Event
Added new BETA Enable online networking setting. Networking (BETA) module is a pre-requisite. In the future, this will allow attendees and exhibitors to engage in meetings and interact via messaging. It also enables organisers to allow participants to interact outside the in-person event date ranges, by setting up different start dates and end dates for the online event.
New feature – Agenda
Agenda is part of the the new engagement tools set of functionalities which allows organizers to create and manage a schedule or itinerary of events, sessions/seminars, and activities for their event. This feature enables attendees to easily view the schedule, find out when and where specific sessions or activities are taking place, and plan their attendance accordingly.
Therefore, moving forward, all seminars should be created under the Agenda section. By doing so, organizers can easily manage all their seminars in one place, and attendees can easily find and register for seminars they are interested in.
Once a seminar has been created under Agenda, organizers can also add it as a shop item under the Shop section.
Documents
Instant document preview is now available in Create > Design > Documents. You can easily toggle between Edit and Preview mode. Select a visitor from the list to preview their document. All editing functions are disabled while in Preview mode.
Service Centre
New column added for Visitors – Partner Association – which shows which visitors are staff members or invited guests of exhibitors.
The Invitations tab within the Partner section has been renamed and is now called Guests.
The former Activities tab has been renamed Onsite actions and reflects all onsite interactions.
A new Activities tab has been created and now reports the signup and attendance for on-site activities such as seminars and sessions.
Improvements
Multiple value conditions – You can now set up rules with conditions based on multiple values, instead of adding multiple conditions with single values. This only applies to Company, Department, Email, and Job function fields in the Personal category.
Improved handling of areas and locations. You can set up access control rules based on an area, thus allowing the use of all gates associated with a specific area.
API
The API now reports onsite badge print activity (successful badge prints), which allows organisers to compare data with their own systems.
Check-in
Wi-Fi networks search & refresh improvements.
Visit Connect
Extended timeframe for Visit Connect “Request log in” email
Timeframe for exhibitors requesting Visit Connect access has been extended from 7 days to 6 months. This means that exhibitors can request access up to 6 months prior to the event, or if the event has ended within the last 28 days.
Improved staff import
In order to avoid having duplicate staff members under a partner, imported data is checked against existing partner records. Records with duplicate email addresses are updated, while new ones are added to the team members list.
Visit Discover
New feature: Product directory
The Product directory is a comprehensive list or catalog of products, services, or solutions offered by exhibitors, vendors, or sponsors participating in the event. This directory serves as a valuable resource for users attending the event, helping them discover, explore, and engage with the offerings that best suit their interests or needs.
New feature: Agenda
Agenda is a detailed schedule or program of activities, sessions, and presentations that will take place during an event or conference. It provides important information for attendees, such as the timing, duration, location, and description of each session or activity, as well as the names and bios of speakers or presenters in the near future. The agenda is a crucial resource for users to plan and optimize their time and engagement during the event.
Improvements
UI/UX with a new desktop menu, split between event and personal information.
Improved exhibitor search and filter.
