Universal Appointments Overview

Cvent's Universal Appointments feature gives you the ability to pre-book meetings with customers and prospects at the events you attend. By using trade show appointments, you can also prepare executives and staff for crucial one-to-one conversations.

Pre-book meetings with customers & prospects

Universal Appointments allows you to set meetings with customers and prospects before you leave to attend a trade show, regardless of what technology the show organiser may be using. By pre-scheduling appointments, you will reduce no shows and increase engagement with valuable customers and prospects.

Universal Appointments Scheduler

Maximise your time on the trade show floor

How much time your organisation’s employees spend at your booth directly impacts how many leads you can generate from the events you attend. During pre-show planning, quickly view everyone’s commitments and available time slots to help prevent double-bookings as you plan a master schedule. Once they are on-site, your booth staff can also quickly add appointments for walk-ups.
