"[Our stakeholders] were very, very happy with not only the Virtual Attendee Hub but also the design and functionality of the registration site."
"We were able to customize and really build it out."
“In mid-March, when the Coronavirus pandemic hit, we suddenly saw a lot of events on our event calendar evaporating.”
"The capability of Cvent Event Diagramming has been so powerful. Your true CMPs and meeting planners are like, 'Oh, awesome. This is exactly what I want.' They'll custom-tailor that, send it back to use, and then all of a sudden the nation team, the onsite team, sales, ops-- everyone's connected and aligned. It's just so easy for them."
"Cvent Event Diagramming gives more of a visual and honest representation of what the space will be overall and what a client should expect. Then it helps operationally so we can pass all of that information on to everyone on our team, from our banquet staff to our events manager. Everyone has a visual take of what the meeting space will look like."
“About 90% of our leads come through Cvent."
"It is really a strategic partnership. We enjoy working with Cvent because they want to partner with us. They want to be the extension of the opportunities that we have within the technology space. The partnership is absolutely critical. They are an extension of our sales teams."
“We set up a global system with a defined global process, but which allows local process specifics – an event requested in India will be approved just like an event request in Germany, but the route to doing so can be different everywhere. We developed this process until 2019 when Cvent was expanded to the majority of Bayer and has run smoothly since. Our previous event approach was fragmented globally, and we had limited insight into attendee behaviour as well as our own expectations and budget efficiency for each event.”
"Where we don't have as large a proactive sales team at the moment, the Group Business Webpage allows us to reach planners without being on sales missions or sending people overseas."
“We’ve succeeded by making sustainability as simple as possible. We’ve made it easy to complete the green meetings checklist, and planners are automatically notified to do so after their event. It’s part of the process: daily, common practice broken down into actionable steps."
"We've been working with a broad variety of Cvent solutions for around ten years now. They're an integral part of our sales funnel. Diamond Listings give us tremendous reach even in markets where we don't have sales staff on the ground."
"With Cvent, we can get our property in front of more potential clients domestically but also internationally. A few clicks are enough for them to send an RFP. And thanks to the pre-saved answer blocks, we can send a response quickly. All that has helped us gain more leads and win a solid share of the business in our market."
"The benefit of our diamond advertising is that we can have more information on our profile- more pictures, more information about what to see and do in the city. We can steer the meeting planner toward what we want them to see about Amsterdam. They use Cvent to gather information about cities so it adds value to our advertising."
“Then for our employee events, we do a global employee event every year which involves the entire company.”
"Cvent answered a lot of challenges that hotels were facing by bringing easy-to-use solutions. In the past, when hotels were hosting events and trying to book participants, there was a lot of back-and-forth by email. We now have a great solution with Cvent Passkey, which is easy for the planners, the participants, and the hotels."
