Whether you are attending virtually, in-person, are a first-time attendee, or a long-time attendee, we know Cvent CONNECT 2023 will bring new experiences, learning opportunities, and memories to all.

    Cvent CONNECT 2023 has started and we loved seeing everyone's smiling faces as attendees arrived on Day 1– picking up the always popular Cvent swag and giving lots of hugs as they made their way to our Cvent Academy Training Camp and other experiences.

    Cvent Academy Training Camp

    We welcomed event professionals for a day of hands-on training, technology exploration, and product-focused deep dives – all centered around helping them harness the power of the Cvent platform.

    The booth opened for attendees to get their professional headshots taken by the well-renowned photographer Chuck Fazio. For attendees that were photographed on Monday, July 24th, download your headshots and upload your best one to your Community profile!

    • What are you most looking forward to this year at Cvent CONNECT?  I sadly missed a lot (virtually) due to a sick kid but I usually enjoy the online engagement. The challenges in Celebrity were a lot of fun!
    • What is one of your favorite memories from past CONNECTs?  Last year it was the race to the top. I found myself going to everything to try to win :).  Plus the virtual snack Magic box was a great gift for those of us at home to feel appreciated.

    I look forward to the expansion and knowledge Cvent has to offer!

    I really enjoyed the meditation sessions. It was a nice relief after a long day and it really helped me feel grounded. I am actually in the bottom right photo doing the meditation, which is cool to see and have memories of!
