Hello Cvent community! I'm on the conference planning committee for a mid-sized regional education conference. We recently decided to host our conference fully virtually, and will be using Cvent as the platform for the conference. We use a separate registration system, but plan to use Cvent to create a conference website to host concurrent sessions in virtual "rooms" (using Cvent's built-in Zoom capabilities). We will also have virtual poster sessions, and would like to have a message board for attendees as well.
I'm just trying to get started building out the website, but although I've managed to create a fake conference event and several fake sessions with the built-in Zoom links, I can't figure out how to build out the website at all. For example, when I use the Site Designer under Website & Registration > Event Website, I see that it lists out the agenda; but how do I link the sessions I've created to the agenda so that attendees can access them? And I haven't even begun to try to figure out the Attendee Hub! I've been watching the videos in the Cvent Academy, but they're all so focused on events with registration happening through the website, which does not apply to us.
I consider myself a relatively tech-savvy person, but despite the hours I've spent playing around in my Cvent account, watching training videos, and browsing around the Cvent community site, I feel no closer to understanding how any of this works than I was initially. Does anyone know of a useful set of resources for brand new people looking to build an all-virtual conference with no built-in registration?
Thanks!
