Cvent Continues Strong Growth, Expands Team, and Opens New International Offices
Cvent,
Inc., the market leader in cloud-based meetings, events and travel
technology, today announced strong company growth that includes an
intention to hire 200 employees by the end of 2017 and a new office
expansion strategy to fuel its continued customer growth.
"At Cvent (News - Alert), we have a strong track record of delivering robust
year-over-year growth in the huge and largely untapped market for
meetings, events and travel technology. 2017 has continued to propel
growth, as we have expanded the platform to now include Cvent Passkey
and Business Transient solutions. We also have announced new innovations
in our Event Cloud with the new Cvent Flex, and on our Hospitality Cloud
with the new Cvent Supplier Network and Business Intelligence," said
Reggie Aggarwal (News - Alert), founder and CEO of Cvent. "Recruiting talent has always
been a priority for Cvent, and as an entrepreneur and CEO, I'm
incredibly passionate about job creation. This year, we are looking to
hire more than 200 people around the world to meet our increased growth,
and we've opened new offices in APAC in order to meet the demand in that
region."
Specific growth highlights include:
-
Strengthening the platform and technology: Cvent is expanding
its platform to offer a full spectrum of meetings, events and travel
solutions. Most notable are the integrations of the Passkey and
Business Transient solutions into the Cvent platform, which open up
new ways for planners to interact with hoteliers while providing
hotels with new, highly-targeted marketing channels designed to
increase revenue per available room (REVPAR). Other notable product
innovations include:
-
Investing in people: Cvent has been actively hiring a wide
range of technology, customer support and operational positions. The
company employs more than 2,600 people and expects to hire 200 more
people globally by the end of 2017, with more than half of the
positions in the U.S.
-
Increasing international presence: Cvent has opened additional
international offices and expanded its presence in existing markets
outside of the U.S. to support a growing global client base. The
company now operates 12 offices worldwide across four continents. Most
recently, Cvent opened new offices in Singapore and Melbourne,
Australia, to provide deeper regional support to the Asia-Pacific
market.
-
Adding new customers. Cvent is adding new customers to the
platform and there is strong growth in both the Event and Hospitality
Clouds. So far in 2017, the Event Cloud has signed more than 775 new
customers, including many enterprise clients in the Fortune 500, and
the Hospitality Cloud has added more than 1,050 new customers,
including many luxury brands around the world.
"We see that there is a huge opportunity for us to continue leading the
industry in innovation for both the buyers and suppliers of the meetings
and events industry. Each day, more planners and hotels are discovering
Cvent, while an increasing number of current customers are leveraging
additional elements of the Cvent platform to increase event ROI and
group business profitability," continued Aggarwal.
