Cvent, a leading provider of hospitality technology, has unveiled a series of AI-driven product offerings aimed at hoteliers and hospitality professionals. These new solutions, part of the Cvent Supplier Network (CSN), include features like natural language search and AI-enabled property matching. The announcement was made during the Hospitality Cloud Product Roadmap Session at Cvent CONNECT, held from June 10 to 13.

Jim Abramson, Vice President of Product Management at Cvent, highlighted the company's approach: "Our product development strategy prioritizes a practical application of AI across our platform that maximizes impact while minimizing the effort required from our users to access it. We plan to continue investing in new and innovative ways to combine the power of AI with our decades of data-driven insights to help hotel teams achieve even better group business results."

Key AI-Powered Features:

AI-Enabled Matching: Automatically aligns hotels, venues, or destinations with planners searching for specific dates, streamlining the matching process and enhancing sales team efficiency.

Customized Prospecting Pitches: Allows hoteliers to create effective and targeted communications to attract their desired audience.

Natural Language Search: Enables planners to perform intuitive searches for hotels and destinations using conversational language.

Automated RFP Responses: Utilizes a hotel or venue’s historical RFP responses and CSN profile information to generate instant answers to Custom Questions from planners, reducing response time.

RFP Agenda Builder: Assists planners in quickly creating comprehensive agendas, improving the planner experience and ensuring hoteliers receive necessary information for event execution.

AI Diagram Assistant: Incorporates natural language functionality to help hotel operations teams produce precise, customized floor plans and room layouts within Cvent Event Diagramming.

Additionally, Cvent has integrated its room block management system, Cvent Passkey, with Maestro’s property management system as of April this year.

These innovations are designed to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and enhance the overall experience for both hotel teams and event planners. With these AI-powered tools, Cvent aims to provide hoteliers with more qualified requests for proposals (RFPs) and better group business results.
