Meetings & Incentives Worldwide, Inc. (M&IW) was named a finalist for the 2020 Cvent Excellence Awards, part of the world’s largest event technology user conference, Cvent CONNECT. The company was named a finalist in the “Pivotal Partner” category. This new award recognizes Cvent Partners who harness the power of the Cvent platform to deliver unparalleled event experiences for their clients. These partners leverage event technology to demonstrate industry-leading expertise, creating stellar attendee experiences, improved efficiencies, and a clear return on investment for their clients.

The awards program, hosted by market-leading meetings, events, and hospitality technology provider Cvent, is now in its eighth year and recognizes industry leaders from a diverse set of organizations who use Cvent technology to deliver best-in-class events in new and inspiring ways. 

“With more than 300,000 users worldwide, we have an incredible user base that continues to elevate their organizations,” said Patrick Smith, chief marketing officer at Cvent. “We received hundreds of submissions this year, and the finalists are leading examples of how to harness the power of the Cvent platform to drive innovation and influence business results. We’re excited to announce the winners at Cvent CONNECT in August.”

“We are proud and honored to have been selected as a finalist in this new Cvent award category. M&IW has embraced the role of Cvent “Pivotal Partner” since 2008 as our teams continuously strive to leverage all aspects of the platform to run our business and support our clients,” said Lisa Palmeri, VP and Principal Consultant of Intent Strategy Group.
