Top 5 Cvent alternatives for planning seamless events

Cvent delivers integrated technology solutions to support every element of your event and meeting planning, from registration and marketing to check-in, badging, and venue sourcing. But Cvent isn’t right for every event or every organization. If you’re looking for a different event management solution, there are plenty of other options to explore.

Whether you’re planning in-person, virtual, or hybrid events, the following event management solutions can help you streamline and improve your event management and planning process.

1. SpotMe

SpotMe integrates with technology like Salesforce, Veeva, and Marketo, making it a seamless addition to your other platforms.

If you’re looking for a hands-off management experience, SpotMe offers white-glove services and implementation teams that can help to get your event up and running. Live customer support is available in less than 30 seconds, and you can access that support 24-7.
