SPOTLIGHT: Cvent Essentials

You may remember the Cvent Essentials concept was originally unveiled at Cvent CONNECT in 2024 during our Event Cloud mainstage roadmap session. In this spotlight, we're providing an update. Cvent Essentials should reach GA (General Availability) in Q2 and will support smaller, repeatable, on-brand events across an organization.

Cvent Essentials Road to Launch Update

We know first-hand the challenge of having a busy Meeting & Events team who physically can't manage every and any event because of sheer volume or geography; however, we still want the guardrails that our expert event planners can provide with our smaller in-person events.

Cvent Essentials has been designed to solve this exact problem as an all-in-one solution to streamline event management across an organization for repeatable, simple, in-person events. Cvent Essentials empowers others in your organization to self-serve their field events with minimal training and oversight.

Cvent Essentials provides:

• Pre-approved event templates make for easy set-up and ensure on-brand websites

• A streamlined registration flow captures data in real-time and allows for integration into CRM platforms like Salesforce, Marketo, Eloqua, Hubspot, etc.

• Onsite check-in via OnArrival enables easy check-in or walk-up registration.

• Audience engagement tools include polling, Q&A, live display, and feedback.

• Built-in compliance checks to reduce legal/compliance risks

• Real-time data and analytics within a single platform to keep your entire event program data in one place.
