Case Study: Federal Conference achieves 50% faster sourcing and scalable event management with Cvent

Federal Conference - Customer Case Study

Federal Conference is a full-service event management firm that has planned more than 15,000 meetings and runs over 3,000 events annually. The team struggled with slow, manual sourcing—staff spent more than half their time just finding venues, managing bids in spreadsheets, and lacked reliable ways to measure negotiated savings and event ROI.

By adopting Cvent’s platform—particularly the Supplier Network, Event Management tools, and CrowdCompass—Federal Conference automated sourcing, sped venue searches with advanced filters, and tracked bids and analytics end-to-end. The result: a 50% reduction in sourcing timeline, stronger data-driven client reporting, expanded client engagement (e.g., NIB and AMD), and rapid business growth, culminating in $51M in revenue and a top ranking on the Inc. 500.
