Methodology
For Cvent Top Meeting Destinations, Cvent evaluated 12,500+
cities worldwide listed on the Cvent Supplier Network (CSN).
Activity was tracked between January 2023 and December 2023.
Rankings were determined by a set of qualifying criteria,
including: the number of total room nights booked; the number of
unique electronic request-for-proposals (RFPs) sent through the
marketplace to venues within the city; the total value of the RFPs
submitted; and the actual awarded value for meetings booked.
For Cvent Top Meeting Hotels, Cvent evaluated hotel properties
that generated business through the CSN between January 2023 and
December 2023. The properties were ranked according to various
criteria, including total requests for proposals (RFPs), awarded
RFPs, total room nights, awarded room nights, major metropolitan
area market share, conversion rate, and response rate. The criteria
are designed to provide the most accurate reflection of the top
meeting hotels in North America, Europe, the Middle East and
Africa, and Asia-Pacific regions.
