Blackthorn Events vs. Guidebook

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.

Guidebook is a versatile, no-code mobile app and web platform designed to facilitate the management and enhancement of events, conferences, associations, campuses, and enterprises. This solution empowers organizations to create customized and branded experiences for iOS, Android, and web users with an intuitive drag-and-drop builder, eliminating the need for extensive IT resources. By simplifying the app development process, Guidebook enables users to focus on delivering impactful events rather than getting bogged down by technical challenges.
