Overall Cvent Experience
Cvent Event Management is used in our organization for many things. The most common aspect we use is registration. Cvent Event Management helps to push out invites and compiles all the replies. But, we also use the platform for Surveys, OnArrival, the Event App and many more. It is a great product that helps us keep many things in one place.

Good in person event management
The Event in a Box system was very useful for registering attendees at a conference, and then being able to check them off and print their name badges as they arrived. The Lead Capture element worked well with this too, with the QR codes printed on their name badges providing the information needed.

Cvent User - Registration Management
Cvent Event Management is used in a variety of ways within our department but I use it specifically to manage registration, flight manifests and email communication.
The Cvent Event Management tool is being used across the whole organization to help set up virtual and in-person events with employees and clients all over the world. It's a powerful tool to maintain a clear record of who has registered for an event and who hasn't, allowing us to get clear reports for marketing use. So far, the only issues we are having are because our account is so big and we handle so many events at the same time (50+ per month), creating hundred of reports every months and importing as many contact groups (with thousands of contacts), documents and images, that it's looking a bit cluttered on the backend. Reports can be mass deleted, but documents, images and contact groups must be deleted one by one. Contacts, on the other hand, cannot be removed, even if they are no longer valid, so we need to merge the outdated contacts with each other to "delete" them

A Feature Rich Event Management Platform
Cvent Event Management is a robust platform with a lot of different options for event management of all kinds. My organization utilizes its services to support in-person conferences and webinars throughout the calendar year. There are many options for building out the registration, developing the event's website and sending event-related emails to invitees and registrants.

Cvent Review
I use Cvent Event Management to build and create conferences for professional development. I just learned how to set up the speaker website and have really enjoyed exploring all that it has to offer. The registration process is easy for attendees as well as in the back end. One thing I hope will improve would be the badges and certificates designer it is very hard to create them in this way, I prefer the way it is to design emails.

Cvent Offers Full Service Meetings Management Tool
We use Cvent Event Management to handle Boston Scientific's Strategic Meetings Management Program. We collect data on most meetings & events held at the company through Cvent. This allows us to collect multiple data points within Cvent in order to determine the amount of spend for meetings as well as who is holding them and when. We also use Cvent Event Management to collect meeting registration information.

Cvent Event Management is Useful, But Not the Most User-Friendly
We use Cvent Event Management for our annual in-person event and virtual master classes. It helps us with collecting registrations, and revenue, updating event information, email reminders, and surveys after the event take place. Our company requires a platform that hosts every aspect of the events we host from preplanning the agenda to invitations, to registration launches, to post-mortem feedback opportunities.

We trust Cvent Event Management with our events because we know they support us each step of the way
We have been using Cvent Event Management for over 10 years to manage two types of events: our annual customer conferences (up to 400 people in-person and now hundreds of online attendees) as well as our smaller hands-on product training registration.
Cvent Event Management has continued to evolve their solutions to create an ever better registration experience for our customers. The platform has the tools we need to handle complex curriculum and now the extended needs for virtual and hybrid events.

Powerhouse software
I really appreciate all that this software can do for my events. It allows me and my team to use it as an overall project planning that seamlessly connects to other areas with timelines and real-time updates. I like the capability for virtual/hybrid and even some basic CRM along with marketing, revenue, and lead generation.

Complex Solution for Complex Events
We host an international event with around 2,500 attendees from over 50 countries every year - we require a registration platform that is fully multilingual, can handle taxes, discounts and a combination of online and offline payments, multiple registration types, adding guests, donations, optional items and sessions, produce complex reports, and so much more. Previously we had to create different registration processes for different members in various countries/languages, and our accounting team was having to do a lot more work to track purchases of various additional optional items.

Within our department, it is used heavily as a communication and registration tool in event management. We use it for sending advertising emails and building registration and information websites for events with over 4,000 attendees from around the world. We use it for check in at events, to collect fees, and for data and statistic management after the events.

Some ideas for OnArrival and reporting improvements
We use it to manage multiple events. The business problems I mainly focus on would be the onsite solutions within Cvent. But we use Cvent all the way from the registration website build, exhibitor management, crowd compass, mobile application, attendee hub, passkey, and OnArrival. It would depend on which services are contracted with the respective clients we have that would depend on what services we use within the platform.

Great tool to invest in
We produce hundreds of live, virtual, and hybrid events across the United States each year. This ranges from small, corporate meetings in hotel ballrooms to multi-day music festivals. We have used Cvent for in-person events prior to the pandemic, and we have been encouraging our larger clients to invest in Cvent as a long-term event management solutions for their live, virtual, and hybrid events moving forward. We enjoy the registration portal options, easy use on the attendee side of things, and customization options that Cvent offers.

We use Cvent to track attendees for all of our external client events, and many of our internal events. The platform makes it easy to have all of our data in one spot, so we can use that for customer analytics.

Cvent Event Management at a Glance
We are an events and experiences company. We utilize Cvent Event Management every day for our event registrations. We have hundreds of events each year that require registration and Cvent Event Management is the platform that helps us complete this task. Without Cvent Event Management, our jobs would be much harder. They have been a good partner for us.

perfect for hybrid events!
We use it for tracking, email communication to attendees & speakers, event agenda & resources & countdowns. Our staff has access to everything & love that speakers are responsible for uploading their own information. Custom branding & custom website. We use for our major conference each year. It is easy to use & once you have the hang of it, it's seamless.

Relatively New To events
I use Cvent Event Management both firsthand and as a delegator. CEM allows us to seamlessly manage event metrics and communicate with our attendees in a polished and professional-looking way. In my current role, I don't actually get to use Cvent a lot. We have a team who builds events for us using Cvent, however, in my previous role I used Cvent every day so I have a decent amount of experience with the platform.

Cvent Review - Express

We used Cvent Express for all of our in-person events as well as Webinars. Thanks to the WebEx integration. Most of the events we hosted were not large (i.e. we did not need to book hotels, have tickets for entry, etc.) so Express made the setup process quick and easy. After that was done, it also made registration, pre-event follow-up and post-event follow-up seamless.

We transitioned to Cvent Event Management after using another virtual event platform and it has changed the game for us! It made hybrid events not only possible, but seamless. We could manage all the aspects in one place and create a beautiful and branded experience for out attendees. The back end is so easy to use for myself and my colleagues and keeps everything consistent event to event. We have really enjoyed the customer support resources that help us troubleshoot and issues we do come across. All around a very positive experience for all!
