@Rachel Sigle thank you for your input. When briefly talking to Cvent about speaking they suggested some of the UofM user groups be part of a panel with other schools or universities to discuss their troubles and solutions with the platform. Get the planner's perspective not just from the admin side. When we have a new user group go through all the steps of kick-off meeting, setting up the event, going live, and completing the event we always do a debrief. We talk about what did they like, what didn't like, what they wish you knew prior to the event, and how we can improve for their next event.

I'm not part of your area, but being a cvent user, having attended Connect both in person and virtually, I can say it's always helpful when presenting if you can provide real world case examples and then how the cvent solution helped you overcome/achieve the desired outcome. Most people can learn the basics on their own, it's hearing about unique ways you're making the system work for you, with examples, that I always find the most beneficial when attending.

Hello Everone,
I am in discussions with Cvent to be a presenter for CONNECT 2023. I thought I would post here for topics ideas the higher-ed group might be interested in learning more about.
A quick background about me. I work in the Office Of Development at the University of Michigan and work with many units in the development community. Myself and team members are considered experts in Event Management but are not event planners. We do all the training and onboarding of all account users for our two instances of Cvent. We keep the users, user groups, and user roles. We are the administrators of Cvent for the University of Michigan
We are thinking of topics, but any input would be very much appreciated.
