Cadmium vs. Momentive: Which Event Management Software (EMS) Is Right for Your Association?
Choosing event management software (EMS) is a major decision, especially for associations and mission-driven organizations that run complex events year-round. While many platforms offer foundational event tools, not all are built to handle the complexity of large programs, in-person and virtual execution, and personalized attendee engagement.
In this guide, we compare Cadmium’s EMS Eventscribe with Momentive’s event management software to help you understand the key differences and choose the right solution for your event goals.
Eventscribe: Built for Associations
Eventscribe is purpose-built for association events and complex conferences. It supports the full event cycle, helping teams manage planning, execution, and reporting in one streamlined system.
Eventscribe is designed for organizations that need:
- Flexible tools for multi-day, multi-track programs.
- Strong session and speaker management.
- A seamless attendee experience supported by a dedicated mobile app.
- Reliable support for in-person execution and day-of operations.
- Event reporting and analytics that help teams prove success and improve.
In addition to its registration and schedules, Eventscribe supports key association workflows like abstract submissions and reviews, exhibitor and sponsor management, and robust management tools like livestreaming, ePosters, quizzes, evaluations, and more.
Why Event Professionals Choose Cadmium Over Momentive
Momentive positions its event management software as a way to simplify event planning and execution, but when event complexity increases, it falls short. Many teams choose Eventscribe because it is designed specifically for event professionals managing complex, high-stakes programs.
Built for complex conferences, not basic workflows
Associations often manage hundreds of speaker sessions, multiple speaker types, sponsor and exhibitor involvement, and frequent program changes. Eventscribe is built to support these realities without forcing teams into workarounds. It is designed for the full operational complexity of association events that include detailed logistics, content management, and program delivery.
Stronger in-person and mobile experience
In-person execution is where many event platforms fall short. Eventscribe supports day-of success with tools and workflows designed for smooth check-in, schedule updates, and attendee engagement. Eventscribe’s dedicated mobile app supports personalized schedules, session discovery, speaker & exhibitor details, and interactive engagement tools that keep attendees connected throughout the event.
Better reporting for event teams
Eventscribe provides event-focused reporting and analytics that go beyond team attendance totals. Teams can better understand engagement patterns and session performance so they can focus on optimizing their future events. Momentive also offers some event insights, but Eventscribe delivers deeper operational reporting across the full event lifecycle. This helps teams measure performance and demonstrate meaningful ROI to stakeholders.
A cohesive event and learning experience
Eventscribe is part of Cadmium’s complete suite of event and learning tools designed to support associations year-round. In addition to in-person event management solutions like livestreaming and Speaker Ready Room, which offers speakers a dedicated space to practice and prepare their presentations, Eventscribe integrates with Cadmium’s Learning Management Systems for a more connected member experience. Together, these tools empower associations to create seamless programs that drive engagement and long-term value.
Choose the Right EMS for Event Success
If you are running association events and want a platform that scales with your programs, supports in-person operations, and improves attendee engagement, Eventscribe is the best long-term choice.
