Cvent is one of the most widely used enterprise event management suites. Planners create event websites and registration forms, collect payments, manage agendas and speakers, and communicate with attendees. A venue sourcing marketplace helps find hotels and meeting spaces and request proposals, which is a central part of corporate meeting planning, and tools handle housing blocks and travel for attendees.
On site and after the event, it provides engagement and measurement. Mobile apps, check-in, and badge printing run the day, while surveys and analytics measure attendance and satisfaction. AI features help generate event content, match attendees for networking, and assist with planning tasks, and integrations connect with CRMs and marketing automation to link events to pipeline. It supports in-person, virtual, and hybrid formats.
Cvent is sold on enterprise contracts with pricing by modules and event volume, and it can be expensive for small organizations. It owns a broad portfolio, so learning and implementing it take time. Competitors include Bizzabo, Eventbrite for ticketing, Swapcard, Hopin’s successors, and Momentus. Cvent suits large organizations and event agencies that run many events and need a single system.
