Jumping into the Discussions

You are never too experienced or too new to ask a question in the Cvent Community!
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when you are posting your first discussion.

Search your keywords: Get answers faster by searching to see if someone has already posted a similar question. You can do so by going to the Search tab and searching under the “Search Open Forum” area.

Start with your goal: Start your question with the overall goal you are trying to achieve. If you ask a specific question without stating what your end goal is, you might miss out on some creative ways to solve your problem

Give context: Tell us a little about yourself and why this question has come up for you. The Cvent products are nuanced and can be utilized differently based on industry, size of the event and so much more. The more context you give the community, the better the responses receive will be!
