"Our first go around with mobile apps was with a web based app. Learning a lot, we switched to a native app on the second go around and things really took off. App usage more than doubled from our previous year and we created a new mobile sponsorship channel."

"I was able to upload a lot of content on the fly, right from my iPad. I could map it out and get everything loaded. When we did have a question or run into difficulties, CrowdCompass was extremely responsive and would always resolve any issues within the hour."

"We only have 4 people on staff and we are able to make a really professional looking app ourselves."

"The partnership with Cvent has enabled growth. But really it's enabled growth within the chapter and organization itself. We really haven't had to add additional staff members because of the technology that's available to us through Cvent."

"There have been times when there were challenges, things didn't go as either party planned, and fortunately there's always a way to come up with a solution that works for everybody. I have found that the Cvent team is always right there to assist, lend a hand, and make sure …

"Our internal stakeholders were completely on board with incorporating an app. We did have push back on providing tablets to each attendee, but once it was clear the return the app would bring, the tablet giveaway became a non issue."

"We’re a technology company, and the fact that we were still spending time compiling handouts and three-ring binders for the event just seemed ridiculous. It was time to try something new."

"The mobile event app really has changed the way we manage our on-site functions, which is a game-changer."

"Every time we hear of something new at Cvent, my team comes to my desk saying, oh my gosh, another tool for us’!’ I smile, this was such a good decision we made! This was SO worth it."

"I love so many features of CrowdCompass, but live polling is really a hit right now. You can get the pulse of the audience. It’s quick, and it really engages people."

“We were able to reduce the amount of paper used by asking all of our presenters to use the app for their own agendas, a considerable cost savings.”

"I’ve been coming to these conferences for 19 years, and I have to say this (beacons) is the best mode of communication we have had to date."

"We see Cvent providing us with that seamless experience to enhance the value of our show to our membership base, hence increasing participation and success year after year."

"Our attendees were impressed by our 'high-tech' check-in process. The instant nature of Cvent's connectivity across its main platform, CrowdCompass, and OnArrival is impressive. It has made our jobs so much easier, while making our events look much more professional."

"The support is incredible. It’s hands-on when you need it, and on demand when you want it. One point of contact is great because that person understands how you work and your quirks making it a much more personal service. Not something you typically expect from a large company."
