With the challenges of 2020, it was incredible event professionals like you who kept the industry moving forward. We want to take a moment to showcase all that you’ve done across your total events program.
That's why this year’s Cvent Excellence Awards will honor the best in virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. It’s time to showcase your success in pivoting your programs and finding new ways to bring people together!
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 9th annual awards will recognize Cvent customers from organizations of all sizes across industries as they inspire success with their virtual, hybrid, and/or in-person events.
Our awards ceremony has always featured incredible moments like Vegas' top Lady Gaga impersonator and Cirque du Soleil performers. Even though last year’s virtual ceremony looked a bit different, we were excited to showcase our finalists and winners in front of 43,000 attendees at Cvent CONNECT Virtual. Check out highlights from past years below!
