We are a small non-profit that runs about 300 events year around. We only use the Cvent Event Management platform, and let me say it is by far very sleek looking and easy to manage, now that they have moved to Flex. There is a steep learning curve to it, some of the navigations are not intuitive, but once you learn it the platform is very easy for users on the outside and staff here. It addresses the issue of mobile access to a dedicated event page that can have multiple items for people to buy. It's not clunky or single use, you can have as many different items and packages on it for people to easily purchase and/or refund.

Cvent Event Management is being used to help source and manage our company events— both internal and external events. It is being used by our event teams across our company divisions. We use it to setup our event registration, invitee management and to communicate logistics with the event attendees.

Cvent is used in our company’s event planning department for collecting attended data for a range of events, that span from employee events to customer and business partner events. Our primary goal is to collect their basic information, lodging needs, and planned participation in events that have options for what guests may attend. The reporting capabilities are key to our planning needs, and we have just begun to dip our toes into more features such as travel integration, apps, and online payments for attendees.

We use Cvent across the entire association. It is our event management solution, our contact database and our email marketing software. Cvent helps our staff of 5 do the work of a much larger organization. We also use their CrowdCompass Mobile App and their OnArrival 360 check-in app to track session attendance for CEUs.

We use Cvent Event Management to capture registration for our annual client conference. We create registration pages that registrants are guided through and answer questions and process payment to sign up to attend our annual conference. We then manage those registrations for the entire life cycle of our event. It is only used by the Marketing department who manages the event for our organization. It makes capturing registrations very easy to do and maintain.

We use Cvent as our event management system as a means to invite current customers and acquire clients to upcoming events, as well as a registration tool for internal events. Our customer-facing events built in Cvent typically have between 15 -75 registrants. Our internal events typically have 250-300 registrations.

We use Cvent Event Management for every external meeting our company holds, whether it's for 20 people or 2,000 people. The main people who use it are our events and program teams, specifically for air travel, hotel, and ticket ordering. It helps us keep track of attendees easily and to easily export information without having to manually input it.

Cvent's software is being used in different capacities. We use it to provide services to our clients. We provide support in managing just a project, and we also provide full Strategic Meetings Management Support with the software. The software addresses budget tracking and GDPR compliance.

Cvent is used across our organization, particularly by the Marketing department, to manage all of our global conference series. It automates much of the event management process, including reporting and hotel room block management. It takes the heavy lifting off of the events managers and has made our event management process so much faster.

We needed a comprehensive platform that would manage RFPs for a third-party sourcing agent, transparency into budget compliance, and overall event management. Several departments utilize Cvent within the organization, but our Event team uses it daily to conduct over 80 events per year. By using Cvent, we have nearly doubled the number of events we conduct during the course of a year without adding headcount. We are more efficient as a team and are able to place valuable event information in the hands of key stakeholders by the use of auto-reporting. We are also confident in Cvent and their adherence to GDPR and privacy laws. This adds a layer of legal protection that we need.

We use Cvent to plan three events a year. We start with choosing a hotel, then we send invitations, and setup organize registration all with Cvent. It's very easy to use, we can use past events as templates, and it is easy to manage registrations.

We used Cvent for our Team Summit Event in October of 2018 and it was a huge success! Not only did the attendees enjoy the app, they felt more connected to the company and their coworkers. For us planners, it was just what we needed. We used push notifications as reminders, updated sessions in real time (a huge change over past event software) and were able to engage the employees in all aspects of the event. It was a great tool for everyone in the company.

Each product addresses a different need within our event. These solutions have made a huge different! Now that they have implemented, I can't imagine not using them.
