This is more specifically for management of attendee lists and contacts for our major gift events.

Jerry has been working on importing Activity types for all the different Events she's working on. And we wanted to know if there was a way to import new contacts within an Activity import. For example, there are a large majority of event attendees who are already in Civi which is fine and so importing Activities for these people is easy as we have their CIDs, but when we have new contacts who we want to get into Civi as well as update their Activities, Jerry has to create first an import to import the new contacts, then export the contacts so she has their CIDs and then import the new Activities for them.

We have a number of large virtual events kicking off by mid September where this would be very helpful and reduce a lot of manual work in Civi.
