FREMONT, CA: Industry-leading meetings, events, and hospitality technology provider, Cvent, has announced that it has trained and certified more than 20,000 marketers, event planners, and hospitality professionals, over 1500 of which are in the APAC region, through its free training and certification program, to help them sharpen their skills, expand their industry expertise, enhance their resumes, and prepare for the future. The company is temporarily offering all of its Cvent Certifications and training programs to anyone in the industry free of charge.

“Planning and managing meetings has historically been a very tedious, manual process. Now, with the help of technology, event professionals are growing their event registration numbers, engaging with their attendees, increasing event satisfaction, and maximizing revenue. Cvent offers them the tools they need to optimize each stage of the event lifecycle and grow their ROI,” said Chris McAndrews, Vice President of Marketing. Cvent’s certificates are typically only offered to its customers and can cost up to SGD 2,500 for an individual to get certified and trained across the entire Cvent platform. The program also includes hundreds of free live, virtual training sessions and certification study groups, hosted by Cvent experts.

“In early March, when the global pandemic really began to impact those in the meetings, events, and hospitality industries, we were looking for opportunities to not just give back, but provide support in a way that could facilitate an even stronger industry post-pandemic,” said Cvent CMO, Patrick Smith. “In times like these, it’s critical that we all find ways to lift each other up, support our communities, and work towards a brighter future, and we’re committed to doing exactly that. We’re extremely proud to offer our industry-leading certifications and learning opportunities to all meeting, event, and hospitality professionals at no cost to them. Our goal is to train and certify tens of thousands of industry professionals, giving them the tools and skills they need to more quickly bounce back once things start to go back to normal – boosting not only their confidence and careers, but also the industry at-large.”
