Attending Cvent Connect 2026 offers a wealth of opportunities for professional growth and networking. To ensure you extract maximum value from the event, strategic planning of your agenda is paramount. Megan Martin shares her expert approach to navigating the conference platform and curating a personalized experience.
Megan emphasizes starting your Cvent Connect journey by optimizing your Attendee Hub profile. Filling out interest markers is crucial, as this information feeds the platform's recommendation engines, ensuring you receive tailored suggestions for sessions and networking. Beyond the core agenda, explore programming options like Tech Tours, which demonstrate how Cvent leverages its own solutions, and Training Camps for power users. Don't forget to factor in the evening events, including receptions and the final night concert, for valuable informal networking.
When it comes to building your session agenda, Megan advises a speaker-first approach, identifying individuals and topics that align with your specific areas of interest, such as content, storytelling, data, measurement, and ROI. For those seeking a head start, Cvent provides curated session guides designed for different personas like sourcing managers, marketers, or technology professionals. These guides offer pre-selected agendas to fit your role and industry needs.
The Cvent Connect platform offers robust filtering capabilities to further personalize your schedule. Attendees can filter by day, time, role, industry, topics, session type, format (in-person vs. virtual), and even speaker. This granular control allows for a highly customized experience. Additionally, if you're a Cvent partner, the Partner Summit is highlighted as an "amazing program of networking, information, and connection" that should not be missed.
A key takeaway is the importance of interactive sessions. Megan expresses enthusiasm for workshops and community conversations, noting that the conference isn't solely composed of case studies and passive listening. These hands-on opportunities foster deeper learning and engagement. She specifically praises AdvaMed's event marketing strategy, led by Aaron Lee, as a prime example of an organization "crushing the event marketing game," making their session a must-attend for insights into successful event execution.
“AdvaMed is doing everything right. They are crushing the event marketing game.”
