    • Where are you located?  Fort Worth, TX
    • What is your role? Senior Manager, Events & Congresses
    • I want to connect with people who are implementing SMM in Cvent. 
    • What are the types of meetings/events you typically host and how are you handling your events over the next few months? We typically participate in other large congress events, but many of those for the next few months have cancelled outright. Very interested to hear what others in life sciences are planning for the late summer/fall. 
    • What Cvent feature has saved you the most time?  Having a web-based event record repository is our biggest time saver. Running reports based on that instead of creating them in Excel is huge. 
    • What's your favorite part of your job?  Engaging with customers and other staff that I don't get to see often,  and providing quality education for our brand portfolio.
