Turn Event Recordings into a Binge‑Worthy Engagement Engine (with Events+)

    This Tip of the Week is all about squeezing every drop of value from the event videos you already have. If your keynotes, webinars, and trainings are currently scattered across drives, aging Attendee Hub catalogs, and random video hosts, you're going to love "The Ultimate Guide to Repurposing Event Videos with Events+."

    This guide shows how to turn those "nice to have" recordings into a centralized, binge‑worthy hub that drives ongoing engagement and pipeline using Cvent's Events+.

    At the heart of the guide is a simple idea: stop treating event recordings as one‑and‑done assets and start treating them as the core of a year‑round content engine. Events+ lets you centralize your best videos from Cvent Webinar and Attendee Hub into a single, branded destination, organized into clear channels so every audience can quickly find what matters to them.

    From there, you can use built‑in editing tools and CventIQ to trim long sessions, add chapters, and auto‑generate titles, descriptions, captions, and subtitles-turning 60‑minute recordings into polished, snackable content people will actually finish.

    Layer on a fully on‑brand, ad‑free viewing experience, banner promos, and an upcoming events calendar with registration links, and suddenly your hub becomes the bridge between past content and future events.

    Finally, robust analytics connect viewing behavior to registrations and pipeline so you can double‑down on the topics and formats that perform best. 

    Here's your Events+ repurposing game plan in five moves:

    • Centralize your best content by pulling in top sessions from Cvent Webinar and Attendee Hub, plus your strongest evergreen recordings, into a single Events+ hub.

    • Create a few clear channels (for example: "Best of [Your Flagship Event]," "Webinars On Demand," "[Persona] Essentials") so audiences instantly know where to start.

    • Polish the viewing experience with trimming, chapters, and CventIQ‑generated titles, descriptions, captions, and subtitles to turn long recordings into engaging, accessible assets.

    • Connect past content to future events by turning on your upcoming event calendar, adding registration links, and using banner ads to promote your biggest campaigns or conferences right inside the hub.

    • Watch analytics and iterate-review which videos and channels drive the most viewing and registrations, then use those insights to shape your next events and content plan.

    To dive deeper into each of these moves-and see more examples of how Events+ tackles scattered content, slow publishing, low engagement, and limited analytics-check out "The Ultimate Guide to Repurposing Event Videos with Events+" on Cvent Community.

    It walks through the core problems, the specific Events+ features that solve them, and a practical blueprint to turn your recordings into a true always‑on engagement engine.


    To keep the conversation going:

    • How are you currently storing and sharing your event recordings, and what's the biggest headache with your current setup?

    • If you had an always‑on video hub today, which three sessions or recordings would you feature first?

    • For those already using Events+: what's one tip you'd share for organizing channels or using analytics to refine your content strategy?

    @Kerry Plowman, Thanks for sharing this. 

    We've recently started testing Events+, and I noticed that the video title and description from the video library are exposed directly in Events+. Since there is no dedicated space for internal notes, it's a bit challenging to maintain consistent video governance at the account level.

    It also seems that there is currently no report or dashboard that allows us to review or manage the metadata (e.g., titles, descriptions) of videos stored in the library in a centralized way.

    I heard that additional Events+ updates are planned for this month and throughout Q2–Q3. Are there any upcoming improvements or roadmap updates related to internal metadata management, note‑taking capabilities, or enhanced library reporting?
