What Makes A Good Event Manager?
Our recently conducted LinkedIn poll of Event Professionals asking them “What Makes A Good Event Manager?” yielded an overwhelming response, with over 4,000 entries and over 100 comments. Examining this data revealed that a good Event Manager needs to be able to wear many hats – possessing broad knowledge and diverse skill sets – in order for the events they manage to run smoothly from start to finish.
This further serves as a testament to just how critical Event Managers are in our industry! To help summarize the results into digestible information we’ve created an infographic highlighting these key findings.

Why Your Presenters’ Experience Matters: A Podcast with Cvent
The more event speakers can focus on the engagement opportunity of presenting instead of worrying about the technology involved, the more they get out of the entire experience. In fact, I’d argue your presenter’s experience is more valuable than the attendee’s experience. So how do you ensure it goes off without a hitch? Technology and automation.
