Case Study: Budd Larner achieves 50% time savings and $1,400+ per seminar with Cvent Passkey

Using Cvent Passkey for Room Block Management Success

Budd Larner, a New Jersey law firm that runs year‑round seminars (up to 100 attendees for three‑night events in cities like Las Vegas, New York, and Chicago), faced persistent challenges managing hotel room blocks. Manual processes and delayed hotel rooming lists created data disconnects with registration, causing unfilled blocks, potential attrition, budget strain, and time-consuming back-and-forth coordination.

By adopting Cvent Passkey, the firm linked registration and room bookings, gained on‑demand rooming reports and dashboard visibility, and automated reminder emails to attendees. Over five years this improved workflow has delivered roughly 50% time savings, more than $1,400 saved per seminar (and thousands annually), near‑elimination of attrition, and has become a required feature when sourcing venues.
