They are very responsive and patient. The training is also excellent. The ability to have Customer Success Manager is invaluable. Cons It is too early to tell. I have only used it for a few weeks at this point. I will need to use if longer to be able to fully answer this question. Review Source R Reviewer CEO Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Absolute Best Event Management Tool on the Internet" February 14, 2026 5.0 In every way, my overall experience with using Accelevents for event management is overwhelmingly positive. You get great value for money, there are virtually no real bugs and issues and were there are, they jump into fix all issues very quickly. Attendees enjoy a secure environment and love the experience. Pros Hard to find something I don't like. The Platform itself is very intuitive, the flow very logical and easy to follow. The customer support is unparalleled and the attendee experience is always positive. We use it for a virtual conference held annually. Cons Really nothing. Maybe the worst thing about Accelevents is that I only get a chance to use it once a year for our annual conference and then not again until the following year. Review Source R Reviewer VP Digital Experience Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Administrator & User Friendly" September 15, 2023 5.0 Pros I've used Accelevents to host virtual events for 3 years in a row. The product is straightforward for event administrators. It gives you the right control to design your event while providing a good interface for attendees. We have been very pleased with the ease-of-use for our attendees too. The 100% browser-based delivery means no downloads for attendees. Our event attendees have continually rated Accelevents very high in our post-event attendee survey. Their support team is fast, and the knowledge base website has answers to most questions. Cons The gamification aspect could be improved in the platform. It's not bad, but it could be better. Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Less than intuitive interface and documentation" October 26, 2020 1.0 Awful. Pros I liked the idea of being able to have a live exhibit area. Cons Administrators still had to be designated as speakers to have functionality in that session. Weird to have to register speakers as attendees to be able to see other sessions. We offered to pay money to have an Accelevents person facilitate the event or train us beyond their not-so-helpful documentation and training events. They refused, saying we were too small without even quoting us a price. Live chat support sends you back to the documentation. We finally gave up a week before the event and went elsewhere because we couldn't guarantee we could provide a good experience for attendees. Review Source R Reviewer Co-Chair, Event Coordinator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Options and Flexibility-Accelevents Offers it ALL" July 17, 2025 5.0 We've used the platform for our hybrid conference and appreciate being able to present our in-person conference almost in total via the virtual platform. That allows greater reach for our event Pros We appreciate the flexibility of the platform and being able to schedule multiple sessions during the same time slot Cons Nothing really. Sometimes the technical assistance might be slow when an issue arises during a workshop Review Source CO Corey O. Director, Marketing and Event Production II Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Definitely would recommend :)" June 29, 2025 5.0 Before using Accelevents, we used to preprint everyone’s badges which made check in a nightmare for our staff and attendees. Accelevents has completely streamlined the experience for us. The platform itself is so easy to use and it has helped to clean up the data from our events. Pros 1.Ease of use – the website is super easy to navigate and each area is very clear how to set up. Even the landing page.. for someone with no web experience I was able to design our landing page to fit our needs. 2.Registration form – it is completely customizable, so you are able to capture the information that you need for each attendee. You can also set up traffic links within the platform to easily track where your attendees are coming from. 3.Speaker / Sponsor organization – it is easy for our speakers / sponsors to go in and update their information and now you can assign them tasks for items they need to complete. 4.Onsite check in – as mentioned above the onsite check in and badge printing is super seamless. And attendees who didn’t register ahead of the event can register onsite. And you can easily pull reports and post event and get real time updates of attendance. a.You can also update the badge design in the platform which is super easy. 5.Mobile app – there is a mobile app option that allows attendees to keep track of the event and important information, you can also set up push notifications as well to make sure they are notified of important things happening. Only slight challenge is getting attendees to initially download the app. 6.Communication – their team and our account rep are always super responsive and answer any questions we have had along the way. Cons 5.The onsite equipment and badge cost is separate than the cost of the platform. They use a third party vendor to supply. They have been really great to work with and no issues with them, but something to note if you plan on using their services. