, and OnArrival solutions for over 50 member events annually, both domestic and globally, with our largest event being a conference with 3,000+ attendees. We are a member-based organization, so our registration must adhere to our need of vetting registrants so that the correct audience is coming to our events, and with Cvent we have found the ability to create advanced and intricate registration websites that we very heavily rely on.

Our company uses Cvent Event Management for all event registration (large conventions all the way down to small incentive trips). With the integration into crowd compass and Passkey, we are able to provide a one-stop-shop for attendees information for every event. Registration information, hotel accommodations, and confirmations, and additional on-site information. It gives us the extra leg in communication ease, which could arguably be an issue for every company and every business out there.

Cvent Event Management is being used across the whole organization. We use it to book Travel and Incentive meetings and vacations for our corporate clients by designing their custom registration site, handling their hotel and air requests, and coordinating activities. It addresses the business problems of having multiple hard copies for each program, and keeps the jobs liquid and changing with the technology. I really like working with Cvent Event Management. I think it is a great tool to have under your belt and it is used across multiple fields. It makes the data simple to work with and keeps everything organized and customizable.

Review on Cvent!

Cvent Event Management software was implemented by our company in 2018. We are using it for all of our small to large scale events. We build a registration site, use it for managing attendee communication, onsite check in and we also use its post event survey for feedback collection. We were using paper forms earlier, so it was really hard to manage attendee and compare year on year. With Cvent, I can go back to 2018 and compare with 2019. I can update a budget and pull customized reports. It's like a one stop shop for our events. We keep all documents, everything in Cvent. It has reduced so much paperwork, it's really a fine event management tool.

We have an Alumni Management team and Events Management team. Both departments within our company host events of various sizes for college alumni, hospital staff, patients and our corporate offices. Cvent is our registration management system for nearly all of these events with attendance numbers ranging from just a handful up to the thousands. They also have open API, which I am currently working on for automating the reporting system.

Currently, I am the only manager using Cvent Event Management, however, it is allowing me to network with other people in the hospitality industry to get best practices on how to grow our current business. It allows us to find new and inventive ways to attract new clients and to keep existing clients.
