    Hi everyone! We are ready to get started with our Huddle of the Week!

    Cvent CONNECT is just 1 month away, and it's shaping up to be THE ultimate event prof experience! This year's conference promises incredible connections and energy. With more than 2,000 event professionals expected to attend, this is an unbeatable opportunity to meet face-to-face with the best in the industry to swap best practices, find new ideas, and make friendships that last a lifetime.

    There are only a few days left to join us in person in Las Vegas, and we wanted to make sure you didn't miss out on all the excitement!

    Some of the sessions that we highly recommend for event profs include:

    • General Session: Event Marketing & Management Product Roadmap
    • From Thinking to Doing: Tackling Sustainability Goals Within Your Meetings & Events
    • The Power of Inclusive Design with Award-winning Production Designer, Hannah Beachler
    • How to Build a Community With Your Events: Best Practices for Engagement
    • How Designing with Purpose Leads to Epic Storytelling with Pixar's Art Director, Deanna Marsigliese

    • What are your favorite memories from attending Cvent CONNECT in-person? If you haven't attended before, what are you most looking forward to?  This will be my first Cvent CONNECT, and I can't wait to learn some tips and tricks, and see some new uses that I haven't seen before!
    • What's your favorite thing to do in Vegas?  This will be my second time in Vegas, and I'm looking forward to see the architecture and building design, and to hopefully eat at some fun restaurants.

      • The party on the beach at Mandalay Bay where we were all dancing in the zero-entry area of the pool to an amazing band. That stands out as my favorite entertainment I've ever attended at Connect.

      • I love people watching on the strip, and I always try to catch a show and try a cool restaurant. And Dr. Fish in the Miracle Mile shops is the BEST way to relax your feet, haha!
