Cvent is a webinars & events tool for Enterprise and Agencies, offered as paid. Based in United States, founded in 1999. Popular alternatives include BigMarker, Airmeet, Livestorm.

About Cvent

Cvent is an event management and hospitality technology company founded in 1999 by Reggie Aggarwal and headquartered in Tysons, Virginia. Blackstone acquired it in 2023 for about $4.6 billion. Its core job: run an organisation's whole event program, from venue sourcing and registration to the onsite badge printer and post-event reporting.

The platform is a suite of modules: registration and event marketing, the Cvent Supplier Network for venue sourcing, Passkey for hotel room blocks, abstract and speaker management, mobile event apps, Attendee Hub for virtual and hybrid engagement, OnArrival check-in and badging, lead capture for exhibitors, webinars, surveys and event video. Prices are by quote: a Professional license covers only the modules you pick, Enterprise bundles registration, Attendee Hub and OnArrival with SSO and API access, and in some countries a pay-as-you-go option lets you build an event free and pay per registration.

Cvent fits enterprises, associations and agencies running many events a year that need Salesforce or Marketo sync, approvals and budgets in one system. It is expensive, implementation takes weeks, and smaller teams find it heavy. Eventbrite is far simpler for ticketed public events, Airmeet and Livestorm cover virtual events and webinars for less, and Zoom Events suits teams already standardised on Zoom.

Cvent closed its roughly $400 million all-cash acquisition of webinar platform ON24 on April 1, 2026, after buying AI video platform Goldcast in late 2025, so webinars now weigh more in the suite.
