Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Microsoft Internet Explorer
If you currently use IE9 or IE10, you should upgrade to version 11 or switch to a different browser as soon as possible. You will still be able to access Cvent with IE9 and IE10 but Cvent is no longer designing or developing new features optimized for it.
