    Hello! I would be interested to know about High Eds using Cvent for events outside of development/alumni relations. What types of events - any educational programs, CEU/credit tracking, format (in-person, webinar, blended or hybrid), etc.? Thx!

    Hi Darlene, 

    We use Cvent for most everything that you have described - large conferences (multi-day, breakout sessions, etc.), event sponsorship, small meetings, educational seminars (in-person and hybrid), online course registration, software registration, and donor tracking for our program.  We also utilize the membership management and e-marketing modules for non-event activities.  I would be happy to connect further!

    Hello Darlene,

    Just to piggyback on Heather's reply, we use Cvent event management for our development events, continuing education, homecoming, alumni reunions, in-person, hybrid, and seminars. Our user groups have started using the Attendee Hub and OnArrival more and more as well. Some of our groups do use the e-marketing and membership modules too. Our events can range from 10 - 1500 registrants, just varies per event.

    Feel free to ask any follow up questions

    Good Morning Darlene,

    We use Cvent for every type of event ranging from board meetings, reunions, student send-offs, virtual faculty programs, social events, internal meetings, and our Forever Learning Institute (FLI)--which is an educational program aimed at our alumni whom are interested in continuing their learning after graduating. These FLI events are built as semester-long themes comprised of between 3-5 related sessions. They are open to the public and free of charge. However, our primary audience remains alumni. Here is an example:

    I love hearing about all of these ideas/topics/types of events that everyone is doing through Cvent. Thanks for asking the question, Darlene.

    P.S. --WE ARE!
