Celebrating the best of the meetings & events industry

This award celebrates mission‑driven associations and non-profits that turn events into outcomes, such as growing membership, mobilizing advocates, raising funds, and delivering education. These organizations make the Cvent ecosystem their engine for impact through inclusive, accessible experiences that unify sourcing, registration, content, and onsite execution. They also connect their marketing with community programs to build sustained momentum long after the event is over. Most importantly, they tell a clear, data‑backed story of change – whether that’s membership growth, increased donations, better CE credit management, policy action, or services delivered — powered by standardized workflows, smart integrations, and AI‑assisted targeting and insights that keep the mission moving.

This award celebrates teams who scale virtual program success using Cvent Webinar and/or Attendee Hub to plan smarter, produce high‑quality broadcasts, personalize at scale, and prove digital event ROI.

They may also leverage AI-powered workflows and insights to scale program success. Whether their events are live, simulive, or on‑demand, they run a unified playbook so engagement is measurable, conversion is repeatable, and ROI positively impacts the larger organization. These virtual experts are pushing the boundaries of digital innovation to create impactful, seamless, and highly produced experiences that leave a lasting impact.

This award celebrates a single Cvent champion who turns advocacy into momentum — learning fast and lifting the community while driving measurable outcomes for their organization. They’re the go-to voice for leveling up Cvent expertise with training and certifications, joining in Community conversations, or leaning into feedback, research, and beta testing. They’re eager to share their insights with fellow users through speaking opportunities on webinars, during Cvent CONNECT, through testimonials, or as a reference. Most importantly, these advocates are deeply committed to sharing the power of the Cvent platform for smarter, more impactful events. These are the passionate event and marketing pros who demonstrate great looks like every single day – and are eager to help others achieve the same success.
