Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect with other attendees?
Start in the conference app! During the event, look for attendees with the same color sticker on their badge as you. That means you use the same product.
Post on LinkedIn that you’re attending and tag #CSTENGAGE to start connecting before you even arrive, and pick up a First Timer pin at the registration desk so other first-timers can spot you too.
Will session recordings be available?
The sessions will not be recorded but the PowerPoint slides will be made available after ENGAGE in the customer portal.
Where can I get help onsite?
The registration desk is your home base for anything you need.

“I love the opportunity to attend ENGAGE because it shifts the focus from product to people. At the conference, I get the most value out of speaking with CentralSquare employees and meeting other Finance Enterprise customers! We get to share stories and solutions, collaborate on ideas, and see how other people are using the product.”
