Managed 30+ Events, 780+ Registrants, and 30 Exhibitors for Hybrid Symposium

American Marketing Association

The American Marketing Association (AMA) managed a diverse portfolio of external and internal events, but relied on multiple disparate solutions. When the global pandemic necessitated a rapid shift to virtual, their existing platform proved to have significant limitations. It lacked the backend flexibility needed for real-time changes and did not offer hybrid capabilities, preventing the AMA from scaling for future event formats. This posed a challenge to adapt quickly to changing market needs and maintain a single source of truth for their event program. The AMA sought a new event management platform focused on flexibility and scalability, ultimately choosing Cvent to support its total event program. They implemented Cvent's Event Management, Attendee Hub, OnArrival, Mobile Event App, and Appointments solutions. This comprehensive platform allowed the AMA to scale its hybrid event experiences, accommodating diverse event formats and types. Additionally, an API integration between Cvent and Salesforce created a centralized data source, streamlining registration, ensuring data integrity, and providing a 360-degree view of customers. Leveraging Cvent, the AMA successfully hosted over 30 events in the first year, including a hybrid Higher Education Symposium that managed 100+ sessions for more than 780 registrants. They engaged 30 exhibitors both onsite and virtually, using Appointments for seamless one-on-one meetings. The platform also enabled personalized attendee experiences, streamlined onsite operations with contactless check-in via OnArrival, and facilitated the collection of valuable real-time feedback through session-level surveys, enhancing content quality and proving event value.

Key Results
  • 30+ events hosted in the first year with Cvent
  • Managed 100+ sessions for 780+ registrants for hybrid Higher Ed Symposium
  • Hosted 30 exhibitors onsite and virtually

$3.85 Billion Raised from 315,000+ Donors for Duke Forward Campaign

Duke University

Before implementing Cvent, event planning at Duke University was a manual and isolated process across departments. This made communication and staffing for onsite events tedious and unpredictable. For instance, the Alumni Association handled all event creation, emails, and reporting manually. Similarly, the Development Office managed registrations through emailed forms, faxes, and manual spreadsheet entries. This lack of coordination led to inefficiencies and limited reach. In 2016, Duke's IT organization partnered with Cvent to establish a single, centralized event management initiative. This solution aimed to transform efficiency and time management across the campus. Cvent technology supported departments in key areas such as event marketing, registration, onsite solutions, contact management, system integration, and e-commerce. It provided the Development Office with greater efficiency, scale, and data-backed initiatives. For the Alumni Association, the solution allowed them to bring their Alumni Network in-house with a dynamic, secure, and cost-effective tool. The implementation resulted in a significant transformation in efficiency and time-management across the university. Duke University successfully raised $3.85 billion for the Duke Forward Campaign, securing gifts from over 315,000 donors and foundations. The Development Office now efficiently organizes more than 140 events annually, including 25 large fundraising events, with a team of only six staff members. The Alumni Association also increased its event capacity, hosting over 700 regional events each year with only three operational staffers on a team of twelve. Cvent became a core part of their technological infrastructure, improving alumni engagement and fundraising initiatives.

Key Results
  • $3.85 billion raised for Duke Forward Campaign
  • over 315,000 donors and foundations solicited
  • over 140 events organized annually by Development Office

$10.9M Saved With 28% Growth in Meetings and Doubled EMEA Events

Autodesk

Autodesk's Global Strategic Meetings department faced inefficiencies due to disparate systems, lacking integrated data for benchmarking and tracking program growth. Inadequate reporting meant little insight into program maturation, and total spend was not leveraged in sourcing. The organization needed a simplified process for meeting requests, accurate spend capture, and year-over-year savings validation. Global expansion plans, particularly in EMEA and APAC, necessitated improved sourcing processes, risk management, and cost savings for decentralized internal meetings. Financial policies were not adhered to, and contracts were individually managed, creating stopgaps in effective event management. To address these challenges, Gigi's team implemented a Strategic Meetings Management Program (SMMP). In 2014, Autodesk adopted a suite of Cvent solutions to manage their global portfolio of meetings and events. Teams began leveraging Cvent's Meeting Request Portal, which seamlessly transformed requests into RFPs, eliminating manual transcription and risky data gaps. The Cvent Supplier Network enabled efficient venue sourcing using unique criteria and filters. Integrated reporting functionality provided customizable, on-demand reports to stakeholders, further proving the value of the team and their events. Autodesk achieved significant financial benefits, including $649,000 in savings by proactively reducing potential attrition. Total savings reached an astounding $10.9 million in 2018. The number of global events grew by 28%, expanding to almost 350 annual events, and meetings offered in the EMEA region doubled. The team's success led to increased trust and visibility within the organization, elevating their mission and fostering cross-departmental collaboration. They were entrusted with critical projects, like sourcing new locations for major conferences, and now successfully mitigate risks and ensure enterprise-wide efficiencies.

