Cvent CONNECT to bring close to 3,000
professionals from the events industry for education and
inspiration
Cvent, Inc. (NYSE: CVT), a leading cloud-based enterprise event
management company, today announced that it expects to bring close
to 3,000 attendees to Cvent CONNECT including clients, prospects,
partners and employees. Cvent is quickly approaching close to 1,500
registrations for its 5th annual industry conference. Event and
hospitality professionals will have the opportunity to learn about
new technology solutions, discover best practices, and network with
their peers, providing them the ability to maximize the ROI of
their event spend. The five-day event will take place at The
Venetian® and The Palazzo® Las Vegas from June 26-30. The first
half of the conference, June 26-28, is for hospitality
professionals. The conference’s second half, June 28-30, is devoted
to event and meeting professionals.
“Last June, we created an avenue for the entire meetings and
events ecosystem to gather and embrace a successful future for our
industry,” said Chuck Ghoorah, co-founder and president of
worldwide sales and marketing at Cvent. “This year will mark our
fifth time hosting an industry conference, and with each passing
year we have been able to set the bar even higher for ourselves –
from our attendance rate of power users, to the thought-provoking
educational sessions we offer. Our goal is to provide attendees the
ultimate meeting experience and deliver highly impactful
information that can be applied at their company and in their own
careers to achieve all-around meeting success.”
In June 2015, more than 2,300 attendees experienced hundreds of
educational sessions, five compelling keynotes, and countless
unique networking opportunities. 95 percent of attendees from last
year’s conference said they’d recommend the event and would return
in the future. Cvent plans to bring back a number of successful
activities for its attendees while also offering a handful of new
additions, such as:
- Collaborating with peers – Cvent
CONNECT will offer attendees more opportunities to connect with
other professionals in the industry and network between group
businesses, corporations and associations.
- Expanding the Exchange – In
2015, this on-site tradeshow brought together more than 70
hospitality exhibitors and 800 planners. This year, the exchange is
doubling in size with more than 150 booths expected. In addition,
longer hours and premier booths will be offered for hotels and
destinations that wish to elevate their profile even further.
- Announcing new technology and
product enhancements – As in years past, this is the chance for
attendees to hear the latest news, first-hand, from Cvent’s
technology team and get a sneak peek at the company’s future
roadmap.
- Increasing Cvent training
opportunities – This was a top request from 2015. Attendees
want to spend time diving even deeper into the Cvent product in
order to get the most out of their technology investment. Both
planners and hoteliers also have the opportunity to become ‘Cvent
Certified’ at the event.
“As a key sponsor of Cvent CONNECT 2016, we’re excited to have
the opportunity to work with Cvent and once again host some of the
most influential professionals from the hospitality and events
industry,” said Chandra Allison, vice president of sales at The
Venetian and The Palazzo. “Our team is looking forward to providing
world-class service and an unforgettable experience to the
thousands of attendees expected to attend this progressive industry
conference.”
In the next month, Cvent will provide more details about keynote
speakers. For more information about the Cvent CONNECT 2016
