About Cadre LLC

Cadre is a virtual marketplace platform for the meetings and events industry that helps organizations compliantly contract, manage, and pay event-industry freelancers. The platform is positioned as an all-in-one, user-friendly app to staff live or virtual events by sourcing and engaging on-site event staff, meeting planners, travel directors, virtual moderators, and audio-visual professionals. Cadre supports both bringing your existing freelance team into the platform and discovering new talent through a registry described as “thousands” of event industry freelancers. Clients can post events/projects, review profiles, invite and interview candidates, electronically contract staff, coordinate via in-app messaging, manage schedules and expenses, and release payments directly to freelancers’ bank accounts. A core part of Cadre’s value proposition is compliance and risk management. The site emphasizes compliant onboarding, annual background checks, and insurance (including workers’ compensation). Cadre also simplifies administration such as tax reporting by issuing required year-end 1099 forms to contractors. Cadre offers self-serve and enterprise plans. The enterprise tier adds organization-wide visibility and reporting (dashboards for spend and trends by planner/department/client), broader access to freelancer profile data without posting events, stored rates, policy/document management, and enhanced search/filtering.
