Cvent

“I’ve done many technology rollouts in the past, and it was the most seamless technology implementation I have ever experienced. We were up and running super quickly, and I think the results kind of speak for themselves.”

“Everyone who has used Cvent at this university, regardless of their implementation plans, has seen success. Our plan is to build on that success and improve access to the platform, while still maintaining standards and meeting university policy requirements.”

““Passkey prompts us to get those people to their sleeping rooms so we always meet our guarantee and don’t have penalties. It saves money, time, and labor on the Events team. We very rarely, if ever, experience attrition in not filling our rooms.””

““You are able to login to Passkey at any given time and get your data. You click a couple of buttons and bam! It’s right on the dashboard.””

““You can get all kinds of reports from Passkey,””

““We can send them an automated email to complete the booking and sure enough, it works.””

““Now, with Passkey, we can match up who registered for the seminar on the one hand, and on the other, we can see who has registered in our room block,””

““Time savings are key. The reports are very easy to use….It’s all right there for you. It doesn’t matter if you’re having a seminar for twenty or a thousand people, it still works the same.””

“"We can score leads and have them assigned to sales automatically and at any point, we can now see the value of the lead through our CRM system," she explains. "We also have some system generated ROI reports which allow us to look at event effectiveness."”

“"Understanding the value delivered from leads is one good strategy to get at ROI—and ROI is playing a big role in our go/no-go decisions for events."”

““ I think it’s really important that the event management software program does speak the marketing language, because a lot of the data that you're getting from your events will help you to market in the future,””

““I think that this was a huge part of why, because it gave me a lot of visibility and showed how the changes we’ve made can actually translate into revenue.””

““One of the ways it helped me personally is that I ended up getting a promotion,””

“"We’re able to promote what we’re doing with Cvent and pull real statistics, have real data, show that we’re bringing in revenue, and really show that this event is valuable to the university."”

““When we put a banner up in our mobile app and see exactly how many people look at that banner and for how long, that's really great data that we can give to potential sponsors.””

““It’s very easy for us to get sponsors with the data that we collect on Cvent,””

““By being able to market the app to attendees, we almost doubled our adoption rate and had more people actively engaged in the app,””

““We attribute our growth in registration to the better website UX and registration process, as well as our targeted marketing campaign using Cvent.””

““There’s a very high expectations, and that’s one thing we’re very happy with in having moved to Cvent,””

““We’re able to reallocate that money to do more with what we’re doing with Cvent. Where we would have had a set budget to do registration, we can now do registration and use the Onsite Solutions. It allowed us to expand what we were doing where we just couldn’t before.””

““One of the biggest advantages we saw in moving from our in-house system was cost savings. Just because you build something in-house doesn’t mean it’s free. Once you build it, it’s constant maintenance. So there was definitely a significant cost savings year-over-year.””

“The reporting features and the tracking features have really enabled us to share that information with our senior leadership so they can actually make strategic decisions.”

“Cvent is actually the hub of our program so it helps to govern some of our policies and it standardizes some of our procedures and provides visibility into our meetings for our leadership team.”

““Now we’ve got proof that business is happening at the Morningstar Investment Conference. We know the value of that business, and then we can track where that business is going. It really just helps build our pipeline, and it also helps all the C-Suite. They see the financial impact and the long-lasting relationship impact it has.””

““These tangible numbers help us make planning decisions and prioritize our budget. Enabling the sales team to do business with tracking and reporting means greater financial support for our events in the future,””
