Cvent Event Diagramming is an intuitive program that helps bring the room set-up to life. I appreciate having this tool to show my vendors and hotel contact the vision of how I would like the room set-up. I also like the ability to give them access so they can collaborate with me and help design the room layout.
- Visual & Collaboration Tool
- Ability to easily search venues and room, and download them into my account.

- Easier to load preset templates and be able to adjust them
- More graphics

Leave the frustration behind!
I took the free course to gain professional experience and better understanding about spacing, arrangements, and practical designs for conferences and events. The program was easy to follow and I would recommend it to others who are just starting in the field or even those venues that are established. It’s easy to use and the training is purposeful.
- Spacing
- Placement of tables
- Various designs of tables

Helpful Visuals
This product has helped us sketch out what our needs will be with a venue and how we can best design an event to be successful for us, our colleagues, and our partners and attendees. Being able to have a visual tool in event planning is hugely helpful and valuable to a successful event and experience for attendees.
- Visual tool for diagramming
- Allows us to show our business partners how things will look
- Allows us to identify issues with a space before arriving onsite
- There's a little bit of a learning curve

Great event planning tool!
I used Cvent Event Diagramming to create floor plans for events. We used it to make sure the layout was accurate and proportional, and that we could fit the necessary furniture and technology into the room when fully occupied. I like that you can accurately design the space needed. I would recommend it to any event planner/designer of any company/industry.
- Ability to color code
- Proportional distancing between furniture
- Local floor plans
- Create more custom items

Great features, super useful
I have used Cvent Event Diagramming for clients. We used the diagramming to check layouts, arrange buffet, tables, sponsor booths, etc. to determine it would work. Each item is great to help the event coordinator to check sizing and layouts before the event, and to show our client how things will look during the event. This helps in predicting final costs and producing a budget.
- Stores plans
- Showing distance around rooms/layouts
- Color code items for easy use/identification
- Ability to create additional custom items
- Share with external users

Amazing product, user friendly
Social tables is being used by my team and the event sales team. We use it to create layouts and floor plans for our events. We use it for specific spaces and venues across our facilities. We love social tables because it is so easy to use and we are able to drop blank floor plans of our space into the design.
- Upload floor plans
- Downloads to pdf
- Good objects (chairs, tables)
- Easy
- Auto saves
- 3D image upgrades
- More objects
- Download into different formats besides pdf

Cvent Review
My company uses Cvent for creating a shareable workplace to plan incentive travel trips and company meeting events. Cvent allows us to hold all the information for the simultaneous projects we run all on one database that all of our coworkers are able to access. I, myself, personally work on the registration end of Cvent and we really enjoy the capabilities for creating websites both front and back sides, and the registration fields are easy to use.
- Registration
- Website Design
- Customer Service
- The switch between the old Cvent and Cvent Flex is going pretty well, but there are certain differences that have proven difficult for some of our employees

Easy to use and helps us show RoI!
Cvent social tables is being used across multiple departments in our organization for a variety of events. It helps us seamlessly and easily organize our event floor plans across departments/siloed teams. It makes diagramming and layout of event space so easy. This has always been an arduous task with other vendors, but no more!
- Easy to use
- Realistic imaging
- Shows RoI
- More customizable
- Not mobile friendly
- Not as easy for smaller events

Easy to use with many effective features.
This program is being used solely by the events department to organize and plan seating charts and room placements for our conferences. It allows us to properly plan out room capacities, seating charts and layouts, and saves our team time when set-up day comes around. It also allows us to effectively communicate with our vendors and hotel events team on how the rooms can be set up, fire marshal approvals, and exact expectations prior to the event.
- Easy to use.
- Easy adjustments can be made to room layouts.
- Pre-uploaded event space layouts.
- Easy to navigate for inexperienced planners.
- More exact room specs for more accurate measurements/capacities.
- More uploaded event space layouts.
- Possibly gridding options for layouts.
Our University Conference Center department uses Social Tables to create floor plan layouts for our meeting and event space. Event Planners and I use the software to develop and share with clients accurate depictions of how an event space can be setup and what it will look like. Social Tables makes the challenge of communicating vision of an event with a client an easy challenge to overcome and thrive through.
- Great user interface: seamless, aesthetically pleasing, and high functionality design.
- Well developed features: the developers of the software clearly understand event planning and conference centers, as made evident by the rich inventory of equipment/features to add to floor plans and the tools provided to communicate and track space needs, i.e. easy to use and interpret dimension lines to ensure proper aisle-ways, etc..
- Strong Event/Floor Plan Database: well thought out interface organizing facility rooms and events.
- Seamless, simple, quick process for uploading space designs: simply provide a blueprint or CAD file and they can get the space created as a floor plan in no time.
- Some of the finer features of the new update are limiting, such as the inability to customize standard equipment features, e.g. inability to set a standard podium size.
- Inability to integrate with other events platforms such as EMS, it would be great if the maps could automatically be linked to Reservations in our booking software.
- It's hard to think of many areas for improvement, it's a great software!

