Custom Navigation and SSO Link in ARC

The Attendee Resource Center now has the ability to facilitate Attendee navigation between Cvent and 3rd party systems with Custom Navigation and SSO links. Using your own internal tool for identity management of your Attendees? No problem! Simply set up a custom navigation link and display it in ARC to get your Attendees to in and out of your event websites in an elegant and timely fashion.
