(CNN) Political conventions are the ultimate insider events. Once rife with smoke-filled rooms and back-room deals , it's where the most prominent members of a political party gather, surrounded by party activists from around the country. The days are packed with convention events and programming, and at night, parties and social gatherings. No longer is it safe to gather thousands of people from around the country in one arena (despite President Donald Trump's best efforts). There will also be programming from satellite cities and landmarks around the country.