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Good Program and Great Support Team" July 14, 2025 5.0 Easy to use and you can pick up on things easily. If any issues come up, they are usually solved almost immediately. Pros It's generally easy to use and has a lot of features. They also have a wonderful support team that's quick and knowledgeable. Cons There are some features that are still a little difficult to work around. For instance, you can't order the speakers automatically by last name. But you can drag them around, as needed. Review Source Paula M. Program Operations Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Accelevents - YES!" August 28, 2025 5.0 Pros The access to customer service and the ease of use is what I enjoy. Accelevents it's a great one stop shop platform Cons The many changes in the layout and an update is somewhat provided however not in-depth. Would love a detailed update. Review Source R Reviewer Operations Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Very happy with this app choice!" June 12, 2025 5.0 So far, it's been very positive! From the sales call with \[sensitive content hidden\], to the onboarding with \[sensitive content hidden\], and the many people ( \[sensitive content hidden\], and the engineering team) that have helped us, we have felt very heard and that we are valued as a customer! Pros So far, it has been a very easy product to learn and to teach. When we make changes, they are reflected immediately, there is no lag time. The Accelevents team is EXTREMELY responsive and helpful! It's probably one of the quickest response times from a vendor I've ever seen. Cons There are a few small things that could improve the overall user experience that we have recommended. If they are implemented, the quality of the product would increase significantly! Review Source KJ K J. President and Executive Director Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Accelevents Review" March 26, 2025 5.0 Overall, we wanted a professional platform, which Accelevents provided It is expensive and takes at least 2 weeks to organize the event, but it is very nice once everything is done. Pros It allows our event to appear polished and professional. This was our second event, and we learned more as we went. The Help Desk is The Best! Even though it is probably more AI-driven than I know, I would like to think that they really are that kind, patient, and knowledgeable. \[sensitive content hidden\] was truly amazing! And, all of the others too! In the thousands of questions I've asked, I've only had one who just referred me to the manual without walking me through the issue. I think adding screenshots WITH RED ARROWS is so smart! I don't remember them from last year. Cons There are so many options, we only choose the "basics" that we need, because even that is a lot to cover for only 1 person. It would be helpful if the Virtual, Hybrid, and Live event platforms were separate and offered a more basic plan, without so many options (like ticket types) and, have a "checklist" to confirm all of the buttons are clicked that should be. --The manuals are burdensome. I found that if I just Googled "Accelevents how can I..." it was so much easier, as it usually just linked that part of the manual, so I didn't need to search it. Even though I remember thinking that some of the info was outdated. Some buttons may not be where they used to be? --We are a small non-profit, so Accelevents is a considerable expense for us, even with the massive discount. It could be more manageable if the plan were less expensive and many of the options were add-ons. Also, the $250/hr for a dedicated event person is definitely not possible but thankfully the help desk assisted when needed!-- We thought we would begin to use it for Webinars, but I don't have the time it would take to learn how to do a live event and organize it all. We will need to rethink using it again.-- It's unfortunate that when one duplicates the event, you must recreate so much to check everything, specifically, the transitions between the sessions and the waiting media. And, since our videos were coming from YouTube, they don't come in at all so you can't check if the link is correct-- Review Source R Reviewer Director, Advancement Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "This is who you want to use!" July 17, 2025 5.0 I have used Accelevents for the last six years and have never once questioned using them for the next year. I can't imagine using any other site. Pros The user-friendly auction site - and the quick response to any questions that I had - is a game changer. I only create an auction once a year and if I have forgotten anything from the previous year, the Accelevents staff is always there with a fast & perfect response. And, they are so friendly! Cons I really cannot think of anything. I have had some trouble sizing auction site photos, but I truly believe that is a me problem and not on the Accelevents side. Review Source R Reviewer Program Director Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Be awesome with Accelevents!" January 7, 2025 5.0 Overall using Accelevents has been a great experience. Pros Accelerants makes managing a nonprofit simple! It stream lines our work and is easy to navigate. Cons I have no complaints currently about Accelevents. Review Source R Reviewer Meetings and Events Manager Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Platform Review for Virtual Conference" August 24, 2023 4.0 Accelevents is an amazing virtual platform for hosting multi-day conference. It's easy to use as the admin/organizer and easy for attendees to navigate when participating on the platform. Pros 1\. Platform layout- from attendees' view is easy to use. 2. Registration- creating the registration form, testing and dispatching was easy3. Speaker session- creating speaker sessions was easy to use4. Accelevents team- everyone was super helpful, responsive, and friendly5. Accelevents DES- having DES to assist with all the work prior to event start date and on event days was amazing and much needed Cons 1\. Speaker name tag on screen- when presenters