Two independent recognitions - one measuring real career outcomes based on workforce data, one driven by direct employee feedback - confirm Cvent's commitment to building meaningful careers and a people-first culture

TYSONS, Va.: #SaaS--Cvent, an industry-leading meetings, events, and hospitality technology provider, has earned Platinum recognition on the inaugural 2026 Where You Work Matters List, a new independent benchmark that rates how effectively major U.S. employers create real career opportunity, measured by actual workforce outcomes rather than company self-reporting. Cvent is among ~115 technology companies, out of the more than 1,750 employers assessed, to earn the overall Platinum recognition. Other Platinum-ranked organizations include Adobe, Amazon, Autodesk, DocuSign, HubSpot, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Qualtrics, SAP, and Salesforce. The company also received the 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplaces award, based on confidential employee feedback.

Together, these recognitions - one grounded in independent labor market data and one in direct employee voice - offer a compelling, multi-dimensional picture of Cvent as an employer at a time when the company is in an active growth phase and AI is reshaping the future of work.

"We've invested intentionally in building a culture where people feel supported and empowered to grow their careers," said Reggie Aggarwal, Cvent CEO and Founder. "These awards are especially meaningful because they reflect both independent workforce data and the first-hand experiences of our own people. Whether individuals are just starting out or stepping into new leadership roles, we want them to find a place at Cvent - and seeing that confirmed from these high-caliber organizations makes it all the more significant."

A New Benchmark for Employer Quality: The Where You Work Matters List

The Where You Work Matters List is powered by the American Opportunity Index, a joint project of the Schultz Family Foundation and the Burning Glass Institute, developed in partnership with the Project on Managing the Future of Work at Harvard Business School. The List rates nearly 55,000 jobs across 1,750 U.S.-based employers, using the publicly available career progression data of more than 12 million American workers. In a time of rapid change and mounting economic instability, the List highlights companies with highly effective workforce strategies that provide them with a differentiated business advantage toward innovation, productivity, and brand loyalty.

Cvent's Platinum badge - the program's highest recognition level - reflects organizational excellence across three categories: early career opportunity, job advancement and development, and long-term stability. Platinum recognition signals that Cvent is not only attracting talent but actively advancing it at every level.

"The Where You Work Matters List provides essential new transparency about how well major American employers enable workers to advance in their careers, receive leading wages and be retained in their roles," said Rajiv Chandrasekaran, Managing Director of the Schultz Family Foundation. "The List offers workers new intelligence in a job market shaken by AI advancements and economic pressures. It also allows employers to celebrate their successes and identify how they can better serve their workers across their entire organization."