Key Results
  • $649,000 in savings by reducing potential attrition
  • $10.9 million in total savings for 2018
  • 28% growth in the number of meetings managed

6,300+ Hours Saved and 167K Room Nights Managed via Event Collaboration

Christian Brothers Automotive Corporation & Marriott Marquis Houston

Christian Brothers Automotive (CBA) faced significant challenges managing a variety of events due to disparate systems and inefficient communication. Their reliance on a third-party vendor for housing management caused delays and mismatched registration and housing lists. Critical room block utilization and reporting capabilities were essentially non-existent. This lack of integrated systems resulted in widespread frustration, inefficiencies, and an inability to assess program impact. Christian Brothers Automotive addressed these issues by adopting a comprehensive suite of Cvent solutions, including Registration, Event Diagramming, and Passkey. These integrated tools consolidated all event management processes into a single system, significantly improving overall efficiencies. The Registration tool facilitated secure data collection and personalized attendee experiences, while Event Diagramming provided detailed space layouts and visual experiences for streamlined planning and collaboration. Cvent Passkey automated housing management, offering custom booking sites and real-time dashboards for improved room block oversight. This allowed CBA to track all event program data easily in one location. The implementation of Cvent solutions yielded significant results for both companies. Christian Brothers Automotive saved over 6,300 hours specifically in managing room blocks. Marriott Marquis Houston created more than 2,000 diagrams annually and efficiently managed 167,000 annual group room nights with Passkey.

Business Case

Processed 54,000 Reservations and Saved 2 Hours Daily for Hotel Staff

Schulte Hospitality

Manual rooming list processing led to extensive data entry, high error risk, and consumed valuable staff hours for Schulte Hospitality. Planners lacked real-time visibility, and staff often spent one to 1.5 hours daily pulling and updating lists. Remote teams also faced limited PMS access, and scaling the growing brand with lean staffing proved challenging due to these legacy processes. During a pivotal tech transition following Hilton's acquisition of the Graduate brand, Schulte Hospitality sought a modern solution for group room block management. They selected Cvent Passkey to automate room block workflows and manage reservations without direct PMS access. This empowered planners and clients with real-time, self-service booking and editing capabilities. Passkey also reduced manual data entry and errors through its upload and validation tool, supporting flexible and scalable operations across 34 hotels. In the first six months, Schulte Hospitality processed 54,000 reservations via Passkey, achieving dramatic efficiency gains. Staff members saved an estimated two hours per day, redirecting this time to higher-impact client support and sales activities. The solution significantly reduced human error and improved data accuracy, while enabling small hotels to deliver a seamless experience similar to larger properties. This also empowered planners with 24/7 self-service access and boosted upsell revenue opportunities. Ultimately, the transformation improved staff morale and enhanced both guest and employee experiences.

  • 54,000 reservations processed in first 6 months
  • 2 hours saved per day by staff

This made it difficult to respond quickly to RFPs, track ROI across a diverse portfolio, and reach planners using digital sourcing platforms.

The Education Trust logo
Business Case

Saved 2-3 Hours Per Event Sourcing, Achieved 48-Hour Turnaround for Events

The Education Trust

The Education Trust, an advocacy nonprofit, faced significant challenges with manual and fragmented restaurant and private dining sourcing for its increasing number of smaller, off-site events. The existing process involved broad Google searches, navigating multiple individual restaurant websites, confirming capacity, submitting separate RFPs, and waiting for scattered email responses. This multi-step workflow was extremely time-consuming, often stretching across multiple days, and pulled essential time away from strategic initiatives and stakeholder management. They needed a more efficient, structured approach to restaurant sourcing without increasing staff or sacrificing control. The Education Trust implemented the Cvent Vendor Marketplace, powered by Reposite, which offered a curated marketplace and an AI-assisted RFP workflow. This solution replaced manual online searches with a centralized, planner-friendly workspace for restaurant and small-format event sourcing. A high-stakes test arose when the CEO required a last-minute private dinner for 12 VIP guests in Austin with non-negotiable constraints. Ray submitted a single RFP through Reposite, which yielded five responses. This allowed them to quickly vet and present three finalists, with the chosen restaurant successfully meeting all criteria, including budget and capacity adjustments. Through the implementation of Reposite, The Education Trust achieved significant operational improvements and executive satisfaction. Ray Galloway estimated saving 2–3 hours per sourcing request, transforming multi-day manual processes into efficient workflows. The new system enabled a faster turnaround, with multiple tailored proposals received within 24–48 hours and restaurant selections confirmed within the same 48-hour window after leadership review. This success strengthened executive confidence, leading to the renewal of their contract and supporting the expansion of small-format, relationship-driven events without increasing headcount.

