The full Cvent CONNECT 2019 agenda has launched! The agenda now includes over 100 breakouts sessions, all expected to be approved for CMP credit. The best part? We have new tracked agendas that give more specific content for different types of attendees. And, this is the first year there are differentiated breakouts for beginner, intermediate, and advanced users of Cvent. You’ll also see breakout tracks that are more focused on the functional. Unlike other conferences, you can pick and choose from the complete selection of sessions and are not required to attend all sessions within a track, which will make for a completely custom agenda specific to your unique needs.
