SESSION OVERVIEW
In this session, I’ll be introducing Cvent’s event and engagement solutions specifically through the lens of Associations and Networks within the Higher Education sector. We’ll look at how universities and student-led organisations are using Cvent to streamline event delivery, improve coordination across committees and faculties, enhance student participation, and ultimately create more consistent, engaging experiences across their academic and membership events.
Attendees should join if they’re looking to reduce manual workloads, improve communication and collaboration across teams, and elevate both the student and member experience. Whether you run conferences, open days, networking programs, academic societies, or professional associations, this session will highlight practical ways to simplify processes, boost engagement, and drive long-term value from your event strategy.
PRESENTER
Leighton Stephens has been working with Cvent for around 8 years, and has been in the event space as a whole for over a decade. He’s hosted over 200 events ranging from concerts to community festivals, seminars to conferences, and has presented at some of the biggest events in the space. At the end of the day, he’s really just a guy who enjoys bringing people together in whatever form that might take.
