We could manage to organize all of our festivals works inside Eventival. Our mistakes rate dropped by a considerable amount. It gave us the confidence to expand our festival into different fields and programmes.

Eventival is everything you'll need and everything you never thought you are going to need. Scheduling the screening has never been easier. Advanced search and customized exports give you thousands of options to fulfill your needs. Powerful email platform with hundreds of merge fields to integrate inside emails. The translation system for publications is well implemented. Advanced access permission for users. The logic behind Eventival as its backbone is notably great. Everything in Eventival is customizable. Best support I've ever seen. Moral attitude towards extra requests you will have in the future in terms of payment for your customizations.

The visitor page (user account for end users) is not responsive and mobile friendly. Might be a little bit expensive for small or non-profit organizations.

Once you learn to work with it, you can't imagine missing its functionalities.

It can do everything you want and more than you'll probably ever need from a festival management tool.

It has a high learning curve. Whenever you don't know where to find something or how to do something you better ask the support team through the very responsive support chat. You could spend days looking for something and never find it, since there are so many possibilities, tools and functions.

The overall experience is very positive! It is a blessing to search for a guest and have all the info about their arrival, departure, hotel and activities well organized. When you update the info / schedule, it automatically updates that info to all the involved guests agenda or warns you about overlap / unavailability issues. It's perfect! Also, that typo on a guest name? It is now on our website, app and guest info accreditation. Just correct it and it will automatially update on every site! No need to correct it in all the sites where it is written!

It is a great app to manage the 3 most detailed and complex areas of a film festival: - films and scheduling - guests - communication / information After all is set up, guests, films and its info are all connected and makes it easy to manage all the info related to these areas, especially when it comes to crossed information.

The learning process is slow and not immediate, interface is not organized in the best user friendly way. It is a bit difficutl to get used to the software.

We’ve been using Eventival since 2015 and couldn't have made a better choice. Eventival allows us to contact our network (alumni, decision makers, partners, etc.), receive and assess applications for our programmes, and share information about our upcoming workshops with participants. Our Hospitality Office uses the Guest Services module to send and monitor invitations to our events. Finally, Eventival is synchronised with the TFL website: we can publish the lists of selected participants or information about projects and films by retrieving the information directly from their Eventival record.

Although we are not a festival but a training organisation with a co-production market, we could easily customise its features to our needs. With Eventival we are able to comprehensively manage all our activities: from the application process (project submissions, reviews, selection phases) to the organisation of hospitality ; from targeted mailings to invitations to events. Eventival's flexible and easily customisable features can be adapted to suit a wide rage of specific needs: for example, we have recently implemented a way to track the progress of our projects which helps us monitor their development status. Eventival's staff and support are also fantastic: fast, efficient and always ready to listen to your needs.

Most of our staff have been working with Eventival for many years so we are used to it but I can imagine it can be daunting at first for someone starting out. The training offered by the Eventival team is much appreciated and useful. Also for refreshing and/or learning newly implemented features.

The LET‘S CEE Film Festival is one of the fastest growing festivals in Austria, with 162 films, nearly 400 screenings and around 150 film guests only during the last edition. We somehow managed the first editions with a lot of Excel sheets, emails, phone calls and meetings, but immediately after implementing Eventival we experienced the huge difference in the speed and clarity of our workflow. For a long perspective you simply need a good tool to make your and your team’s life easier. Not to mention the tireless efforts of [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and his team to keep their customers well informed and connect them with each other during several festivals they attend. Conclusion: With Eventival we have found not only an effective, reliable and proved festival software but also new festival friends. After three years of using Eventival we cannot live without it!

We really appreciate using Eventival in our daily work, and the fact that it helps us saving time, nerves and money. Thanks to the fact that it combines all needed futures in one software, we have implemented it so far in several teams, like the guest management team (where Eventival helped us improving contacts with our guests, while providing them with information on a regular base without writing thousands of individual emails); the film programming team (starting with collecting of submissions till quick, easy and error-free scheduling of screenings and events incl. individual plans for location managers, guests and moderators); the event team (where the easy and clear invitation process for the opening and award ceremony makes us every time feel sure that we haven’t forgotten anyone and the room will be full) and the accreditation team (where we even were able to collect handling fee through the Eventival!). We appreciate the fact that the software has been constantly developed and enhanced with new functions, while on the other side it can be easily adapted to individual needs of every event organiser. Last but not least we would like to mention the exceedingly friendly, enthusiastic and patient support team which makes you feel very safe in every matter.

So far, we haven’t found any but we have an advice: Be sure to invest enough time and energy in a proper training. Once you understand how the software works, using it will be very simple. In case you have the chance to be trained in Prague at the Eventival office – go for it, it will bring you both, a lot of knowledge and fun.
