We use Cvent Event Management primarily for event registration, reporting and event website.
Cvent Event Management has obviously been built with complex events in mind. Our registration process for many events focus on lots of different registration types, optional and included sessions, travel and accommodation management, automated emails and invitation only events.
It is fit for the purpose we use it and I would recommend it to other organisations that are in need of a robust registration system.
The reporting aspect is fully developed and there are a variety of reports templates that can be used as a starting point. You can report on almost anything captured within the system.

I use Cvent Event Management for creating event builds. I appreciate the 24/7 customer service phone line. The build templates help to create builds in no time. I like how the surveys are done at the time of build, so that they are not forgotten. I like how the Cvent Salesforce application is now live.

We use it for event registration and management. It’s great to set your event up, have 1 spot for registrations and then you can send out reminders, emails, etc. from one place. We used to do everything using seperate tool e.g, we would pay a third party to host our registration ie. Eventbrite, then we would manually send out emails using our own email which was time consuming and mistakes would often be made.

Cvent Event Management is an excellent tool for our registration builds, targeted email content pre and post event, registration check-in during the event itself and for the various ways the mobile app is used to engage our participants. The ability to customize registration to collect certain information from attendees prior to the event allows our team to better focus on topics that are important to attendees, ensure dietary restrictions and ADA needs are met and the ease or reporting and filtering data to be comprehensive for various stakeholders is beneficial for real time information and can better assist in future planning.

Cvent Event Management is a one stop shop for all our event needs. We have used it to get contracts for venues, build registration sites complex events, and build apps for off-site events. It makes it very convenient to have the event information in one place that we can pull into the different these different areas.

I managed attendee registration for a number of programs at a time. Cvent Event Management has made it possible to organize all of these requests. It makes it much easier for the attendee, the manager (myself), and the clients we work with. I've had to manually collect this information before - Cvent Event Management definitely saves time and frustration.

We use Cvent Event Management while running all of our events, which generally range in scale from less than 50 people to several hundred. We use the Cvent platform from start to finish, from venue sourcing, through attendee registration, and all the way to printing badges onsite, and collecting attendance data. I use Cvent everyday, and trust in its products. Occasionally there are hiccoughs, but Cvent's support team are very responsive and competent.

In our business we use Cvent Event Management to manage delegate registrations. We do this by creating a website with all information regarding the event, and we send out comms using Cvent Event Management emails to keep delegates in the loop. It is a great tool to have while planning events, specifically to do with delegate management.

Cvent is used by our marketing department, as well as key staff on our sales team. This event management system allows us to manage the full lifecycle of our events and integrate the data with our Salesforce CRM. Cvent's nimble platform allowed us to quickly pivot from in-person to virtual events in early 2020, and execute triple the amount of events as usual, and also integrate Zoom into the platform. In fact, we were Cvent's first native Zoom integration client.

I use Cvent for all internal and external events, including the supplier network. I'm the sole user of this software in my company. Cvent eliminates the needs for spreadsheets and manual data entry. Cvent also provides one central location for me to handle all registration, hotel requests and appointment scheduling. I don't know how we survived our events before Cvent!

We use Cvent Event Management as a tool from pre-event to post event. It truly makes the event experience from save the dates, invitation, registration website (which houses all of the information from our attendees and also gives them all of the information they need to attend the event). We also use it for communications pre-event and surveys and post event communications. It is a vital tool in connecting the attendees with the event.

The biggest problem that Cvent Event Management solves for my organization is the process and management of online registrations. The ease of building these forms and accompanying website, as well as the collection of important data and payment, makes this platform rise above other event management solutions. We host several smaller events each year, averaging ~25-500 attendees each (for a total of ~1000 registrations each year). This system allows us to collect and compare data across events to determine ROI, event comparing the same events year over year. Additionally, the customizable features for building websites allows us to fully brand the experience for our attendees; it doesn't "look like" we're using a third-party site.

I am a daily user of Cvent Event Management, we support multiple client meetings and events and use it to gather all relevant data needed for a successful event. We have many clients that previously captured necessary data via surveys or emails, where they would have to piece together an attendees information like if they were attending or not, name badge details, dietary needs, swag sizes, activity preferences, etc. Then they would have to give attendees direction on how to book flights or ground if necessary. By setting their events up in Cvent Event Management we work with clients to obtain all data with one easy registration process, making their lives easier. We also use the event pages to relay all the important details of their event, such as agenda, speakers, session details, activity information, flight/hotel/ground details and more.

We plan several events per year using Cvent Event Management. We use the Flex event option to build out the registration website, send emails to our registrants, register attendees and have them complete post event surveys. Being able to have everything in one place and use the same software from start to finish has been so helpful. We have been using Cvent for 15 years and the advancements and improvements over the years continue to make my job easier.

We have a few departments at George Mason University who use Cvent. My office, University Events, contracted it for registration for events. We are a TouchNet Ready University and Cvent was a platform that worked with this service. Cvent provides us with a clean, practical, professional event registration system for our events. In particular it allows us to provide a website and full registration system for conferences.

We currently use Cvent Event Management on the campus to help out over 80+ colleges and departments create UT-branded websites for their events. The problems we have currently are bugs regarding emails, waitlists, payments, and reporting features. We need Cvent Event Management to figure out these errors sooner so that we can assist our customers quickly.
