Blackthorn Events vs. Gable

If running an event means filing a request every time you need a new ticket type, session, or form, you’re not alone. Most event platforms make you choose: capable but hard to learn, or easy to use but outside your CRM, with data that sometimes syncs back in. Blackthorn Events is the event management platform that runs natively in Salesforce. And now it’s built for the person running the event. Meet Forge Forge is Blackthorn’s web-based workspace for building and running events end to end. Work in your browser, without learning Salesforce screens or waiting in an admin queue.

Gable is a workplace management platform that helps HR, workplace, facilities, and operations teams coordinate in-person work, manage office and on-demand spaces, and make data-driven real estate decisions across hybrid and distributed workforce environments. The platform consolidates desk and room booking, on-demand workspace access, corporate event management, visitor management, and space utilization analytics into a single system. It is used by companies that operate hybrid work policies and need visibility into how employees use office and flex spaces across multiple locations.
