Forbes wrote a great article and captured what we see changing in our industry. It's worth a read. Link in comments. Roger Dooley really nailed it. Being present is the rarest signal in modern business. Whether you're there in person or attending virtually, you've chosen to be present. That's what the Presence Premium™ is really about. The more AI proliferates, the more valuable authentic experiences and REAL human connection become. Because trust matters now more than ever. Our industry is changing fast.

Warda Grinis (Issa) shared thisBig day for us 💚 Live on stage at Cvent CONNECT in Nashville this week, we pulled back the curtain on a bold new Cvent: a fresh look, and a clearer sense of who we are. At our core, nothing's changed. Same people, same heart, same belief that events are where real connection happens. What's sharper is how we show up, and our conviction that a great event can do so much more than fill a room. It can move people, spark ideas, and create momentum that lasts long after the doors close. Want to see it live? Cvent CONNECT Europe is the place. 📍 20–22 October | InterContinental London – The O2 (and virtual) Three days of keynotes, first looks at what's next, hands-on training, and the kind of peer conversations that genuinely shift how you run your programme. It's where event, marketing, and hospitality professionals come to get ahead. If you're in my network and events are your world, I'd love for you to join us. Come see what the next generation of Cvent can do for yours. 👉 Register below in the comments! Expect more from your events.™ Dreaming green. See you in London. 💚 #CventCONNECTEurope #DreamGreen

Warda Grinis (Issa) reposted thisWarda Grinis (Issa) reposted thisRevolution. Not evolution. For nearly three decades, Cvent has been built around one belief: events are the most powerful thing your organization can do. Not a cost center. Not a checkbox. A performance driver. 🚀 That belief hasn't changed. Today we're introducing the next generation of Cvent, built for the highest-performing events on the planet. 💚 Same Cvent you trust. Different look. Bolder Promise. The platform behind 8 million-plus events, reimagined for the AI era. Everything you've come to rely on, amplified. Because our job has always been to help you show the world what events can do. Watch what this means for where we're headed. Link in comments. #Cvent #EventLedGrowth #Eventpros #MarTech

The most brilliant SDR Leadership hack is very simple: Decide what the main executive priority of the business is and ignore everything else. Then, double down every activity around that for the next 2 quarters until you have created an SDR organisation that's undeniable to your execs, which puts you in a position to be promoted.
