Often in adult life, recognition for our achievements is harder to find. We don’t get to take home an honor roll report card for performing our daily tasks or a "You Made It to Work on Time Every Day This Week" plaque. This makes those documented accomplishments we do receive even more significant.

Continuing Education Credit
In the events industry if you’re hosting sessions that offer educational content, then you may be awarding Continuing Education Units (CEU) or Continuing Education Credits (CEC). Being able to boast that your attendees will walk away with the value of documented CEUs/CECs can be a huge drive for registration and a way to demonstrate your event’s value in your industry.Managing Your Credit System
If you’re looking for a centralized way to manage your credit system, then the entire process of capturing session attendance, awarding credits, and sending certificates can be automated through Cvent. Within sessions, you can delineate the credit value someone will earn for attending that session and an expiration date, if applicable. Receiving credits can be tied to whether someone attended the session, which you can capture by marking session attendance in the premium version of the Cvent OnArrival app.Send Them A Certificate
Once attendees are granted their credits in the system, the next piece is to send them a certificate to print and hang in their office, file in an obscure email folder, or maybe put up on the fridge with magnets to celebrate the accomplishment. Using Cvent’s Badges & Certificates designer, you can use Data Tags to populate certificates with personalized informationCMP Credits at Cvent CONNECT
