Hi everyone! We are ready to start the week off with our Huddle of the Week!

Cvent CONNECT is next week and we are so excited! There are a few things that we want to make sure you haven't missed.

First, we have a Pre-CONNECT Meet-Up that is happening this week! There is still time to meet other people who are attending to help you with familiar faces on-site.

Join the Event Talks User Group to continue the conversation on the sessions you attended at Cvent CONNECT, and to learn more about the Pre-CONNECT Meet-Up.

Next, do you want to play a part in what is talked about in Cvent CEO Reggie Aggarwal's fireside chat? Make sure you comment on what you want to hear about.

Also, we have Community Meet-Ups that are now on the in-person agenda! These meet-ups are amazing opportunities to network with and learn from other Cvent users. Make sure to modify your agenda and sign up for these today!

If you are not already registered for Cvent CONNECT, there is still time to register virtually. Make sure you don't miss all of the great content that is going to be presented!

Questions for you:

• Are you attending the Pre-CONNECT Meet-Up?
• Are you ready for Cvent CONNECT?

We look forward to hearing from you in the comments below!

Hi all,

I am super excited to be attending the Pre-CONNECT Meet-Up today, hosted by my previous teammate, Michele Gebrayel! I'm so sad to miss the in-person event, but have passed the baton to our super-capable, Wonder Woman event manager, Regina Murray. I'll be catching some of the sessions virtually. 

Can't wait to learn, network, and see what Cvent has in store. Those of you attending in person - get ready to have your brain explode with great information, your belly to expand with yummy food, and your feet to hurt from all the walking to amazing sessions and after-parties!

Hi Cventers! 

• Are you attending the Pre-CONNECT Meet-Up? I did attend it and it was fun, I look forward to meeting those who joined on Monday afternoon.
• Are you ready for Cvent CONNECT? Yes, I noted a few of the tips shared at the meetup (Temperatures will be rough. I kind of wish CONNECT would have stayed in April, it was so nice to be able to eat outside last year). I really want this CONNECT to be more about networking. 

Looking forward to meeting many of you next week!
