Meetings

Today, Cvent welcomed the 100th destination to its Destination Guide.  The Cvent Destination Guide is an informational resource for meeting and event planners designed to help planners simplify their site selection process by providing them with meeting specific details for worldwide meeting destinations.  Planners can view image galleries, read about things to do, identify the top area hotels, receive restaurant recommendations, map key area attractions and venues, learn about exclusive promotions and more. 

Based upon a recent focus group Cvent hosted, event planners consider an average of 3-5 destinations and spend up to one week researching potential meeting locations during their site selection process.  Approximately 80% of the focus group participants revealed that selecting the appropriate meeting destination is essential to the success of their programs.  More than 90% of the focus group participants felt that the information presented on the destination guide was valuable to event planners. The ability to easily compare multiple destinations, as well as the availability of meeting statistics and meeting facility details which are not easily found elsewhere were cited as the top reasons for utilizing resources like the Cvent Destination Guide.  Amongst other reasons was the capability to send requests for proposals (RFPs) and book venues directly.

The Cvent Destination Guide features profiles for worldwide meeting destinations across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, Asia, South America, Mexico and the Caribbean.  The guide helps planners compare apples to apples in a clear and concise format so that they have all of the necessary information to make a destination recommendation to the final decision-maker.   Click here to explore the destination guide now.
