This acquisition reinforces Cvent’s commitment to setting the industry standard for immersive 3D event diagramming technology that benefits event and hospitality professionals.
The benefits of immersive and interactive event design technology include:
For Hoteliers and Venue Operators

2.) Elevated Sales and Marketing – Dynamic 3D virtual tours enable prospects to explore every aspect of a property and meeting space from anywhere.
3.) Improved Customization and Competitive Differentiation – Offers event design technology that can set hoteliers apart with personalized virtual “walkthroughs” with branded elements help bring a prospect’s vision to life and leave a lasting impression.
For Event Professionals
1.) Simplified Sourcing – When time and budgets are constrained, online diagramming tools accelerate and optimize the venue sourcing process via virtual site visits and accurate space visualization. This helps planners quickly identify which venues best suit their needs based on layout, capacity, and overall fit.
2.) Enhanced Planning – Precision floor plans and templates enhance the ability to visualize layouts, seating arrangements, and decor, ensuring precise planning and execution. Planners can easily identify potential issues and adjust before the event, leading to a smoother and more successful experience.
For Both Hospitality and Event Professionals:
1.) Improved Collaboration – Cloud-based diagramming enables real-time collaboration with all stakeholders and decision-makers.
2.) Seamless Communication – With advanced spatial design tools, planners can share detailed virtual representations of event spaces with clients, vendors, and stakeholders. This fosters better communication and simplifies decision-making.