are live in their session, their name doesn't appear on their window for attendees to identify the speakers on main stage2. Live stream lag time - major lag time from backstage to front stage3. Live stream screen sharing video- there was a major glitch when trying to screen share a video file in a main session4. Speaker background- doesn't have an option for speakers to choose or blur their background Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director, Partnership Relations Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "A great event tool!" August 24, 2023 5.0 The experience has been great. From demo to implementation, they answered my many questions and provided amazing support throughout. This was a game changer for our events. Pros I loved the easy to use features and the ease of use for attendees was amazing. It gave us an opportunity to move all of our event tech into one place which made it easier for us as admins and for the attendee. A really great platform that has worked well for us and met all of our needs. Cons I have no negatives. They were very up front and transparent with pricing and in addressing my needs, which was great. Review Source Joanne A. Constituent Relations Coordinator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "User-friendly, low-cost auction software" May 14, 2020 5.0 Overall experience has been great. Unlimited auction items with descriptions and images, easy online and text bidding, low cost, and all items, bidding history, and winners can be downloaded in a spreadsheet. Plus, Customer Service here can’t be beat. Pros Accelevents Auction Software is very easy to use and navigate. Our school has been using it for 4 years now. Unlimited number of items can be uploaded and there is an option to include multiple images of the item, indicate its value, number of units available, and whether it’s a Live item. If you have the same items from year to year, you can move them over from your previous events to the new event. Ticketing, Fund-A-Need, Raffle, and Text-To-Give modules are also available. You only pay for what you need. The customer service is here incredible---you ask a question in the chat and within a couple of minutes, you receive a response! No matter what time of day you ask (weekend, too)! The first year we used the software, we had a couple of glitches during the event, but I went on the chat and within minutes, it was all taken care of (and this at 9:30 at night). That’s what sold me to return. Cons There aren’t really any cons---except with the automatic save. You need to remember to refresh your page to make sure that changes you made were actually saved. Sometimes, it looks like it’s saved but isn’t. I think this happens more as your list of auction items grow. Review Source R Reviewer Owner/Creative Director Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Easy to use, easy to recommend" November 9, 2020 4.0 It was great - have used it on multiple projects. Pros I offer consulting and marketing to services to small nonprofits and local businesses in the Boone, NC area. With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing many fundraisers to go virtual, I have been hired to help a few organizations navigate through the challenge of transitioning to a digital event in a short amount of time. I recommended & used Accelevents for my first contract and have continued to recommend it to additional organizations. The ease of use on the back end and the absolutely simple and inviting user-interface has made this platform a large part of the success of these events, raising much-needed funds for our local nonprofits. The most recent virtual fundraiser I worked on raised DOUBLE the amount expected, in no small part due to the bidder's quick and easy access to viewing the items up for bid. I've seen other events where you have to jump through hoops to register (or enter a CC#) prior to viewing and the turnout has been poor because of it. Thanks, Accelevents! Cons I found the effort needed to reorder items up for bid a little slow and clunky. I also am interested in personalizing/adding to the receipt that is sent to bidders immediately after the auction (maybe I just didn't see it?). I would like to communicate post-auction instructions about item pick up, etc. along with their payment link, etc. Review Source Anthony A. Producer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Accelevents has what I need for a complete virtual event" December 13, 2022 5.0 Very positive. Support is really great and puts other virtual event platforms that I've worked with to shame. Pros It has the right features. I don't want to pay for a bunch of features that I won't use. Cons There's not really anything that I dislike. Review Source R Reviewer Committee Chair Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "A-MA-FREAKING-ZING" February 14, 2018 5.0 the amazing immediate reply with in 30 seconds of asking any question Pros This software is so easy to use. JUST WHEN YOU THINK you need to have this software needs a function that doesn't exist you ask CUST SUPPORT in a panic how in the world you will possibly make it work they are 5 million steps ahead of you. Not only that but within 5 seconds they reply with a warm stress free reply that reassures you that your event that you spent countless hours on is going to be the most amazing and successful event that could have possibly existed for your cause. I AM NOT A TECH SAVY PERSON! BORN IN THE MILLENNIAL GENERATION I STUCK AT COMPUTERS! but they have made it beyond easy! My second year happy to plan this even thanks to these guys! Cons the only thing i don't like about this software program is that they don't have the outreach that other auction softwares have that they send out technical help for the actual