Great program for diagramming and more
Cvent Social Tables is used to diagram event space as well as manage attendees attending events. This meets the needs of both the venue as well as the meeting planner using that venue. Especially during this time of social distancing, it is incredibly useful to correctly allocate our meeting space based on the size of a customer's meeting to keep with CDC guidelines.
- Ease of creating diagrams
- Space check to ensure social distancing
- Ability to render the diagram in 3D
- A development that would be useful would be the ability to reorder the diagrams to a custom order in one event so that when exported as one document, they are in an order that can be customized to flow well for the meeting planner.

Social Tables Review
[Cvent Social Tables is used] primarily for visual seating and layouts to create dynamic room flows. This will be increasingly important and social distancing in onsite room sets is required.
- Room layout
- Space settings
- Visual seating
- Some areas can be a bit convoluted
- Pricing
We use Social tables within our Events Department for all mixers and signature events. Primarily, this is how we check in attendees to measure our overall engagement. We then export the report and import the data to our CRM so our sales team can follow up with attendees. We also use Social Tables when creating diagrams with our venues, and assigning seating arrangements.
- User-friendly. It's easy for us to train other team members/staff/volunteers to use the front-end system for registration and event check-in.
- Social Tables is great for creating custom room layouts and diagrams.
- Social tables is customizable. We're able to capture specific information for attendees, and can "tag" them when additional info is needed.
- I'd love to see more filtering capabilities when searching through registrants.
- It would be nice if Social tables could be integrated to work directly with Salesforce, our CRM so we wouldn't have to import/export our reporting.
- I'd love for Social Tables to directly integrate with OnArrival. (Maybe it does and we just haven't figured that out yet?)

- This is a very simple program.
- It takes very little time to complete.
- Very professional looking.
- Easy to navigate.
- No room for improvement!
- Everyone should be using it!
- Easy to navigate!

Floor Plans for Every Event, Big or Small!
I have used Cvent Social Tables to create floor plans for clients and brides. I worked in the Wedding Industry in Dallas doing event design. We used Social Tables to make sure the layout was proportionate, we could add in drape to see how much we needed to cover certain walls, make sure dining tables would fit, make sure buffets would work, etc. I love the thought behind each and every item that can be used in Social Tables to really make sure the designer is able to accurately design the space needed. I do not often run into items that I wish I could place on my floor plans because the list is very comprehensive. This allows for our clients to get a better feel for the design as well as we can see how many tables they may need to rent, how many different centerpieces, etc.
- Stored local floor plans.
- Ability to color code items.
- Showing distance needed around a table.
- Ability to create more custom items.

Easy to Use and makes it easy to plan!
We use SocialTables to arrange the floor plan for our events. It allows us to easily communicate with the event venues what we expect, coordinates seating and room turnover, communicates with event design professionals, and more. It is used by our event planning department only at this point in time but may be expanded at a later date.
- Floor plan
- Seating asssignments
- Design
- Organization
- Event flow
- Instead of just floor plans, I think it would be helpful to be able to see pictures of the interior venue.

You'll want a seat at this table!
We use Social Tables to create floor plans and share them amongst our team. It's a great collaboration tool with our AV partner, the hotel, and the event team. We also like being able to have an inventory of floor plans from past events to be able to reference them when creating and editing new event diagrams.
- Organization.
- Easy to use.
- Innovative.

Social Tables - Good not Great
We use Cvent Social Tables for room diagrams and assigned seating for large luncheon and dinner events. It is used across the organization and gives us a way to allow multiple people to collaborate on seating arrangements.
- Easy to seat people based on grouping together individuals
- Track everything in one place including meal preference
- When you're viewing people to seat, you should be able to sort by last name
- Would like to see easier navigation when clicking and dragging people to seats

- Would like to see more customization options.
- Better integration with Cvent.

Love Social Tables!
Since we switched to Cvent Social Tables, creating diagrams for my events has been a breeze. I find it to be quite user-friendly but if I ever have any issues, I enjoy that I can jump on a live chat with the support team and get any issues resolved quickly. The universal search feature and favorites option is a real time saver. Best of all, I enjoy that I am able to add my clients as collaborators so that they can make and changes themselves. For those less tech savvy clients, I find I can send a link to my client for them to view my actions in real time while I have them on the phone. I give it an A++!
- Universal Search
- Live Chat
- Improving service perimeter so that we can export multiple diagrams as one document rather than as individual PDFs. Currently because of the service perimeter settings, when we try to utilize the 'Export All' function, each diagram prints extremely small on the page.
- I would like to be able to save specific colors as favorites. I tend to color code the items on a diagram (all AV in orange, all F&B in light blue, all items clients are providing in yellow, etc.). Currently, if I want to use a specific shade of a color, I have to select a currently shaded item and copy/paste the color code. Makes for extra steps in an otherwise quick process.
