Monday, October 7 – Welcome Reception
We officially kicked off this year’s event at our Welcome Reception on Monday evening. It was an evening of great food, drinks, and networking.
Tuesday, October 8 – Special Event
We spent Tuesday evening in the Florida wilderness at Wild Florida, a Wildlife Park in the Headwaters of the Florida Everglades. Here, we enjoyed dinner, private airboat tours, animal meet and greets, and more!
Wednesday, October 9 – Free Night
Our last night was open for guests to spend however they pleased. Some relaxed at the pool or played golf, & others took the resort shuttle to one of the Disney Parks, which was just a few miles away.
"Cleo Connect is a great opportunity for me as a Cleo user to learn more about the platform and the roadmap, and to bounce ideas off other customers and learn how they’re using it. It’s a well-run event that’s worth the time, and we really learned a lot about what ecosystem integration means and its value to businesses like ours."
