Hello,
Cvent Connect was an interesting experience! It's a bit different being on the attendee side of a virtual experience.
One thing that we are looking at implementing is increasing our ability to have interactive sessions. We put on a number of webinars, but now we are looking at small group workshops, which is harder to move to virtual. Taking advantage of some advanced features of our video system such as polls, Q&A, chat, feedback, raise hand, collaborative whiteboard will be key.
If you only watch one session, watch the Tuesday Fireside Chat, not just for the content, which is a bit too general, but to observe the production that went into the session: having an MC that is able to smoothly switch between different panelists is crucial, and that intimate conversation feel made for an engaging session despite the fact that it was pre-recorded and so had no interactivity.
I am looking forward to the full-fledged Attendee Hub. I was very disappointed with where it's at right now: the attendee-to-attendee interaction was inexistant, and the interaction with the speakers during the sessions seriously lacking. For a conference that kept preaching that virtual events need to be interactive to retain attendees, it was in itself a bad example! I think the Attendee Hub and matching app are promising, but far from ready.
Cheers,
