Event Management

This is a public group for questions and conversations around Event Management.

I'm using it for a small non-profit that will run fewer than 10 events annually. The "Pro" version costs $29 per month, billed annually at $348. That PAID  version does not include API access, so we can't connect to Salesforce via Zapier -- for the API, we need to upgrade to the "Enterprise" version, which costs $1000+ more per year. 

 

How crazy is that? Does anyone know what their cost could be for us to have access to the API?

    Yeah, that pricing bump for API access is pretty common with event platforms, unfortunately. If you only have a handful of events, you might look at free/cheaper tools that integrate with Salesforce like Eventbrite (via Zapier) or even native Campaigns + Web-to-Lead/Flow for signups. Might be worth asking EventCreate if they offer nonprofit discounts for Enterprise — some do if you ask directly.

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a good event management app that can specifically help plan a fundraising dinner. Don't need attendees to be able to pay through the app. Mainly need seating chart and table arrangement functions.

Thanks!

    For planning a fundraising dinner where seating arrangements are key, an app that focuses specifically on event layouts can save a lot of hassle. Some event management platforms allow visual table planning, guest grouping, and easy adjustments, which is perfect if ticketing or payments aren’t required. 

     

    Bright Sparks, while primarily a UK-based staffing agency for events and hospitality, also offers insights and support for organising events smoothly. Their team can help connect you with temporary event staff who understand seating logistics and guest flow. You can

    This approach works particularly well if the dinner involves multiple tables with assigned seating, ensuring guests are placed thoughtfully and service runs efficiently. Combining a dedicated seating app with professional support can make the evening run seamlessly.

Good day!

We just purchased Cvent and having sooo many issues with the Salesforce integration. Cvent recently released Cvent Salesforce App, which is different from the Salesforce Integration, which is becoming legacy. They're stopping development on the legacy integration. I've seen a few folks in Trailblazer/Power Of Us communities talking about Cvent pre-2020, but couldn't find anything recent. Does anyone have experience working - and setting up successfully! - a Salesforce integration using the new Cvent Salesforce App?

We've been working with Cvent Support for... 3 months now, and the sync still doesn't work.

Thank you in advance for your time!

Best,

Daria
