This trend is further supported by Cvent’s 2025 Planner Sourcing Report: Asia Edition, which found that nearly 79 per cent of planners expect the number of in-person meetings to increase in 2025.
Cvent’s annual lists are also issued regionally for North America, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and for the first time this year, Latin America & Caribbean. Cvent also unveiled a new Top Lists category, the Top Venues and Vendors, which analyses data from the Cvent Vendor Marketplace.