Business Case

Achieved 35% Higher RFP Value, 100% Response Rate, and 63% New RFPs

Kimpton The Forum Hotel

Kimpton The Forum Hotel, a new property in Charlottesville, Virginia, faced significant challenges in a secondary market. Planners often overlooked the smaller city, leading to limited awareness for the hotel. Additionally, the hotel relied heavily on a single owner-client for nearly half its group business, necessitating diversification and a stronger strategy to attract new corporate and association demand while competing with larger nearby cities. To overcome these hurdles, the hotel partnered with Cvent and implemented a comprehensive strategy utilizing the Group Pipeline Multiplier. This included targeted advertising across the Cvent Supplier Network, like Suggested Ads, to expand visibility in target drive-markets. They leveraged Planner Navigator for data-driven outbound prospecting, focusing on specific need periods and tailoring outreach, and utilized RFP Showcase to bid on incremental, highly qualified opportunities not directly sent to the hotel. Cvent Event Diagramming also supported visual storytelling and operational efficiency. The hotel achieved significant measurable gains, including a 35% increase in RFP value year over year. A remarkable 63% of RFPs were from organizations new to the property, and 70% of planners sourcing the hotel were new contacts, demonstrating enhanced awareness and a diversified client base. Furthermore, the hotel maintained a 100% response rate with an impressive average response time of 6.5 hours, fostering strong planner relationships and building a sustainable foundation for group business.

Key Results
  • 35% increase in RFP value
  • 100% response rate

70% Reduced Manual Work and 90% Increased Event Data Captured for Cognizant

Cognizant

Cognizant, a global technology services and consulting firm, faced significant challenges managing its extensive global events program. Events constituted 65% of their client engagement, yet manual data transfer to martech platforms like Pardot and Salesforce resulted in inconsistent data and redundant workflows. This made it difficult to accurately track lead generation and measure event ROI, often leading to errors in campaign syncs and loss of critical data for real-time reporting. Data accuracy and efficiency were paramount to understanding high-value touchpoints. To address these issues, Cognizant implemented custom integrations with Cvent, automating the entire end-to-end event management and data capture process. They collaborated with their Sales and Marketing IT team to develop advanced, two-way integrations with Salesforce and Pardot. This involved a thorough evaluation of diverse stakeholder requirements across different event types and regions, leading to the creation of a tailored integration. The solution effectively synchronized invitation lists, registrations, and engagement metrics, allowing data to flow seamlessly into Salesforce and then to other platforms like Pardot and Snowflake for comprehensive data visualization. As a result, Cognizant achieved significant operational improvements and data enhancements. Manual work decreased by nearly 70%, and event data health improved by 65%. There was a 90% increase in event data captured in Salesforce, with 49% originating from Cvent. The company successfully managed 14,800+ registrants across various events, maintaining a 96% audience retention rate. These integrations greatly improved the quality of marketing qualified leads (MQLs) and provided sales and marketing teams with a nearly 360-degree understanding of customer engagement, significantly influencing the pipeline.

Key Results
  • 70% reduction in manual work using integrations
  • 90% increase in event data captured in Salesforce
  • 65% improvement in event data health

ACEC Arizona and The Westin Riverwalk logo
Business Case

Achieved $700,000 Additional Revenue and Managed 300,000 Room Nights

ACEC Arizona and The Westin Riverwalk

ACEC Arizona faced significant challenges managing complex housing blocks for its large annual conference and numerous smaller meetings. Manually handling room reservations for thousands of attendees across multiple venues was inefficient, error-prone, and resulted in a "rooming list nightmare." Both ACEC Arizona and partner hotels like The Westin Riverwalk struggled with inconsistent data formats, missing information, and the arduous task of tracking updates and changes for reservations. This manual process hindered collaboration and made it difficult to secure personal data and optimize guest experiences. Both ACEC Arizona and The Westin Riverwalk adopted Cvent Passkey to streamline their reservation processes. The automated solution integrated with The Westin’s Property Management System, synchronizing reservations and creating a unified process for registrants. ACEC Arizona leveraged its own Passkey license to embed room selection directly into the conference registration, offering attendees a seamless, branded booking experience. This allowed guests to self-manage bookings, while dashboards provided real-time communication between the hotel and planners on pickup rates and availability. Additionally, Passkey enabled the hotel to offer upgrades, extended stays, and additional amenities, creating new revenue streams and enhancing guest experiences. Implementing Cvent Passkey led to significant improvements for both ACEC Arizona and The Westin Riverwalk. The Westin Riverwalk generated over $700,000 in additional upsell revenue annually through Passkey's amenity and extended stay options. The solution also successfully managed 300,000 room nights for a large conference and processed more than 24,000 annual reservations securely. Both organizations experienced substantial time savings, freeing up staff from manual room block management to focus on building more events and enhancing guest experiences. The platform also fostered improved communication, coordination, and data security, eliminating the "rooming list nightmare" and allowing for seamless collaboration on critical event details.

Key Results
  • $700,000 additional upsell revenue annually via Passkey
  • 300,000 room nights managed for large conference
  • 24,000 reservations processed annually
