Hi Linda,
Happy to chip in. Cvent and many other event management systems
work as "containers" with the links to the actual sessions in Zoom
or any other videoconference platforms.
Do you know how many simultaneous sessions do they have planned?
That would be the amount of Zoom rooms open at the same time.
We've done this a couple of times.
If you go through this setup you'll need to have a tech host in
each simultaenous breakout session, in order to provide co-host
capabilities to the presenter, be the backup in case the presenter
doesn't show up or internet blackout, etc. A knowledgable tech
host who is just "opening" the room might be able to support two
breakout sessions if they have two computers, if not you'll need
someone there.
You'll need to look out for who's providing the Zoom
accounts/rooms so you can take it into consideration in your
budget.
I prefer better other platforms like Whova or Socio, much more
intuitive.
If you need more input you can drop me a message,

All - I just joined this group today.
I have a prospective client who is using CVENT
CrowdCompass and Online Event Guide as their conferencing
platform for a conference with 150+ people, 32 breakout sessions
plus 5 general sessions.? They had told me they were using Zoom
meetings as their platform, but I just learned they're using CVENT
CrowdCompass and Online Event Guide.? My client says: "Basically every time we bring up the Zoom integration
piece of the conference, CVENT throws their hands up and says
¡°oh that¡¯s Zoom only ¨C consult with them, not in our lane.¡±?
The project I'm talking them about is to coordinate all
the session moderators and be the go-to person for all the
moderator coordination and training/preparing their speakers.??
If they're having issues between CVENT and Zoom, I want to
be sure I know what to expect. I am very knowledgeable about Zoom
meetings with large 50-100 person groups.? But not CVENT?CrowdCompass
and Online Event Guide.? Does anyone have experience with this
specific set of platforms and can offer guidance or talk to me
about what to be aware of and watch out for??
I haven't confirmed that I will be submitting a proposal yet,
but I need to decide in the next day or so as the conference is
last week of October!? Yes - they just decided to hire this out.
Thanks.
Linda
