Cvent evaluated 1,000 cities and 200 major metropolitan areas  in the U.S. on the Cvent Supplier Network to create the list. Activity was tracked between July 2011 and June 2012.

The ranking was then determined by a set of qualifying criteria, some of which included: the number of total room nights booked through the Cvent Supplier Network; the number of unique electronic request-for-proposals (RFPs) sent through the marketplace to venues within the city; the total value of the RFPs submitted; and the actual awarded value for meetings booked.
