Cvent, an industry-leading meetings, events, and hospitality technology provider, honoured the finalists and winners of the 2025 annual Cvent Excellence Awards during its annual customer and industry conference, Cvent CONNECT Europe. The annual awards programme celebrates hotels, destinations, event professionals, and marketers from leading organisations that use Cvent technology to boost efficiency and maximise ROI across their event programmes and MICE initiatives. Britain’s Got Talent star, Joseph Charm, honoured finalists and winners during a live ceremony event held both in-person at the InterContinental London – The O2 and online. Their accomplishments will be featured throughout the year in case studies, webinars, and other thought leadership content.
With hundreds of nominations across diverse categories, the selection process involved a rigorous evaluation of candidates based on their innovative application of technology to improve collaboration, programme efficiency, and overall organisational success.
“These awards serve as a powerful testament to what can be achieved when dedicated professionals harness the power of cutting-edge technology,” said Andreas Heckmann, Chief Customer Officer at Cvent. “This year’s winners and finalists are not merely embracing innovation, they are redefining the standards of success in the meetings, events, and hospitality sector.
