Cvent Earns Five Global Awards for AI Innovation Across Marketing, Events, and Hospitality

Cvent, a leading provider of event, marketing and hospitality technology solutions, announced today that it has earned five awards recognizing its leadership in AI across marketing technology, events and travel and customer engagement. Each recognition acknowledges CventIQ™, the AI that powers Cvent’s platform that is purpose-built for the events industry and grounded in the signals and workflows that make events perform.

The wins across marketing, event management, and hospitality/travel reflect how far Cvent’s platform strategy reaches, spanning every stage of the event lifecycle from initial planning through execution and post-event measurement and analytics.

We are honored and grateful to be recognized by five expert panels who evaluate some of the best work in our industry. Winning five awards across five disciplines is not a coincidence,” said McNeel Keenan, Senior Vice President, Product Management at Cvent. “It is validation that the impact CventIQ is delivering for our customers is real and measurable. That is deeply motivating. It pushes us to keep innovating, keep listening, and keep building the tools our customers need to achieve their goals.

The awards include:

  • MarTech Breakthrough Awards – Event Management Innovation Award: Cvent’s win recognizes breakthrough innovation in the global marketing technology industry, with CventIQ leading the submission as an always-on, AI-powered marketing engine spanning intelligent planning, high-velocity content creation, personalized attendee journeys, and post-event insight generation.

  • Event Technology Awards: AI Edition – Outstanding Contribution to AI in Events: Hailed as the industry’s top honor for AI advancement in events, this award recognizes CventIQ as a platform-wide intelligence layer embedded across the full event lifecycle, with judges noting the entry operates “on a different level to most entries.”

  • Global Eventex Awards – Gold, Event Management Solution: Awarded by a prestigious global awards program spanning more than 100 countries, CventIQ was named Gold winner, validating it as the leading AI-powered event management solution for driving measurable outcomes across planning, personalization, and performance.

  • TravelTech Breakthrough Awards – B2B Travel Provider of the Year: Cvent was recognized for the Cvent Transient Agentic Assistant, powered by CventIQ. This industry-first AI agent embedded directly into the corporate travel RFP and negotiation workflow helps buyers and hotel partners source and negotiate rates with greater speed and confidence.

  • ACEF Global Customer Engagement Awards – Gold, Best Use of AI: CventIQ earned Gold for its ability to personalize the attendee journey, from AI-powered session recommendations and in-app assistants to Session Snapshots and post-event summaries, turning generic event experiences into individually tailored ones.

These five recognitions arrive as Cvent acts on its commitment to invest more than $1 billion in technology, AI, and product innovation over the next three years, the largest in the company’s history. That commitment is rooted in a conviction the industry appears to be affirming: as AI automates content, outreach, and personalization at scale, the real, human-to-human moments that events create are becoming more valuable, not less — that is the Presence Premium™. For Cvent, the recognitions represent meaningful external validation that the work underway is delivering real value across the industry.
