How CEMA Opened the Doors to Cvent CONNECT
By: Ashley Jenkins, Study Tour participant & Events Manager at Sprout Social Inc.
Attending the CEMA Study Tour at Cvent CONNECT was an enlightening and energizing experience. From exclusive production insights to immersive event showcases, the tour offered a rare glimpse into how Cvent CONNECT comes to life. I gained a deeper appreciation for the value and quality of an event’s partnerships with its suppliers and host city—relationships that are clearly a key ingredient to the event’s success.
One of the highlights was the walking tour of the event venue, which included a behind-the-scenes look at the general session stage, a spotlight on sustainability practices, and a panel discussion with the event’s key stakeholders.
Beyond the event itself, exploring the vibrant city of San Antonio and connecting with fellow event professionals added tremendous value. Overall, it was a powerful reminder of the creativity, strategy, and community that fuel our industry. I highly recommend any CEMA Study Tour to event professionals looking to be inspired, build meaningful connections, and stay ahead of industry trends.
