Marketing Challenges International, Inc. (MCIntl) is pleased to announce a marketing alliance with Cvent, the leading provider of event management, site selection, and event sourcing (eRFP) software solutions. MCIntl, the North American marketing and sales agency for leading international destinations and convention centers, welcomes Cvent to its existing network of strategic partners, which includes media giant Nielsen Business Media and advertising & design firm Soubriet Byrne & Associates, Inc.
As part of the marketing partnership, international event planners can now access Cvent’s Destination Guide at mcintl.com. The Cvent Destination Guide is an informational resource designed especially for meeting and event organizers to research and source venues worldwide. For each of MCIntl’s featured destinations, website visitors can learn about that destination’s peak season information, meetings promotions, average lodging rates, local attractions, popular restaurants, convention centers, transportation pricing, and more.
From the Destination Guide, international event organizers can also access Cvent’s free online site-selection and electronic Request for Proposal (eRFP) platform, the Cvent Supplier Network. Users can search for event venues, send eRFPs, and receive bids back from suppliers on their free Cvent Supplier Network account. Additionally, venues and event service providers can showcase their venue or services to over 160,000 meeting and event planners all at no cost. Cvent does not charge commission or transaction fees or impose any other costs for use of the Cvent Supplier Network.
Michel Couturier, President and founder of MCIntl, praised Cvent for its innovation and said, “We are ecstatic about our new partner, Cvent. Aside from being a leader in the industry, they are a global, energetic, forward-thinking company – eager to explore ways to increase options for the buyers’ and suppliers’ benefit. We are delighted that our clients, including both our international destinations and North American based organizers of international events, whom we assist free of charge, will both benefit from our partnership with Cvent.”
MCIntl currently is the North American marketing and sales agency for Barcelona, Berlin, and Vienna – three of the top five destinations in the world for association meetings, according to the International Congress & Convention Association’s (ICCA) rankings for 2008. Jacqueline Hewitt, Vice President of Sales for MCIntl, added, “The key word these days is Value, and value does not mean low prices; value includes benefits that are not quantifiable. Our international destination, venue, and North American event planner clients know we consistently deliver great value, and our strategic alliances, with companies like Cvent, enable us to do so.”
