Soo T.: Hi everyone. My name is Soo. I work for the Texas Propane and Gas Association. I'm the Managing Director for the Propane Services Corporation, and I would give Cvent Management a five. We chose to go with Cvent Management as we found it was the most comprehensive system. We did look at other systems like Splash, but we found that we didn't like the fact that we couldn't control our own images. There were certain aspects that they had to control. We had to go through them. So we really appreciated the fact that Cvent allowed us to customize the things that we needed to right then and there as opposed to going through another source and another source. We chose to use Cvent ultimately because of all the different facets. We liked the fact that you can manage your own merchant account. We liked the fact that you can have a website. The speaker function and the exhibitor resource panel was something that was really intriguing to us. We like the aspects that you can do passkey, as well as just organizing everything in one comprehensive cloud-based software. So for us, that was the biggest straw behind using Cvent. In the beginning, getting set up with Cvent was a little confusing. We weren't that tech friendly, but we found that Cvent support is phenomenal. It was really great and reassuring to know that we could give them a call at any hour of the time period, and they would help us out from A to B all the way to the very end and ensured that our event was launched successfully. There were no problems, and we found that, that's really one of the highest values of using Cvent. I would recommend using Cvent for any other company that is trying to get rid of different assets or aspects like Qualtrics. Cvent has a built-in survey system within it, reporting feature. For us at the state entity, we find that having Cvent really works well for our stakeholders, our director development, they really like to look at the big bird's eye view. So I would recommend if there's anyone who is stuck between different softwares that you consider using Cvent, because we have found that it makes our events significantly better and people engage and they really love the different aspects that our new websites have to offer.
