"This groundbreaking effort," Quattrone continued, "which we refer to as Project Flex, completely revolutionizes the way event professionals and marketers design their websites and hands nearly all of the controls back to them so they can create a website that reflects the originality and excitement of their unique events. As one of the first touch-points event professionals have with their attendees, the registration website needs to deliver an engaging experience that makes a lasting impression, and our new user experience makes that a reality – without the added complications that are typically inherent with web design. We are thrilled to bring this tool to our tens of thousands of customers worldwide.”
Project Flex simplifies the website creation experience in the following areas:
Build: The widget-based, drag and drop interface makes it easy to generate and place content, with all the necessary tools in one place. Live preview functionality eliminates the guesswork and provides constant visual feedback as the planner builds the website.
Design: Planners now have more freedom to create event sites that match their brand and image. The site designer lets planners easily change any styling element, including typography, borders, backgrounds, and more.
Registration Management: With full control over the registration process, planners can customize the registration path based on their business or industry needs. Registration can be as simple as a one-page form, or it can be built to accommodate multiple attendee types and profiles.
Experience: Project Flex builds on extensive user research to provide both the planner and the event attendee with an enjoyable experience, whether creating the site on the back-end or navigating the attendee-facing event site.

A key component in this commitment is "Project Flex." David Quattrone, Co-Founder, and CTO at Cvent explained the scope of this next generation user experience for websites and online registration. “For years, building event websites has been a major pain point in the industry. Design tools on the market were cumbersome, the custom capabilities were minimal, and the result was often a boring, cookie-cutter design that didn’t properly showcase the event that it was supposed to be promoting."
