Cvent Social Tables has been widely used by event planners and designers looking to accurately design and visualize the space needed for their events. With its user-friendly interface and accurate dimensions, users have utilized the software to check layouts, arrange buffet tables, sponsor booths, and more before their events. It has proven especially valuable in situations where social distancing is required, as it allows event planners to create visual seating plans and layouts that adhere to health and safety guidelines. The program facilitates seamless organization of event floor plans across departments, making diagramming and layout tasks much easier. Not only does it save time by eliminating manual seating chart processes for large events, but it also improves communication with attendees through features such as exporting reports and importing data to CRM systems. By providing professional diagrams and allowing control over room layouts, Cvent Social Tables eliminates the need for outsourcing and offers a more convenient alternative to other programs. It has become a preferred choice for event planners, hotel contacts, third-party planning companies, and vendors alike due to its ability to streamline event planning processes and improve the overall attendee experience.

Furthermore, some users have found the software's integration with CVENT's platform to be convoluted.
- User interface and performance concerns: Users have reported that the support provided by Social Tables is subpar. They also noted occasional lagging of the software, which could be attributed either to their internet connection or the program itself.

G2 - Cvent Event Diagrarmming statistics
There are other CAD systems used by my employer. This brings more to the table with allowing us to seat attendees it is not only a CAD program, it seats attendees so we can see who has checked in and who has not. That is something the other CAD systems cant even touch.

Cvent Diagraming - Providing Accurate Mapping for Event Excellence!
It's accurate - everything else I used is merely a template. Without the accuracy it's all a guess, the accuracy has allowed me to maximize our spaces to fit a client's needs!

Great tool. Would buy again
I have not used another software
It has similar tools that MeetingMatrix has, but the Collaboration, or allowing vendors access is the feature that I appreciate the most that Cvent Event Diagraming offers that MeetingMatrix did not have. It is also easier to save as a PDF to print and email a version to vendors as well.

It's the most comprehensive tool to stay organized, and on top of everything, when planning for large or small events.

Cvent Event Diagramming Delivers
I believe my organization has evaluated Eventbrite in the past. I'm not too familiar with Eventbrite and if it is similar to Cvent Event Diagramming. Overall, Cvent Event Diagramming seems rather advanced and a unique type of software. We have had such a great experience with Cvent that we do not plan on switching anyways.

Amazing product, user friendly
- Infor Sales and Catering (ReServe Cloud)
It’s nice because we can use visuals with social tables and easily see our event in front of us. We selected this program because it is the easiest to use. Once you learn how to use it, you can really create a floor plan for any of your spaces and venues.

Easy to use and helps us show RoI!
Cvent Social Tables is easier to use and has second to none customer service. Overall, we found that social tables provides a more lifelike, realistic depiction of the space, which is key when organizing massive show floors. It is also easier to show why certain booths are priced higher/lower than others due to where they are in the space.
Social Tables is the leading software of its kind, all of the others pale in comparison. I've used Meeting Matrix and custom Google Apps based software/applications, and Social Tables performs exponentially better than anything I've seen. Social Tables' Development Team and Sales Team are well in sync, their customer support is stellar, and their product itself is game-changing.

Great program for diagramming and more
I have also used another event diagramming software in the past, Meeting Matrix. I believe that program just created simple diagrams that you could export and send to meeting planners. Cvent Social Tables has a much more robust functionality--more than just diagrams. The ability to meet planners as well as venues to collaborate in real time on the same diagram is really helpful in getting the set exactly as the meeting planner would like it to be. Additionally their ability to use the program for attendee management is a great plus.

You'll want a seat at this table!
A2Z Floor Plan Developer is similar to Cvent Social Tables, but I think Social Tables is a bit more interactive. There are more options than just building a floor plan, you can actually assign sponsors, build the AV portion of the event, and color code the floor which is very valuable.

Floor Plans Made Easy
I have used other floorplan platforms before, but Cvent has more options and is much more user friendly.

Building Floorplans
I have not used other products like Cvent Social Tables. We used to make floorplans using PowerPoint. We would use the general outline of the room with circles and squares. Worked almost just as well as social tables, and it was easy for the client to make changes without logging into an unknown website. It was easy to save as a PDF as well to share with our other departments.

Social Tables - Good not Great

Take the headache away from table and space management
- A specific tool designed for industry requirements and isn’t a generic off the shelf tool.
- Designed by and for event professionals.

This is the only program that I have used for room layouts. Otherwise, I would find a manual way within Word.

Clean, modern event diagramming software with great customer service - just needs a working mobile app and it'd be perfect!
I have used two other types of event diagramming software previously, including Optimum Settings ii and Meeting Matrix. Both were extremely dated, and the programs looked like they still lived in the late 1990s despite being used in the 2010s. OSGi was out of business and had no technical support available. Meeting Matrix still exists and has technical support available, but we also found their customer service to be lacking, and the representatives not very available or helpful. In both cases, I switched my facilities from using their old software to Cvent Social Tables, which is much more modern, easier to use, and provides excellent customer service and technical support.

Social Tables: An Intuitive Way to Get Things Done!
The level of training required in Cvent Social Tables is minute compared to a more sophisticated program like Vectorworks or AutoCAD 360.
We can get what we need completed in a fraction of the time. The ability to plan ahead and rely on Social Tables in doing so is a real asset to us--and has been leaps and bounds more functional than utilizing other software or a more informal method. We consistently look professional and competent in presenting data and diagrams. Additionally, the historical aspect of Cvent Social Tables allows us to reference previous years, adding a vast amount of value for the client.
