Considered Both Products	Accelevents Deanna Eng VP of Strategy Chose Accelevents Accelevents is the easiest to use and has the best support. They're constantly innovating and adding new functionality and they want to hear from me on how to make the platform better. We are here to stay. Incentivized Helpful?	Cvent Event Diagramming Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming There are other CAD systems used by my employer. This brings more to the table with allowing us to seat attendees it is not only a CAD program, it seats attendees so we can see who has checked in and who has not. That is something the other CAD systems cant even touch. Incentivized Helpful? Lesley Irminger Events Manager, External and Sponsored Events Chose Cvent Event Diagramming It's accurate - everything else I used is merely a template.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming It’s nice because we can use visuals with social tables and easily see our event in front of us. We selected this program because it is the easiest to use. Once you learn how to use it, you can really create a floor plan for any of your spaces and venues. Incentivized Helpful? MF Monique Frankfort Destination Sales Executive Chose Cvent Event Diagramming I have also used another event diagramming software in the past, Meeting Matrix. I believe that program just created simple diagrams that you could export and send to meeting planners. Cvent Social Tables has a much more robust functionality--more than just diagrams. The … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming Cvent Social Tables is easier to use and has second to none customer service.

Ruslana Milikhiker, CEM Conference & Event Manager Chose Cvent Event Diagramming A2Z Floor Plan Developer is similar to Cvent Social Tables, but I think Social Tables is a bit more interactive.

Incentivized Helpful? Ashley Peacock, CVP Senior Event Services Manager Chose Cvent Event Diagramming I have used two other types of event diagramming software previously, including Optimum Settings ii and Meeting Matrix. Both were extremely dated, and the programs looked like they still lived in the late 1990s despite being used in the 2010s. OSGi was out of business and had … Incentivized Helpful? NH Nicole Hayford Executive Meeting Manager Chose Cvent Event Diagramming I have not used other products like Cvent Social Tables. We used to make floorplans using PowerPoint.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Cvent Event Diagramming Caterease is what our team uses, and while it's suitable for putting together menus, it lacks the broad logistics/calendars and timelines that I've seen with Cvent Social Tables.

User Testimonials
	Accelevents	Cvent Event Diagramming
Likelihood to Recommend	Accelevents is very well suited for companies building an event program who want an ease to use platform that also has all the flexibility and features you could ever want. We love how it's all under one roof as they say. So we don't need to go connecting multiple tools together. Our previus platform had all of the features, but they were disconnected. Accelevents is much smoother to work with saving our team a ton of time and making everything more simple for our attendees. Deanna Eng VP of Strategy Read full review	It's the best software I've used. It allowed me to collaborate on a huge event with multiple stakeholders to ensure the main planner understood the venue and capacity issues. It's also allowed me to realize the scope of venue needs and abilities. Very helpful in visualizing a space Incentivized Lesley Irminger Events Manager, External and Sponsored Events Read full review
Pros	Customer support Ease of use Customization Branding Flexbility Looks great Deanna Eng VP of Strategy Read full review	Scaling - I love that you can scale a layout in the program, and it tends to be pretty spot on. For example, we could have 20 different measurements for a street, once we type in a single measurement the rest auto fills (and is REALLY close to accurate). Uploading - I love that you can upload images and mark all over them. Particularly, you can upload google earth images for outside festivals, and scale them accordingly. Creating - In the program you can create a diagram based on the size of the room. For example, if you know you have a 40x80 tent, you can make a custom layout and build the whole thing. Setup Templates - These templates make it easy for you to auto fill an entire room with rounds, rectangles or other formations without having to fill them all in individually. Incentivized Ellen Valdez, CMP Event Manager Read full review
Cons	More robust email manegement Support for additional badge printers Hotel room booking Deanna Eng VP of Strategy Read full review	A development that would be useful would be the ability to reorder the diagrams to a custom order in one event so that when exported as one document, they are in an order that can be customized to flow well for the meeting planner. Incentivized MF Monique Frankfort Destination Sales Executive Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	Cvent Diagramming really does cover the bases for us. It's an easy to use program that anyone can figure out. It's got collaboration features so we can share with clients and they can make their own edits. Venues can send us there floorplans and send directly to us for edits. Overall: their templates, table numbering feature, measuring, scaling and shape/object tools make building floorplans easy Incentivized Ellen Valdez, CMP Event Manager Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	The support was exceptional, and they remained an arm's reach away for when we ran into any questions after we began using the tool. Overall, we experienced phenomenal customer service. We also had more than one web-based call where their team would walk us through examples and answer any questions we had.

Return on Investment	Increased sponsor revenue from our events that we put towards event activations Higher attendance rate through cart abandonment tracking and re-engagement Overall time savings for my team Deanna Eng VP of Strategy Read full review	Has saved us 10+ staff hours per event. Has streamlined our registration and check-in process, saving us an hour+ on-site, plus ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience for staff and attendees. Has saved us up to $1,000+ for signature events when managing F&B budget items. Incentivized Lisa Kelley, CMP Events & Marketing Manager Read full review
