Yes — for conference teams handling speakers, exhibitors, session schedules, and multiple venues, you’ll usually want a stack that covers:

  • agenda/session management
  • speaker/exhibitor coordination
  • attendee registration
  • floorplan and venue ops
  • mobile app / onsite updates
  • task and team collaboration

Here are strong options by fit:

Best all-around conference platforms

1. Cvent

Best for: Large conferences and enterprise event teams
Why it stands out:

  • Strong registration + agenda + speaker management
  • Exhibitor tools and sponsor management
  • Mobile event app
  • Venue sourcing, event logistics, and reporting
  • Good for complex, multi-track, multi-venue events

Pros: Very robust, scalable, widely adopted
Cons: Can be expensive and a bit heavy to implement


2. Bizzabo

Best for: Modern conference teams wanting polished attendee and speaker experiences
Why it stands out:

  • Conference agenda and speaker workflows
  • Exhibitor and sponsor visibility
  • Event app and attendee engagement features
  • Good analytics and branding
  • Strong for hybrid and in-person conferences

Pros: User-friendly, strong UX
Cons: Some advanced ops features may require integrations


3. EventMobi

Best for: Conferences with strong mobile/onsite needs
Why it stands out:

  • Easy session scheduling and agenda updates
  • Speaker management
  • Exhibitor lead capture and booth tools
  • Mobile app is a key strength
  • Good for multiple venues and live schedule changes

Pros: Flexible, good mobile experience
Cons: Less full-suite than Cvent for very large enterprises


Best for operations-heavy teams

4. Monday.com / Asana / ClickUp with event templates

Best for: Operational coordination across staff, vendors, speakers, and venue teams
Why it stands out:

  • Task ownership, approvals, deadlines, and dependencies
  • Custom workflows for speaker confirmation, AV needs, booth logistics, and venue checklists
  • Easy cross-team collaboration

Pros: Great for internal operations
Cons: Not a true conference registration/agenda platform by itself

Recommendation: Use alongside Cvent/Bizzabo/EventMobi rather than instead of them.


Best for exhibitor and floorplan workflows

5. ExpoPlatform

Best for: Exhibitor-heavy conferences and trade shows
Why it stands out:

  • Exhibitor portals and matchmaking
  • Sponsorship management
  • Floorplan/booth visibility
  • Session and attendee engagement tools

Pros: Strong for expo-centric events
Cons: Less suited if your event is more speaker/session-driven than trade-show-driven


Best for smaller-to-mid-size conference teams

6. Whova

Best for: Smaller teams needing a practical all-in-one tool
Why it stands out:

  • Agenda and session scheduling
  • Speaker profiles
  • Exhibitor listings
  • Attendee networking
  • Easy-to-use event app

Pros: Fast setup, good value
Cons: Less powerful for deep enterprise ops and complex venue logistics


My quick recommendations by scenario

  • Large, complex conference with many venues: Cvent
  • Modern conference experience with strong UX: Bizzabo
  • Mobile-first onsite coordination: EventMobi
  • Trade-show/exhibitor-heavy event: ExpoPlatform
  • Smaller team needing simplicity: Whova
  • Internal ops/workflow management: Asana, Monday.com, or ClickUp

A practical software stack

For most conference teams, a good stack looks like:

  • Core event platform: Cvent or Bizzabo
  • Internal operations: Asana / Monday.com / ClickUp
  • Venue diagrams / floor plans: Cvent or an integrated floorplan tool
  • Comms: Slack + shared docs
  • File hub: Google Drive / SharePoint
  • Onsite scanning/app: built into the event platform

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a side-by-side comparison table,
  2. recommendations by budget, or
  3. a best stack for 1,000+ attendee conferences.
