About Cvent
Cvent ships on a calendar, and this cycle's only concrete item is a LinkedIn sync.
Cvent publishes a release calendar rather than a changelog: the August 19 cycle arrived on August 4 as six parallel family notices (Attendee Engagement, Plan & Promote, Exchange Solutions, Actionable Insights, Spend & Workflow, Trade Show Solutions), followed by an umbrella index post on August 6. Most notices open by listing which products the family covers before saying what changed, and several explicitly report no releases at all this cycle. The one item stated in full is Event Sync and Registrant Capture for LinkedIn going live in beta.
