pan>)--Cvent, the worlds largest cloud-based provider of event
management, venue
selection and web
survey solutions, today announced that its founder and CEO, Reggie
Aggarwal, was named one of the 25 most influential people in the
meetings industry by Successful Meetings magazine. This is
Aggarwals second appearance on the list, which was previously published
by MeetingNews, the sister publication of Successful Meetings
magazine.
The editorial staff of Successful Meetings magazine and MeetingNews
selected the 25 influencers after reviewing highlights from the meetings
industry in 2011, and based on who they believe to have accomplished
initiatives that would have a lasting impact on the meetings industry.
Aggarwal was the first influencer to be announced in the 2011 list. In
previous years, the list has featured several notable figures, including
the CEOs of Marriott, Maritz, Expedia, Priceline and United Airlines.
Aggarwal was first recognized on the list in 2001, when Cvent was just a
25-person start-up offering one product. Today, the global meetings
management technology company has four product lines, more than 900
employees and over 90,000 users in 50 countries. Aggarwal has
successfully navigated Cvent through two recessions and, most recently,
led the company through a $136 million investment, which is the largest
investment in the history of the meetings and events technology industry.
The magazine is highlighting one member from the list each week, with a
full list being distributed in July. More information can be found here: http://www.successfulmeetings.com/Event-Planning/conference-management/A....
