Cvent has announced the availability of its latest For Dummies® guide, Virtual Event Strategy For Dummies.
The new guide outlines how organisations can successfully develop effective virtual event strategies, design and execute engaging virtual experiences, and maximise virtual event ROI. Nearly 50,000 people have read Cvent’s For Dummies® series which covers topics for event planners and marketers such as Event Management Technology For Dummies, Strategic Meetings Management (SMM) For Dummies, and Event Marketing Strategy For Dummies.
The company unveiled its all-in-one virtual meeting solution, the Cvent Virtual Attendee Hub™, in August and in the last four months, various organisations have selected the platform to power their virtual and hybrid events.
Cvent has also expanded its Cvent Certification programme to include virtual events training and certifications. More than 10,000 industry professionals are now trained and certified in virtual events.
Patrick Smith, chief marketing officer, Cvent, said: “During the pandemic, virtual events quickly became an indispensable part of many organisations’ event programmes, and because of the massive registration and attendee intelligence they can deliver, they are here to stay.”
Smith continued: “However, many organisations struggle to understand and quantify the business impact of their virtual events, and have a difficult time seamlessly integrating them into a more well-rounded event strategy that incorporates the best of in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. With our deep industry expertise and first-hand experience helping thousands of our clients run more impactful virtual events, Virtual Event Strategy For Dummies, will be the go-to resources for marketer and event planners looking to maximise the impact of their total event programmes.”
David Palmer, brand director, Wiley, added: “We are proud to once again partner with Cvent and expand on their successful For Dummies series. 2020 was a banner year for virtual events and special editions like these give us the opportunity to highlight trending topics to our global audience and give them the guidance they need to thrive in their unique roles.”
