CVENT AUS GROWTH

CVENT will further expand its Australian operations after opening its Melbourne office earlier this year.

Jack Ukil, director of sales for Australia, said with Cvent recruiting 200 positions globally, Australia was at the forefront for expansion.

“We will continue to expand in Australia and hire more sales and customer service professionals,” he said.

He added the company already had thousands of existing Cvent users in Australia and New Zealand, and believed there is plenty of room for growth.

“There is a lot of green field ahead of us and Australia embraces event management technology,” he said.

“We plan to continue to expand our team on the ground and capitalise on the event-tech boom in this region.”

Cvent’s Melbourne office employs sales and customer service professionals for both the event and hospitality sides of Cvent’s Australian operations.

The company is also expanding its platform to offer a full array of meetings, events and travel solutions.

Cvent employs more than 2,600 people globally & signed 775 new customers this year.