event to make the event smooth as possible. Even though they are there to help at every second through the site i can only imagine the absolute craziness if the top notch service was right in front of you Review Source Verified Reviewer Founder, COO Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great value proposition" November 28, 2018 4.0 Instead of cancelling a time consuming, expensive in-person auction, we moved to an online solution and saw a greater profit, with less work and less expenses. Pros We looked at several auction systems for an annual charity auction to move it from a physical auction to a fully online auction. After looking at about 5-6 competitors, Accelevents seemed to be the most reasonably priced and easy to use software. A lot of other systems require a monthly subscription which is not reasonable for small organizations. Cons Some of the features are not completely obvious, and maybe the help articles could be a little more developed, but help was always available, prompt and patient. Review Source R Reviewer Development Associate Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Accelevents Review" July 31, 2019 4.0 Was okay, but will probably not use again Pros If you are looking for a simple website to host a small silent auction that doesn't cost very much, I think this is a good website. Cons It is very basic. We picked it because it was the cheapest option for our fundraiser. If we had more bidders and auction items, I think this website wouldn't have worked. Basic software. Review Source SJ Summer J. Executive Director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great Mobile Silent Auction Platform & Quick Customer Service Responce" September 7, 2018 4.0 Pros Faster and more efficient with the the mobile bidding app, Easy to showcase and present items with descriptive information allowing bidders to completely understand what exactly they were bidding on. Quick customer service when we had any question that needed answered, along with being understand and truly caring about help us find a solution, and not be over looked VERY AFFORDABLE!! Cons When in the Auction Table cannot organize items in alphabetical order, Bidder in the mobile app were getting confused when to put in there names and bid amount. Review Source KB Kellie B. Foundation Representative Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Accelevents keeps improving to help your project improve!" February 11, 2020 5.0 Pros We used this software last year for a car raffle and were very anxious about the project and the software. However, the Accelevent team walked us though all the steps in a timely manner and software was very easy to navigate. This year they added an app that has made offsite sales easy. They also added more staff to assist with questions and an automatic email with the question and answer so it can be referenced again. Just yesterday they updated the tool bar to work better....always improving! Cons Graphic manipulations in the website building. Review Source Jahnavi B. PTA Volunteer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Perfect for Small/Mid Size Auction" February 1, 2019 5.0 We are an elementary school PTA that has a silent auction with 100 items once a year. Accelevents was perfect for us! The 1st time I used it was the 1st time we put the auction online--raising 33% more funds than in previous "bid on paper" years. Thank you for making our auction a big success! Pros This software is so easy to use--very intuitive, not too many features, but it has the right ones. Customer support is great--in chat or email with quick simple responses! Low cost--we raised $8000 and were able to keep most of it last year. Integration for payment was awesome! Cons We have multiple items in our auction that are the same (parking spots)--would be nice to list it on time and give the 3 spots to the 3 highest bidders. Small feature that's definitely not critical -- but a nice add on. Review Source Alicia H. Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Can't Wait to Use Accelevents Again!" November 6, 2020 5.0 While I've been planning events for more than 15 years, this was the first time I planned a virtual event, let alone a day long conference. We chose Accelevents and never looked back. The platform fulfilled all of our needs. The customer service was outstanding - \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] were top notch every step of the way. Thanks for helping to make our event a huge success! Pros We picked Accelevents for the video chat function as our event had a heavy emphasis on networking. It worked wonderfully for what we needed. Cons Having to set up Sponsors and Exhibitors separately - all of our Sponsors were Exhibitors as well, tho I understand the reasoning for this. Review Source R Reviewer Public Relations & Development Coordinator Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great Product for First Timers" June 20, 2019 5.0 Pros As a first-time user of this software, I highly recommend anyone looking to move their auction online. This was the first time our organization moved it online and it could not have been easier!! The set up was simple and easy to comprehend, and customer service was superb! I could message them at any time and they would typically answer within minutes -- even the day of our event! I also liked how you can pick and choose which features you want to use. Cons My only suggestions would be: 1.) I had difficulty printing some of your how-to articles. I would suggest making them available in PDF version so they are easier to print. When I reached out for help, I received the response "they're made for online reading only" 2.) I had difficulty uploading a photo for the banner on our event page. I would suggest looking into this.
