September flew by, and we’ve been busy. This month brought a wave of new features designed to give event organizers more control over their events, from smoother registration flows to smarter audience targeting and better exhibitor tools. Whether you’re running a tradeshow, career fair, conference, or campus event, these updates make it easier to manage registrations, keep attendees engaged, and track what’s actually working.
Let’s dive into what’s new.
Long registration forms can be overwhelming. We get it. That’s why we’ve introduced multi-page registration forms that break everything into digestible steps. Each form comes with a customizable progress bar so your attendees always know how close they are to the finish line.
Navigation is automatic. Next and back buttons appear on each page without you lifting a finger. You can even add a final review page where registrants can double-check all their information before hitting submit. This is especially helpful when you’re collecting detailed information like resumes, certifications, booth preferences, or dietary restrictions.
Remember the days of hunting through individual profiles to download resumes, transcripts, or headshots one by one? Those days are over.
You can now export all file uploads from registration and profile creation in one go. Whether it’s candidate resumes for recruiters, student portfolios for faculty, or business licenses for your tradeshow floor, everything can be downloaded in bulk. This saves you hours of manual work and makes it simple to share documents with sponsors, employers, or your team.
Exhibitors invest a lot in your events. Now you can help them maximize that investment with Attendee Discovery.
From their exhibitor portal, exhibitors can browse a complete list of registered attendees before your event even starts. They’ll see names, job titles, companies, and custom registration form data. This gives recruiters, vendors, and sponsors the ability to identify key prospects ahead of time, plan their outreach, and prioritize the conversations that matter most.
For career fairs, this means recruiters can spot promising candidates early. For tradeshows, exhibitors can identify decision makers and plan their booth strategy. It’s all about helping your exhibitors make the most of their time at your event.
Live Q&A sessions can get chaotic fast. We’ve added new management tools to help you stay in control.
You can now show or hide questions, delete irrelevant submissions directly from the frontend, and view questions filtered by status: open, answered, or viewed. This keeps your panels, keynotes, and workshops focused on the questions that actually matter, while filtering out duplicates or off-topic submissions.
Whether you’re moderating a student town hall or a tradeshow keynote, you’ll have the control you need to keep things running smoothly.
Generic email blasts don’t cut it anymore. Your audience expects relevant, timely communication. That’s where advanced segmentation comes in.
You can now create dynamic audience segments using multiple conditions with AND/OR logic. Go beyond basic registration fields and segment by session selections, activity status, login times, ticket types, booth visits, and more.
Want to email only engineering majors who registered for your career workshop? Or follow up with procurement managers interested in sustainability solutions? What about re-engaging attendees who registered but haven’t logged in since day one? Now you can do all of that and more.
Each segment shows a live user count, so you know exactly how many people you’re reaching before you hit send. It’s precision targeting made simpler.
Scheduling meetings at events can feel like herding cats. We’ve made it easier to manage.
You can now set default availability for your entire event, like designated networking hours or VIP buyer sessions. Attendees and exhibitors will know exactly when connections are happening, reducing confusion and no-shows.
Plus, with new permission controls by user type, you decide who can adjust their availability and who follows the default schedule. This is especially useful for protecting your keynote speakers, top recruiters, or VIP exhibitors from being overwhelmed with meeting requests outside their preferred times.
Everything stays organized, and everyone knows when and where to show up.
For those running job fairs, we’ve built something specifically for you: candidate tagging with team visibility and automation.
Create custom tags like “screening,” “interview scheduled,” or “not a fit.” Reorder them to match your hiring workflow, and they’ll automatically appear in the same order across dropdowns and job boards.
Here’s where it gets powerful: tags and complete candidate history are visible to your entire recruiting team. No more duplicate outreach. No more stepping on each other’s toes. Everyone knows exactly where each candidate stands.
You can even associate tags with specific email templates, so when a candidate’s status changes, automatic follow-ups get triggered without any manual work. This makes it a lot easier for recruiters to coordinate with each other and keeps the whole process transparent.
Email campaign management just got a major upgrade.
First, you now have complete visibility into unsubscribed users. You can see who opted out, resubscribe them with a single toggle, and track unsubscribe and resubscribe dates. This gives you better control over your contact lists and helps you stay compliant.
Second, we’ve redesigned the entire campaign setup experience. The new workflow is streamlined into four intuitive steps, whether you’re sending immediately, scheduling for later, or adding translations for multilingual events.
These updates are just the beginning. We’re continuing to build improvements to the attendee and exhibitor experience, with more coming soon. Our goal is simple: give you the tools you need to run better events with less stress.
