Deutsch Family Wine & Spirits

"We had to adjust what our live events would look like, and Cvent helped us be prepared for that with the new features they implemented in the Supplier Network. We used custom criteria and the built-in capacity calculator to save hours of manual labor."

Autodesk

"The Cvent Supplier Network enables the team to source venues using unique criteria and filters. Rather than having every single hotel follow up with us individually, they'll go through the NSO and it's very efficient. It saves us tons of time."
