Blue Cross Blue Shield Association (BCBSA)

BCBSA reoriented their events strategy and launched a new webinar series using Cvent Registration, Attendee Hub, and Studio, then streamlined speaker workflows by adopting Abstract Management and Speaker Resource Center. The integrated stack helped automate submissions, reviews, and communications while scaling program reach and efficiency.

Meeting Professionals International (MPI)

MPI led with innovative hybrid conferences, using Registration, OnArrival, Event Diagramming, Attendee Hub, and later migrated their call for papers to Abstract Management with SRC to centralize submissions, review/score abstracts, and streamline speaker coordination. This supported high engagement and operational efficiency across hybrid events.

Best Friends Animal Society

For the Best Friends National Conference, the team used an end-to-end Cvent stack—Registration, Abstract Management, Speaker Resource Center, Attendee Hub Mobile App, OnArrival Premium, and LeadCapture. Abstract Management and SRC centralised submissions, automated comms, and saved time; mobile and onsite tools improved attendee experience and reduced waste.
