Subject: Cvent/Venue Adaption Rage
Hi,
I am the Head of Events Marketing, NA for TCS (Tata Consultancy Services). One of the most difficult problems I face is showing Leadership that we have exhausted all possibilities when it comes to venue searches in North America. We use Cvent, a sourcing partner and general internal research for our searches. I have two questions:
1.) Does anyone know what the venue adaption rate to Cvent is in North America?
2.) Does anyone have any other recommendations/pointers on venue searching in North America?
