Cvent AttendeeHub features both the attendee website and the event app and is now our recommended solution for powering virtual event experiences. There are still a few features that you have seen in crowdcompass that aren't yet available with the attendeehub so for in person events, we are still recommending CrowdCompass for the rest of 2020. Ultimately, AttendeeHub will replace CrowdCompass. But don't worry CrowdCompass isn't going anywhere anytime soon. It is full supported and still powers hundreds of events every month. There is no formal timeline right now but we know that CrowdCompass will be fully supported through 2021.

I'm still a little confused regarding the Event App part of the Virtual Attendee Hub. Is this only for virtual content? How does a hybrid program operate? We currently use the Crowd Compass App for in person events. How will this work alongside the Virtual Attendee Hub or is there another solution in the pipeline?

HI Beline
Thanks for joining us at Connect! My sessions will be coming very soon in September. One on One virtual appointments are supported today for Exhibitor appointments and we will be introducing support for all attendee to attendee appointments in Q4.
For exhibitors, we do have a fair amount of functionality available today in the virtual attendee hub like Exhibitor and Sponsor listings, Exhibitor Documents, Sponsored Sessions, Video Conferencing and Inbound leads. You may find the Virtual Attendee Hub actually is a great fit for your event now.
As for the Event App part of Virtual Attendee Hub, it's actually available now. We launched the early adopted in March and we went into General Availability on august 1st. The great thing is that it's all on one platform and it's one unified solution.

Hello McNeel,
It's thrilling seeing a bit of what Cvent is working on with the Engagement Hub. While I've been enjoying Cvent Connect so far, it is my understanding that many features are not yet available. Do you have a timeline for when features such as My Sessions and One-on-One Appointments between attendees will become available?
In the meantime, and since our events do not have exhibitor and sponsors as a big component, we are considering using CrowdCompass to add a bit of that engagement layer to our virtual events, using both the desktop and app versions. That said, I know you will eventually sunset CrowdCompass in favor of the app you are building alongside the Engagement Hub. Any timeline on that as well? Will clients who have CrowdCompass be shifted into that new app?
Thank you!
