Cvent Webinar - Make it Matter: The Must-Know Event Trends for 2026

It’s here, Cvent's annual webinar where we unveil the definitive trends that will shape the industry in 2026.

Backed by Cvent platform intelligence, research, and real-world program insights, this session translates 2026’s biggest shifts into practical plays you can put to work immediately—whether you’re planning, marketing, or hosting events.

We’ll unpack why trust is becoming a true brand differentiator, why “tech-savvy” now applies across every generation, where AI is moving to measurable impact, how emotional storytelling turns attention into action, and more.

In this session, we’ll share: 

  • How to design and host events that build trust, driving stronger outcomes.

  • Tips on making technology intuitive for every generation, including what attendees expect from AV, live interaction tools, and frictionless digital experiences.

  • Where AI delivers real lift across the event lifecycle, and the guardrails that keep it measurable and safe.

  • Ways to use storytelling and collaborate with venues and vendors to create memorable moments as engagement becomes a primary metric of event success.
