For conference venues, corporate planners and agencies
A Cvent Event Diagramming alternative for the room itself
Metis is a room planner, not an event-management suite — it does the floor plan, the furniture, the seating and the sign-off. If diagramming is the part of your stack you are reconsidering, this is the part Metis replaces, and it runs perfectly well beside whatever handles your registration and sourcing.
Bringing the rooms you already have
Coming from Cvent Event Diagramming? You do not have to redraw your venue from memory. Anything you can get out as a PDF or an image becomes an editable Metis room.
1 — Export
Save the floor plan you already have as a PDF, PNG, JPG or SVG.
2 — Import
Create a plan in Metis, choose Import Existing Floorplan and upload it.
3 — Scale
Pick two points you know the real distance between and type it in. Printed dimensions are not read for you.
4 — Trace
Detect the visible walls, doors and windows, review what it found and edit anything it misread.
5 — Keep
Save the finished room as a venue template. Every future event in that room starts from it.
Check the tracing before you trust it. Detection is an editable starting point, not a substitute for reading the source drawing — confirm the scale, the wall joins, which way the doors swing and anything faint or heavily annotated.
What teams use Metis for
Meeting rooms, properly
Theatre, classroom, cabaret, boardroom, U-shape and hollow square, laid out with real clearances against the room's actual doors, pillars and screens rather than a capacity grid.
Answering an RFP
Generate the setup the client asked for, check it fits, and send back a plan rather than a number. The free capacity calculators do the first pass before anyone signs in.
Sign-off that leaves a trail
Review links put the plan in front of the client in 2D and 3D and collect their comments against it, so the approved version is a document and not an email thread.
Delegates in seats
Import the delegate list, seat it, adjust individual places, and print the table plans the room team works from on the day.
The audit before the day
Check Current Fit reports chair overlaps, tight walkways and clearance problems, and the Optimiser offers ranked alternatives for capacity, spacing, sightlines or fire-exit clearance.
What IT will ask about
Microsoft single sign-on, two-factor authentication, per-seat team licensing and published pricing — the answers your IT department wants before a trial becomes a purchase.
Questions people ask before switching
Is Metis affiliated with Cvent?
No. Metis Room Planner is an independent product from ICP Events Limited and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Cvent, Inc.
Does Metis replace registration and event management?
No, and it does not try to. Metis does the room: floor plans, furniture, guest and delegate seating, 3D walkthroughs, client review links and the operations handover.
Can we bring existing diagrams across?
Export the floor plan as a PDF, PNG, JPG or SVG, import it, calibrate the scale from two known points and trace the visible walls, doors and windows into editable objects you can then edit and save as a venue template.
Is 3D included or is it a higher tier?
Included on every paid tier. Every plan opens as a walkthrough, not a render you have to order.
Can we try it against a real room first?
Yes — 14 days, no card. Send your room's dimensions and a photo or exported plan to [email protected] and we will set the first room up with you.
