Gartner published their first-ever Magic QuadrantTM for Event Technology Platforms in March 2024 and Cvent was named a Leader.

Gartner Magic Quadrant

Vendors were evaluated based on their ability to support In-Person User Conferences/Trade Shows, Virtual User Conferences/Trade Shows, and In-Person Roundtables/Field Marketing Events. Supporting all of that in one platform is no easy task, but that’s what success in today’s event programs demands. Most organizations have a mix of in-person, virtual and hybrid events, large conferences complemented by multiple field events. They need technology to help them execute all these events efficiently while also being a single source of truth for event data. We built Cvent from the ground up for that very reason, so it was especially gratifying that Cvent scored in the top quartile in all three of these use cases.

Connecting Event Investment to Business Results 

Events have resumed their place as a critical channel to meet new prospects, connect with customers, and drive revenue. But as budgets remain tight, event technology is helping organizations tie event investment to business results with clarity and confidence. In addition to helping teams meet growing event demand more efficiently, event technology powers data collection and analysis processes. It allows marketers and event professionals to capture and measure engagement at – and across – events and ultimately attribute their events’ impact to revenue.
