    I'm really glad you have a virtual option this year!  There's no way I could attend in person, so it's nice to have options.

    Hi Dara!

    • What are your favorite memories from attending Cvent CONNECT in-person? If you haven't attended before, what are you most looking forward to?
      Soooo many great memories! Learning in the tech area, visiting the vendor booths, hearing some great presentations, after parties, networking, getting a professional photo (thank you!). Sad I will miss it this year!
    • What's your favorite thing to do in Vegas?
      I actually don't like Vegas :D, so I just stick to all things Cvent when I'm there for CONNECT.

    • What are your favorite memories from attending Cvent CONNECT in-person? If you haven't attended before, what are you most looking forward to? 
      • I attended in person a few years ago, and my favourite part was the in training sessions / when I had the opportunity to sit down one on one with a Cvent specalist to go over very specific questions I had for our Cvent account (that could not really be asked in a group setting that would apply to others). I found it very helpful. 
    • What's your favorite thing to do in Vegas?
      • I love going into all the different hotels, each one has Such a different and cool vibe inside. SO much fun!

    • What's your favorite thing to do in Vegas? I have never been but have heard some crazy stories. I would love to go to some of the shows there/see the strip and then head out to some national parks LOL
