Cvent Flex makes building, designing, and managing event websites more intuitive and accessible for event planners and organizers

TYSONS, Va. & LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today at its annual customer conference Cvent CONNECT, Cvent, Inc.announced Cvent Flex, a modern and innovative way for event planners to build, design, and manage their event websites and registration process. Cvent Flex completely re-designs the way planners interact with a website design platform and the intuitive, flexible solution makes the website creation process effortless and enjoyable for planners who might not have a background, or extensive experience, in web design.

“We have been listening to planners to understand their needs and challenges for years and designed Cvent Flex, our largest technology investment to date, using the most advanced technology available today to exceed their expectations,” said Senior Product Management Director Brett Fitzgerald. “Combining broad functionality with ease-of-use, Cvent Flex greatly simplifies building, designing and managing event websites, making the process intuitive and providing planners with complete control over their event website, registration process and all attendee workflows. This reduces the time needed to launch events, enabling planners to reallocate time to other material projects that increase event ROI.”

Cvent 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: Cvent 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.

“The event website is often the first interaction attendees have with an event, long before they arrive onsite,” said David Quattrone, Chief Technology Officer for Cvent. “Ensuring that the site is easy-to-use, and aligns with the brand’s image, reflects well on the organization and the event, as well as informing and exciting the attendee.”

Cvent Flex is available now through an early adopter program, and will be made available to all Cvent customers over the course of the next year.
