    Great tips! Always love the ideas tab and upvoting but then I never see much in terms of like 'hey an idea you upvoted is being implemented'. is there a way to do that? or maybe get a digest of popular ideas that maybe need your contribution to upvote as well?

    Hi @Rachel Sigley, that's great feedback. I definitely think there should be [louder] feedback mechanisms and more ways for community members to be aware of other great submitted products ideas that need help upvoting. I'll work on it and may reach out to get your feedback on the ideas if that's ok. ​

    I 100% agree with 5 & 6. I hit the ground running when I started using Cvent... and both training & knowledge articles were life savers!

    Product trainings and the knowledge base are a life saver when you're first getting started. It can be a little cumbersome to navigate/find exactly what you need in the knowledge base because there is just so much info, but the step by step instructions are all incredibly helpful

    Thank you for these helpful tips. Don't forget to attend Connect there's a great basic session, "Feature Flash: Design and Execute Safer In-Person Events Using Cvent Diagramming and Seating" which is on demand now.

    Great tips! The Cvent resources and community boards are very helpful not just for experienced users looking for a specific answer to a Cvent challenge - but also to our new staff, who are learning the best practices as they become familiar with the platform.  Our team also takes advantage of all the available online training, for an in-depth view of building, managing, and reporting out events.
