Top tools for managing event logistics?

Event logistics are always the messy part — coordinating venues, vendors, schedules, AV, catering, staff, and a hundred moving pieces. I’ve been digging into platforms that actually help manage logistics end-to-end instead of just tracking tasks in a spreadsheet.

From G2’s grid, here are some of the top options:

• monday Work Management: Flexible enough to build logistics workflows (vendor tracking, timelines, budgets) with dashboards that make it easy to see where things stand.
• ClickUp: Similar flexibility, with custom fields and task dependencies that can map out everything from shipping to day-of schedules.
• Cvent Event Marketing & Management: Built specifically for events, with strong vendor management, venue sourcing, and scheduling tools.
• Tripleseat: Perfect for venue-focused events — handles proposals, contracts, and vendor coordination in one place.
• Whova: More attendee-facing, but also helps streamline scheduling, staff comms, and vendor coordination.
• Wrike: Solid project management with automation and reporting to keep large teams aligned on logistics tasks.
• vFairs: Great if you’re running virtual/hybrid events, managing booth setup, sessions, and partner logistics online.

Other platforms I see mentioned a lot in event planning circles are Bizzabo, Eventbrite, and Smartsheet. For those of you managing events, which tools actually help tame the logistics chaos vs. just giving you another dashboard to update?
