Center on Budget and Policy Priorities

This was my first year at Connect, and it was an awesome experience! They provide extremely educational and relatable workshops and a variety of top-notch suppliers that were not only able to handle what I was looking for, but also able to show me invaluable possibilities of how I can improve or add to what I was already doing. Because of Connect, my next conference will be way more efficient and exciting than it has ever been in the past.

Violet Crabb

Executive Director

The American Academy for Oral and Systemic Health

I attend many Hosted Buyer Events over the course of a year. Connect events always have a variety of city tiers hoteliers and CVBs, service vendors, and more ready to conduct business. As a Hosted Buyer, you feel like the focus of the event is on you and not just on the event sponsors. If you come prepared, vendors will remember you, appreciate the effort, and you will build a network that will last well beyond a single event RFP.

Attending Connect Spring Marketplace in Las Vegas was a fantastic experience. The event was well-organized, the meetings were productive, and the opportunities to network with suppliers and peers were invaluable. The energy throughout the event made it both enjoyable and worthwhile. I’m looking forward to attending again!
