Customer stories


Autodesk Global Sourcing

“The Cvent Supplier Network enables the team to source venues using unique criteria and filters. Rather than having every single hotel follow up with us individually, they'll go through the NSO and it's very efficient. It saves us tons of time.”

Gigi Gleason, Sr. Manager, Global Meetings Solutions

Federal Conference

“The Cvent Supplier Network is like a one-stop shop. I put all my information into a database and because they have such a wide visibility, people call me. I don't have to call them. So, it saved me a lot of time, energy, and money.”

Faye Crenshaw, Event Planner
