Social Tables

Social Tables was a global SaaS collaborative web-based event planning platform[1] headquartered in Washington, DC. It was founded in 2011 by Dan Berger[1] and Matthew Tendler.[2] It claimed to “inspire face-to-face experiences by empowering those who plan and attend them,”[3] The technology included three-dimensional floor plans where host venues and event organizers could build rooms to position items needed for the event at hand.[4]

Social Tables at one time had 120 employees[5] and 5,500 customers in 100 countries.[1] Over 4.5 million events were planned inside the Social Tables event technology.[6] Major clients included Intercontinental Hotels Group,[7] Hyatt Hotels, and Goldman Sachs.[4]

Social Tables was acquired by Cvent in 2018.[8]

History

Social Tables raised $8M in a Series A funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Thayer Ventures,[4] and $13MM in a Series B funding round led by QuestMark Partners.

Social Tables was acquired by Cvent for $100m on October 16, 2018.[8]
