As we close the book on 2017 and sled head-first into the new year, it’s nice to take a little time to share in some good-spirited revelry with our event industry friends and colleagues. Nobody knows the highs and lows of events better than other planners, so crack open a can of wassail or a bottle of your favorite nog, gather around the fire, and say farewell to another year of event planning.
To help you celebrate, the elves at the Cvent blog have composed a little ditty that’s sure to get you in the holiday spirit. As our gift to you, here are The 12 Days of Cvent.
On the first day of Cvent, a planner will defeat...
A CEO who wants event stats.
Our reporting tools satisfy even the scroogiest data needs. Cut through the humbug with our user-friendly event dashboard.
Two typoed nametags.
Getting a misspelled name badge is enough to put anyone in a "crumby" mood. Be a smart cookie and print your own badges onsite. It’s easier than you think.
Three ghost attendees.
Don’t be haunted by the ghosts of events past. Advanced attendee tracking helps you know where your attendees are going and what they're interested in.
Four event websites.
HTML and shoddy CMS got you feeling like a Grinch? Our event website builder is so simple, your heart might even grow three sizes.
No. Wi. Fi.
Onsite check-in doesn’t have to stop just because the Wi-Fi is spotty. Our new offline registration keeps things moving, even when the magic internet pixies aren’t.
Six event day walk-ins.
The more, the merrier, right? Our flexible onsite check-in means you can easily welcome any event day guest with holiday greetings and cheer.
Seven sloppy #hashtags.
Tired of people “oversharing” on social media? Our SocialWall is an impressive and – importantly – curated way to engage your attendees. So you can show off all those ugly sweater pics without fear of what gets posted once the eggnog’s gone.
Eight knotted cables.
What was that? I didn’t hear you. I just – ouch! – tripped over these blasted printer cables. I should have used Cvent’s Event in a Box for my onsite check-in. It’s clean, simple and convenient – and so much easier on the ankles.
Nine bored attendees.
No more dancing sugar plums for these attendees. They’ve got their mobile event app. With in-app messaging, presentation content and gamification, now they’re more engaged than ever!
Ten venue options.
An event on the North Pole? Sure, why not? The Cvent Supplier Network is the world’s largest selection of hotels and event venues – so you can find the venue that’s right for you, wherever you need to go.
Eleven untrained staffers.
Cvent’s onsite check-in options are so easy to use, anyone can pull off a flawless event.
Twelve agenda changes.
Wishing you checked that list a third time? Don’t worry! With a mobile event app from Cvent, you can send out real-time updates and notifications. Keep your guests up to speed without a last-minute trip to the printer. From all of us at Cvent, have a wonderful holiday season and a smashing 2018!
