Despite the challenges of the past few years, event and hospitality professionals have inspired with their ingenuity and creativity as they kept the industry moving forward.
That's why this year’s Cvent Excellence Awards will honor the inspiring work of event and hospitality professionals across the industry. It’s time to showcase your achievements at our 10th annual awards ceremony!
What are the Cvent Excellence Awards?
Held annually at Cvent CONNECT, the Cvent Excellence Awards celebrate customers from across the globe who are driving innovation in the meetings and events industry. The 10th annual awards will recognize Cvent customers from organizations of all sizes across industries as they inspire success.
Our awards ceremony has always featured amazing moments (can you spot Elton John at our incredible 2021 awards ceremony last year below?). This year’s awards will be bigger and better than ever, featuring exclusive experiences, a catered banquet, and plenty of FOMO-worthy moments you won’t want to miss.

What’s new for 2022?
We’ve got brand new categories for event professionals and hospitality professionals to honor your hard work. Not able to make it to CONNECT in-person? No problem! Our global awards program will celebrate finalists both onsite and virtually in front of tens of thousands at Cvent CONNECT.
What do finalists and winners receive?
All finalist organizations receive 2 free Cvent CONNECT registrations. Finalists receive a plaque of appreciation and winners receive a crystal trophy during our fully-catered banquet. 2022 will also feature exclusive experiences and promotional opportunities for finalists and winners along with a celebratory show to remember!

What’s the deadline?
Our first-round deadline is January 24. However, we understand great events will be taking place throughout the winter and early Spring, so we’ll likely extend our final deadline to February 14.
We highly encourage you to submit as early as possible. We will announce finalists via our website and email in March, 2022.
