You know how the saying goes "What happens in Vegas... ends up in your CONNECT daily recap!" 😊 It's been a truly unforgettable week – with an incredible in-person and virtual audience.

 

   

After a few days of intense learning and CONNECTing, attendees wrapped up the conference and made their way into their weekend. Our attendees come back year after year for the amazing content and the learning opportunities and that's what is being served to them.

CONNECT | That's a wrap! 

The superhero meetings and planning team onsite who worked around the clock. (And just for fun….Meet the Cvent CONNECT Planning Team) 

 

This week has been filled with inspirational sessions, engaging meetups, and so much excitement! We know we've been sharing a lot with you, so here's a quick recap.

I enjoyed the sessions and learning about products on the roadmap, but the networking was my favorite! I especially appreciated the opportunity to meet Hannah Beachler and Cvent's Bella Marino!

I wish I had pictures but only could attend virtually this year!
I always enjoy the sessions and hearing about updates that Cvent has made, new trends, and about new Cvent products.

• Share your learnings from Cvent CONNECT this year - the new advancements in Branding & Theming! I was part of an amazing UX panel discussion. Also the keynote speakers brought a unique perspective of design, thoughtfulness of placement and how they make such an impact. And most importantly, NOTHING will replace the impact of in person events!
• Share a photo if you have one :)

• Share your learnings from Cvent CONNECT this year. Stil playing catch up - I'm most eager to watch the segment on Higher education. The tips of the trade was excellent and I really enjoyed Reggie's address. He is always engaging!
• Share a photo if you have one :). Attended virtually from home and with a sick kid it was a PJ party Cvent Connect style lol.

• Share your learnings from Cvent CONNECT this year - I always find the trend info to be the most interesting, as well as being super-helpful. I think it's especially useful this year as we all shift back to in-person events because there have been real changes in the tech as well as in how attendees are thinking & feeling
• Share a photo if you have one :) - No photos, because I was a virtual attendee, and glad to have that option

First timer attending CVENT CONNECT. Nice work on creating an impressive experience! Since I'm a hotelier, in a more remote area, like the Oregon Coast, and can only accommodate up to 100 guests, hoping for some feedback from you planners - if you use CVENT for smaller groups too? Enjoyed meeting some of you even on day three! Cheers from Florence, Oregon!
