What happened to AllSeated? Prismm, Cvent and the shutdown

AllSeated became Prismm in 2024, Cvent bought it in 2025, and Cvent is sunsetting it: no new events since August 26, 2026, access ends June 2027. The full dated timeline, what migrates, and what to do now.

By Daniel Pitner  ·  Updated September 16, 2026

AllSeated didn’t simply disappear — it rebranded, was acquired, and is now being phased out. The company renamed itself Prismm in January 2024. Fifteen months later, on April 24, 2025, Cvent (which already owned competitor Social Tables) acquired Prismm. Cvent is now shutting down the Prismm platform entirely to consolidate users into Cvent Event Diagramming, the product most planners still call Social Tables.

I’m Daniel Pitner, Director of Sales at EventDiagram. With over 12 years in the event industry, I’m sharing this factual timeline so planners, venues, and caterers know exactly how to protect their hard work before the final 2026 cutoff. Dates are from Prismm’s and Cvent’s own announcements and Cvent’s transition page, checked September 7, 2026.

The Prismm / AllSeated shutdown timeline

If you have an old AllSeated bookmark, it is now a Prismm login, and these deadlines apply directly to your account.

Date Milestone What it means for you
January 22, 2024 AllSeated becomes Prismm Same product, same account, new name.
April 24, 2025 Cvent acquires Prismm AllSeated and Social Tables now belong to the same company.
July 8, 2026 Phased rollback New-event creation began switching off account by account.
August 26, 2026 No new events in Prismm The last cutover to creating events in Cvent Event Diagramming only. Existing Prismm events stay editable.
June 2027 Access ends Prismm access ends and your work stays view-only inside Cvent, per Cvent’s migration resources page. No Cvent page names December 31, 2026.

The practical deadline is earlier than any of those dates: it is whenever your next event lands that you can no longer plan inside Prismm. Log in and try to create a test event — that is the only way to know which phase your account is in. The account-by-account detail is in what survives the Cvent migration.

What migrates to Cvent Event Diagramming (and what gets lost)

While active accounts are automatically migrating to Cvent Event Diagramming, the transfer is not lossless. Here is exactly what you need to back up immediately:

Your AllSeated / Prismm data Migrates? What to do
Templates and standard setups Does not migrate Export as PDFs to rebuild in your next tool.
Pre-2022 events Does not migrate Export any past layouts you may reference again.
Tabletop Designer work Does not migrate Export your renders; Cvent has no equivalent destination for these.
Favorites and object groups Does not migrate Screenshot your lists so you can manually recreate them.
Post-2022 events Migrates These transfer and remain editable until the June 2027 sunset.
Guest lists Migrates with the event Export as CSV anyway, not screenshots, so you can re-import the data easily.

Work through the full Prismm export checklist well before the June 2027 sunset, whichever tool you land in afterward. The templates row is the one that costs people the most: the PDF of a room comes across fine as a picture, but the reusable version of that room has to be rebuilt by hand.

Your next steps: stay with Cvent or switch to an AllSeated alternative?

As an independent competitor building EventDiagram, my bias is clear. However, your best path forward depends on your daily workflow:

Stay with Cvent Event Diagramming

This is the path of least friction if your venue already relies heavily on the Cvent ecosystem for registration or sourcing. Be prepared for 12-month contract commitments and specific tier limits — I’ve laid out what Cvent Event Diagramming actually costs per event and per editor.

Move to an independent tool

If you are tired of event tech consolidation cycles, now is the time to switch. Because you have to rebuild your templates anyway, build them where you intend to stay. At EventDiagram, we offer monthly billing, open exports, and free floor-plan conversions from your Prismm exports — the details are on the AllSeated alternative page. If you want the whole field, I keep an honest survey of every real Social Tables and Prismm alternative, including the ones that beat us on specific rows.

Where you land also depends on what you run. Wedding planners, who made up much of AllSeated’s most loyal base, and hotels and event venues pricing this per property each have their own walkthrough.

Do this week

Log in this week, test your account status, and start exporting your templates. The work you did in AllSeated is still yours, and for a few more weeks it is one export away.

What specific room layouts or templates from AllSeated are you most concerned about having to rebuild? Send them over — rebuilding standard setups from Prismm exports is exactly what we do during onboarding, and it’s free through the transition.
