Case Study: Summit Professional Education achieves $230,000 annual cost savings and 10 hours/week time savings with Cvent

Summit Professional Education - Customer Case Study

Summit Professional Education is a 30-person company that produces more than 2,700 live workshops a year to help allied health professionals earn continuing education credit. With a three-person Events team, venue sourcing was a highly manual, time-consuming process—up to 30 hours per week—relying on old relationships, limited bids, and repeated properties, which constrained growth and operational efficiency.

By adopting the Cvent Supplier Network for venue sourcing, Summit streamlined bidding and expanded its supplier pool, adding 238 new properties and receiving an average of six rates per RFP. The team saved about 10 hours per week, lowered cost per workshop from $757 to $694 (about $230,000 annual savings), improved locations and negotiation leverage, and saw attendance rise as much as 60% in some markets.
