What is YOUR go-to engagement tactic?

We rely on networking events and connecting people with similar interests. In the past we did that manually, by suggesting activities and tables. Now we're excited with the AI feature in Attendee Hub and are looking forward to utilizing it to improve our networking events. 

What topic would you be interested in learning about at a future Customer Success Group?

I would love to learn how people managed their data in Attendee Hub and what are some of the KPIs they used to determine Attendee Hub's success rate.
