Cvent has announced the return of Cvent Accelerate Singapore 2026, the fifth edition of its flagship Asia Pacific conference for event planners, marketers and hospitality professionals. Scheduled to take place on 6 August 2026 at Fairmont Singapore, the conference will bring together professionals from the events and marketing industry to examine how artificial intelligence (AI), data and Event-Led Growth (ELG) are reshaping business events into measurable drivers of business growth.
Over the past four years, Cvent Accelerate Singapore has established itself as a networking platform for professionals across the events, hospitality and marketing sectors to exchange ideas, share best practices and discuss trends influencing the industry. This year’s fifth edition also marks the first Cvent Accelerate event in the Asia Pacific region following the company’s recently unveiled global brand identity.
“Cvent Accelerate Singapore has been the region’s premier forum for event, hospitality and marketing professionals for the past four years. The fifth edition is particularly significant as it’s the first in Asia Pacific since our global brand transformation, and it arrives at a moment when AI is fundamentally changing what events can do. We’re bringing together the industry’s most forward-thinking leaders to share what’s working, explore what’s possible and push the conversation forward,” said Will Kataria, Country Head & Senior Director, Asia Pacific, Cvent.
The conference programme will include keynote presentations, executive panel discussions, breakout sessions, live technology demonstrations and networking opportunities. Discussions will focus on AI innovation and the future of event technology, event return on investment (ROI) and business impact, strategic planning in the AI era, and sustainable, high-impact event experiences.
Featured sessions include:
- Decoding the Shift: B2B Event Trends & The Path Forward in the AI Age

As the first Cvent Accelerate event in Asia Pacific under Cvent’s new global brand identity, the 2026 Singapore edition aims to provide a forum for industry professionals to exchange perspectives, learn from peers and explore the technologies and strategies shaping the future of business events.
