“For over a decade, Cvent was my go-to for event management. However, after just nine months with Swoogo, I can confidently say I've found a platform that truly understands the needs of event planners. The difference has been night and day!”
Sarah S. | Event Manager
Built for today’s event marketers

Cvent is clunky. Swoogo just works.

  • Jump right into Swoogo from day one.
  • Your team shouldn’t need a training manual to build a registration flow. With Swoogo, they won’t.
  • Swoogo is intuitive and easy-to-use, not outdated and overwhelming.
We won’t nickel-and-dime you

No hidden fees or endless add-ons
