About

Conference Connect is an online marketplace bringing together event organizers, speakers, attendees, vendors and more. The idea originated from two situations: 1) I decided not to attend an event because I couldn't find reviews on the event, and 2) I noticed the lack of diversity in speakers at events and how that transcended into a lack of diversity in the audience and opportunities for all. Conference Connect solves the inefficiencies in the event industry, with reviews being our major focus and driver in our flywheel. This translates to Event Organizers loving how we help them sell tickets and discover speakers, Speakers loving how we connect them with new events, and Attendees and Vendors loving how we highlight the best events to attend and sponsor. Soon, we will be integrating Ai matchmaking to help organizer pick the best speakers, and attendees and vendors pick the highest impacts (and ROI) events to attend.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Event Management Registration Website Creation Venue sourcing Layout creation Payment processing Support team
  • I enjoy how user friendly Cvent is and how I can create and manage multiple events easily. From the backend API systems communicating to using the app, this all encompassing platform has been a savior to our events team.
  • Cvent Event Management offers a wide range of advantages that make planning and executing events significantly more efficient and effective. Its centralized platform allows planners to manage registration, communication, reporting, and onsite tools all in one place, reducing the need for multiple systems and minimizing errors. The customizable event website and registration paths create a professional attendee experience while supporting complex event requirements. Automation features, such as email reminders, confirmation messages, and integrated payment processing, save time and ensure consistent communication. Cvent’s robust reporting and analytics provide real-time insights into registration trends, attendee engagement, and financial performance, empowering planners to make informed decisions quickly. Additionally, the platform’s onsite solutions, like check-in, badge printing, and session tracking, streamline day of event operations and enhance attendee satisfaction. Overall, Cvent delivers a powerful, scalable solution that improves efficiency, professionalism, and data accuracy throughout the entire event lifecycle.
  • Cvent is one of the best and most robust platforms I’ve ever used. It’s capable of handling everything an event planner needs—from complex web designs to registration logic and other essential tech components.
  • Cvent Event Management is by far the best event management system I have used. It does everything we need: - event website - registration process - multiple registration types - speaker management - session management - various pricing and discount models - automated email communications - event & session surveys - exhibitor management - etc. It does everything we need

Cons

  • I do not have any real cons regarding Cvent. They continue to improve each month as they add new services.
  • For online events, the speaker platform can be a bit wonky. Our speakers have trouble seeing us and certain content while they are presenting, which can make it difficult to communicate and signal certain cues when needed.
  • While Cvent Event Management is a powerful platform, it does come with some drawbacks. The system can be complex for new users, requiring training and time to fully understand its features and navigation. Its wide range of capabilities, though valuable, can feel overwhelming for smaller teams or simple events. Cvent can also be costly, especially for organizations running frequent or large-scale events, as additional modules and advanced features often come at an extra price. Customizations, particularly for event websites and emails, sometimes require specialized knowledge or support, which can slow down the setup process. Additionally, the platform’s performance may vary depending on internet connectivity, and certain updates or changes may require multiple steps to implement. Overall, while highly capable, Cvent may present challenges in terms of learning curve, cost, and complexity.
  • The platform can feel overwhelming at first due to its extensive features.
  • It does so much, I feel like sometimes I am missing something. Some feature or functionality I could use but I am not aware of. It is best to have a customer success person working with you to help you maximize the use of the system.
