Welcome to the brand-new Third Party Event Planning Agencies Cvent Community (wow, that's a mouthful - maybe I should call us T-PEP, since we all have a lot of spirit, LOL!) I'm very excited that you have joined us - this particular community is a curated space designed specifically for those of us using the Cvent platform as part of a third-party agency. Yes, this means we will have folks from competing agencies in discussions, but that means we are also uniquely in tune to each other's challenges and needs. Please approach discussions with respect and discretion, and I believe we can connect, help, and learn a lot from each other!
I invite everyone to bring their experience and questions to our forum, no matter your level of experience with Cvent. Everyone's voice adds value! With that in mind, I'd like to start us off with the traditional icebreaker thread so we can meet all you great members of T-PEP (yep, I'm making fetch happen!) I'll kick it off - feel free to copy and paste the questions and replace with your answers!
- Your company and location (and are you in-house or remote?)
- I'm an Event Technology Specialist with Direct Travel, working remotely out of Colorado Springs.
- How long have you been in the industry?
- I've been doing event planning for eight years
- Tell me one random fact about yourself:
- I was an extra in a Ben Affleck movie in the 90's.
Finally (and really, most important)
- What should we call this community for short? (Because I really don't want to type "Third Party Event Planning Agencies Cvent Community" every time!) Let's get some suggestions and I'll set up a vote! Or I solemnly promise I will keep calling it T-PEP (or fetch).
