Cvent: Helping Hoteliers Drive More Business Through the Big Business of Live Events

Cvent offers them the tools they need to optimize each stage of the event lifecycle and grow their ROI.

In 2008, the company launched, the Cvent Supplier Network, now the world’s largest meetings and events venue sourcing database, which was a catalyst to Cvent expanding into the hospitality and travel industry with its Hospitality Cloud platform. Now, the company has thousands of hospitality clients around the world, including major hotel chains, DMOs, convention centres, luxury resorts, and boutique properties, whorely on Cvent’s solutions to help them find new buyers, grow their MICE business, and operate that business profitably.

Through Cvent’s sourcing platforms, hoteliers and venues gain access to nearly 100,000 active event planners who will source more than USD $19 billion in business this year alone. With nearly 2,000 new organisations sourcing on the platforms each month, suppliers have a unique opportunity to engage these new buyers and leverage Cvent’s digital marketing tools to get in front of them and market themselves in a more strategic way. “Our goal is to connect hoteliers with planners around the world and help them engage their customers directly, efficiently, and profitably,” says Chris McAndrews, vice president of marketing for Cvent Hospitality Cloud.

Cvent’s unique ability to power the entire meetings and events ecosystem is driving its global growth. In its 20th year in business, the company continues to invest heavily in technology and enhance the user experience to offer greater value for their clients. Beyond its size, scale, and product innovation, Cvent’s dedication to putting the customer first that makes the company stand out from the crowded event technology landscape. With its innovative solutions and deep industry expertise, Cvent is bringing together hoteliers and planners and transforming meetings and events around the world.
