DGNS Dragoneer Growth Opportunities Corporation II

Results and accolades demonstrate strong momentum and continued commitment to driving industry innovation  

Cvent, a market-leading meetings, events, and hospitality technology provider, today provides an update on continued momentum since the announcement of its transaction with Dragoneer Growth Opportunities Corp. II (Nasdaq: DGNS) in July. Over the past four months, Cvent has seen strong growth in its acquisition of new logos, including significant increases in initial contract values. The Company has also seen meaningful expansion within its existing customer base as organizations look to deliver more engaging in-person, virtual, and hybrid events; and tap into new opportunities that exist due to the digital transformation of meetings and events that was accelerated during the pandemic. The Company continues to be recognized as a leader in its industry, winning multiple awards highlighting excellence in technology innovation, executive leadership, and employee experience. To discuss the company’s progress and future outlook, Cvent CEO & Founder Reggie Aggarwal, and Chief Financial Officer Billy Newman, recently participated in an on-demand webcast, hosted by IPO Edge, that can be accessed here.

Business Highlights

Over the last four months, Cvent continued to see strong momentum in landing new logos and increasing initial contract values. In addition to the hundreds of smaller deals Cvent closed in the third quarter, the Company closed several large transactions including:

• A state transportation agency initially looking for a single virtual event solution, signed a 3-year deal with a total contract value (TCV) of $900,000. This organization will be using Cvent for their virtual, in-person, and hybrid events.
• A publicly traded pharma company signed a 2-year deal with a TCV of $1 million. This company chose Cvent due to the breadth and depth of Cvent’s platform and the seamless end-to-end user experience for all attendee-facing interactions.
• A global marketing association signed a 3-year contract for a TCV of nearly $900,000.
• A public IT service management company signed a 3-year contract for a TCV of nearly $546,000.
• An American racing company signed a 2-year contract for a TCV of approximately $190,000.
• A top three travel management company in Japan signed an annual contract value (ACV) of $260,000.

The third quarter also highlighted Cvent’s strong land and expand opportunity.

• Pre-pandemic, a mid-size, global financial advisory client that signed on with Cvent in 2016, had only leveraged Cvent for its in-person events. After leveraging Cvent for one virtual event that exceeded its event goals, the company signed a new contract with Cvent in the third quarter to run more virtual events, increasing the ACV from $17,000 to $545,000.
• A multi-national technology company with over 10,000 employees went from leveraging Cvent only for their flagship conference to now using Cvent for nearly all its internal and external events. This account has grown from $100,000 in 2019 to over $750,000 in contract value this year, with over $350,000 coming as expansion in the third quarter. With this expanded multi-year contract, the company has signed on with Cvent to support their event needs through 2023, further highlighting their confidence in the Cvent platform to meet their long-term needs.
• During the quarter, Cvent was also able to successfully expand its contract with a Fortune 500 Financial Services Institute, a Public Multinational Software Company, a State Education Association, a National Healthcare Association, a State Employee Retirement Agency, and a French consumer products company .

The deals highlighted above demonstrate the long runway Cvent has to sell more solutions inside its global install base.

In August, Cvent hosted its flagship Cvent CONNECT® customer conference in a hybrid environment for the first time, allowing in-person and virtual attendees to experience the power of the Cvent platform first-hand. The event brought together thousands in-person in Las Vegas and online to capitalize on the transformation of the trillion-dollar meetings and events industry. During the event, Cvent CEO & Founder Reggie Aggarwal shared insights on the pandemic-driven innovation and evolution that have transformed the meetings and events industry.

At Cvent CONNECT, the company announced the launch of Cvent Studio, a new solution that delivers powerful live stream and video production capabilities and further expands Cvent’s virtual and hybrid offerings. Cvent Studio enables marketers and planners to produce broadcast quality video content, through web-based solutions. The state-of-the-art functionality gives organizations the tools they need to up level their virtual events into immersive, fully branded experiences.

The Company has also continued to roll out new products and expand its industry partnerships, further strengthening the Cvent platform and its positioning as a market leader in the space.

• In August, Cvent expanded its partnership with Amadeus, a leading hospitality technology platform, to increase bookings for small meetings and events. With Cvent Instant Book, currently available as an Early Adopter pilot, planners will be able to easily book small meetings directly through the Cvent platform. The announcement further enhances Cvent’s ability to capitalize on the small meetings and events business.
• The Company also extended its long-standing strategic partnership with the largest global meetings and event industry association, Meeting Professionals International (MPI). Together, Cvent and MPI will continue to deliver educational opportunities and thought leadership content to MPI’s global community of more than 60,000 meeting and event professionals. In addition, Cvent’s technology will be used across MPI events, including its signature events, MPI World Education Congress (WEC) and the European Meetings and Events Conference (EMEC).
