Pros

“The platform is an essential tool that keeps our event info and data centralized, helping improve organization, efficiency, and collaboration. While some workflows could be more streamlined, the overall functionality and reliability make it very valuable event management solution.”

Kayla S.

Event Manager

“Cvent helps streamline processes, improve efficiency, and create a better experience for both organizers and attendees including all the event registration process.”

Adriana B.

Strategic Relationship Officer

“I love how everything is all connected all the way from the speaker experience to the attendee registration so that way when you get to building the website and mobile app everything is done for you!”

Caroline T.

Global Events Technology Coordinator

Pros

“We or attendees should be able to print their certificates of attendance directly from Guidebook instead of us having to download all of the attendance information, organize it, create a system to create the certificates and then email them out.”

Amanda R.

Education Administrator

“We should be able to upload the emails of the registered attendees, and they should be able to log in and create their own password without having to click on links in emails. ”

Amanda R.

Education Administrator

“It helped to keep them on schedule during our New Student Orientation as well as gave them a place to find answers to the majority of the FAQ's that would have bombarded our administrative offices.”

Abriah F.

Executive Assistant

Cons

“At times, editing information can be time consuming because it requires navigating through multiple pages and clicks to make simple updates.”

Kayla S.

Event Manager

“Additionally, I'd like to see some upgraded features when it comes to the email confirmation side - I can never truly see what my attendees are seeing unless I actually submit test registrations myself.”

Allison B.

Corporate Events Specialist

“Customer support for setting up your registration is not as good and I wish they would help walk you through what exactly it should look like, but I believe it's an extra paid service.”

Francis B.

Events

Cons

“The invite-only feature is horrible. ”

Amanda R.

Education Administrator

“Lacks text messaging except as expensive add-on”

Benjamin L.

Reunion Co-Chair

“I would like to send live inquiries or surveys during events but these functionalities are overpriced”
