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. Set up a new event or clone one that already worked, then manage sessions, speakers, sponsors, staff, tickets, registration forms, attendees, scheduled emails, budget, and reporting from one place. Event pages that look like your brand Page Designer, built into Forge, lets you drag and drop to build your event page. No CSS and no developer. Sessions, speakers, and tickets pull in automatically and stay current as your event changes. Theme presets, custom fonts, translations, a responsive preview, and a built-in accessibility scanner help you publish a page that’s on-brand and accessible in one pass. Your data never leaves Salesforce Here’s what makes Blackthorn different under the hood. Every registration, payment, and check-in is a Salesforce record from the moment it’s created. No middleware, no export, and no sync job can fail. You sign in to Forge with Salesforce, and your org’s permissions and sharing rules still apply, so your admin keeps control while you run the event. Everything else you can count on - Registration for free and paid events, from small webinars to multi-day conferences - Secure attendee checkout through Blackthorn Payments, including credit card and ACH - Mobile check-in with QR code scanning and badge printing - Email and SMS to registrants and attendees, tracked on each contact record - 40+ prebuilt reports and dashboards to prove event ROI with data leadership already trusts "Using Page Designer feels like switching from a PC to a Mac. It’s beautiful, it’s intuitive, and we were able to jump right in without needing someone to walk us through it." Charlotte Strickler, Director, Special Events Strategy, Purdue for Life Foundation Blackthorn was named Salesforce.org ISV Partner of the Year for Education (EMEA and AMER). Forge is included with Blackthorn Events; no separate purchase required. Good software doesn’t need a manual. Now Blackthorn’s doesn’t either. - **4** discussions - · **50%** answered - · **6** participants ![Blackthorn Events](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/product/image/large_detail/large_detail_84b95b5546dd9b46247bfbc7a6cc2e4f/blackthorn-events.png "Blackthorn Events") Blackthorn Events Discussions Most CommentedMost HelpfulCommon QuestionsNewest Showing **4** discussions ![Pinned by G2 as a common question](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Pinned by G2 as a common question") G2 Pinned by G2 as a common question • almost 2 years ago More Options - Share [![linkedin](/assets/social-logos/linkedin-afe65e46604a5bd5105ab9c856116204040b6b3f2b2d42562fc8071ca0c48ca0.svg "linkedin")](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&summary=How+has+Blackthorn+Events+improved+your+event+management%2C+and+what+features+do+you+find+most+useful%3F&title=How+has+Blackthorn+Events+improved+your+event+management%2C+and+what+features+do+you+find+most+useful%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fhow-has-blackthorn-events-improved-your-event-management-and-what-features-do-you-find-most-useful) [![twitter](/assets/social-logos/twitter-61aaec80434c71387b8f7326e480592eae71c0a65afd051d66fce9b75a9bf417.svg "twitter")](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=How+has+Blackthorn+Events+improved+your+event+management%2C+and+what+features+do+you+find+most+useful%3F&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fhow-has-blackthorn-events-improved-your-event-management-and-what-features-do-you-find-most-useful&via=G2dotcom) [![facebook](/assets/social-logos/facebook-350d0b410d6b10debcf893050e803a8633d53561aa42807b087b8daf9be3668f.svg "facebook")](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fhow-has-blackthorn-events-improved-your-event-management-and-what-features-do-you-find-most-useful) [![gmail](/assets/social-logos/gmail-6db42f21e7c254fae201b112bef0dd15d25223a5cbb32691ce80eab43761eadf.svg "gmail")](https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&fs=1&tf=1&to=&su=How+has+Blackthorn+Events+improved+your+event+management%2C+and+what+features+do+you+find+most+useful%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fhow-has-blackthorn-events-improved-your-event-management-and-what-features-do-you-find-most-useful%0aHow+has+Blackthorn+Events+improved+your+event+management%2C+and+what+features+do+you+find+most+useful%3F) [![mail](/assets/social-logos/mail-d55c53b04bf49872e40cd2443b85a99caa23394e6cf154ae32a9d08377c15d86.svg "mail")](mailto:?subject=How+has+Blackthorn+Events+improved+your+event+management%2C+and+what+features+do+you+find+most+useful%3F&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.g2.com%2Fdiscussions%2Fhow-has-blackthorn-events-improved-your-event-management-and-what-features-do-you-find-most-useful%0aHow+has+Blackthorn+Events+improved+your+event+management%2C+and+what+features+do+you+find+most+useful%3F) - Copy link - [ ## How has Blackthorn Events improved your event management, and what features do you find most useful? ](/discussions/how-has-blackthorn-events-improved-your-event-management-and-what-features-do-you-find-most-useful) How has Blackthorn Events improved your event management, and what features do you find most useful?
