Cvent Product Insider - January 2021
Vol 1 | Jan. 21, 2021
We want to make sure you have easy access to the product knowledge you need to succeed - so we're starting this blog to achieve just that! Our goal is to pick the most important news and timely trainings that you should attend to keep up with your products.
Product Update News
Here's our top product-related news for January:
- Continuing to help you go virtual. If you missed it last year, we released our very own virtual event platform, the Virtual Attendee Hub® (VAH). Our Product team is hard at work adding new features to the tool - a few noteworthy recent releases include choosing featured sessions, allowing for session enrollment, and showing ‘Happening Now’ and ‘Up Next’ cards. Coming soon: session duration tracking. More VAH updates in the KB.
- Now Premium Surveys allow for greater automation with survey scoring and credit management. With the addition of Scoring Surveys (event or session-level) and the ability to auto-award credits based on survey score, your attendees can now flow seamlessly through the process of attending a session, taking a survey/test afterwards, automatically earning credits based a set pass/fail score, and ultimately receiving an email with a link to a personal achievement certificate.

- Growing your Flex Registration building skills. 2021 is the year to get yourself fully over to Flex and close out all your old Classic events. We have an entire library of Flex training, articles, and customers resources to help you learn more about Flex and plan your transition.
Can you spare five minutes to share your thoughts on product communications you receive from Cvent? We have a few quick questions to help us better understand if you feel you're getting the info you need!
Keep Current on the Products You Own
For product-related updates and questions, there are a few ways to get what you need. Here are our recommendations on the key ways to stay informed:
- Block your calendar for these two webinars each quarter. The Quarterly Product Update webinar and Virtual Customer Success Group workshop series, two of our most highly renowned customer programs, are coming up in February and March.
- Sign up for Product News alerts. Every Thursday, we compile product releases from the previous week and share them in the Cvent Community. You can even subscribe to get these sent right to your inbox each week.
- Post your question in the Cvent Community. You can always visit the Community and post a question in the Open Forum. Everyone's doing it - don't miss the conversation!
More Pro Tips and Tools
Each month, we'll also highlight some of the best tips, tricks, and customer tools. This month, we're featuring our How It's Made: Flex Website Edition webinars. These walk you through sample Flex website builds found in our Visual Showcase, giving you step-by-step guidance on how you can take your Site Designer skills to the next level.
