Excel Meetings and Events Upgrades to Cvent Enterprise Edition
Enhanced web-based registration and eMarketing software solution at the center of meeting management firm’s business-to-business event marketing offerings

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - June 19, 2006
Excel Meetings and Events, a premier San Francisco-based meeting management and business-to-business event marketing company, today announced that they have upgraded to Cvent’s Enterprise Edition software solution for web-based event registration. Cvent provides web-based event registration and eMarketing software solutions for customers nationwide. The Enterprise Edition solution from Cvent adds greater flexibility and efficiency for users who create and deploy custom query fields and event micro websites, set up pre and post event surveys and questionnaires, and handles financial transactions and reconciliation for multiple events.

“The Enterprise edition improves workflow and expands the features we offer to our clients who produce and manage conferences, workshops and customer events. We can offer great flexibility in the development of event “micro” websites that contain important agenda information, questionnaires and surveys, and registration forms. This upgrade also gives us multiple Versign accounts that enable us to more efficiently handle and process fees and reconcile accounts when we are running several events simultaneously. This efficiency reduces costs to our clients.” said Donna Valentine, president, Excel Meetings and Events.

“This upgrade also enhances our business-to-business event marketing services. For over a year now Cvent’s web-based registration and email marketing solutions have been stalwart components of our event marketing methodology that is designed to increase awareness and build attendance for our client’s important events. Our goal as an organization is to help increase the value of our clients meetings and events by providing strategic event marketing and communications services, as well as flawless event planning and logistics,” said Jon Wollenhaupt, vice president, Excel Meetings and Events.
