Cvent develops a meetings, events and hospitality technology platform that digitises the full event lifecycle, from registration and venue sourcing to attendee engagement and analytics.

The broader technical work spans event technology, data analytics and reporting, virtual and hybrid event technology, mobile applications and software integrations. The Cvent Event Management Platform covers registration and marketing, venue sourcing, room blocks, speaker and agenda management, mobile event apps, check-in, lead retrieval, surveys, event video and reporting.
