Facial Recognition, Personalized Agenda, Real-time Notifications & More!

Hey event professionals,

January has ended, but we are not done yet. We see a year full of potential, a year of amazing events you will be attending with us. And how is that possible? Of course, with your wonderful minds and our powerful platform. 

We are glad to bring back another month of product updates designed to make event management smoother, faster, and more engaging. This month, we’re introducing facial recognition check-in, landing page templates, personalized agendas, self-serve chat queues, centralized account management, real-time notifications, and much more to elevate your spirits and your intelligence. Let’s see what we have to offer.

Eliminate Long Queues with Facial Recognition for Badge Printing & Check-In

Long check-in lines can be frustrating for attendees and slow down event entry. To tackle this, we’ve introduced a facial recognition-powered check-in and badge printing system. Now, attendees can check in and print their badges instantly without the need for QR codes or manual lookups.

Imagine arriving at a large conference with hundreds of attendees. Instead of joining a long, frustrating queue at the registration desk, you approach a kiosk with facial recognition technology. Within seconds, it recognizes your face, retrieves your details, and prints your badge. No QR codes or manual searches are needed. This efficient entry is the first step on your event day that will satisfy your attendees.

The feature comes with:

  • Dual Functionality: Attendees can print their badges and check in instantly using facial recognition.
  • Optimization for Live Events: The feature handles high-volume check-ins with ease to ensure a smooth experience even during peak times.
  • Frictionless Experience: No QR codes or manual lookups are needed.

Allow Attendees to Share Their Personalized Agenda via Email

With multiple sessions, speakers, and locations, tracking event schedules can be overwhelming for attendees. To simplify this, we’ve introduced a feature that lets attendees email their personalized agendas directly to themselves or others in PDF format.

If you are attending a busy tech conference with multiple sessions, speakers, and locations, you need to keep track of everything. To make it an organized day with the guarantee that you never miss an important session, you can quickly share your schedule with a colleague or save it on your phone for easy access. 

This feature delivers:

  • Instant Access: Attendees can email their schedules anytime for easy access to the information without the need to open the app.
  • On-the-Go Flexibility: Manage time and planning with the ability to share schedules with colleagues and friends.
  • Improved Experience: Streamline communication by eliminating confusion over session details and locations, making it easier for attendees to navigate the event.

Save Time & Maintain Consistency with Landing Page Templates

Creating an event landing page from scratch every time can be tedious. With our new landing page templates, organizers can now save their best-designed pages and reuse them for future events. This ensures brand consistency while significantly reducing setup time.

Imagine organizing a monthly webinar series and spending hours each time designing a landing page from scratch. With our landing page templates, you can save your best design and reuse it for future events, just update the details, and you’re done. No more starting over or worrying about branding consistency. It’s a quick, easy way to save time while keeping your events looking polished and professional. Perfect for webinars, conferences, or any recurring event!

This feature helps you in:

  • Repurposing with Ease: Save and repurpose beautifully designed landing pages.
  • Consistent Branding: Maintain a professional, uniform look across your flagship events.
  • Easy Customization: Modify event details, images, and content without changing the overall structure.
  • Faster Event Setup: Reduce the time spent on designing new pages and focus more on a delivering great event.

Streamline Chat Management with Self-Serve Chat Queue Setup

Managing attendee interactions is crucial for event success. To improve engagement, we’re introducing a self-serve chat queue setup, allowing attendees to join chat queues without manual intervention from organizers.

Let’s say you are organizing a virtual tech conference with multiple breakout sessions and expert speakers. Attendees want to ask questions or connect with speakers, but manually managing these interactions can be overwhelming for organizers. With our self-serve chat queue setup, attendees can join a speaker’s chat queue on their own, with no need for organizers to step in. For instance, if someone wants to discuss AI trends with a keynote speaker, they can simply join that speaker’s queue and wait their turn. This not only saves time for organizers but also creates a seamless experience for attendees, making it easier to engage with experts and get their questions answered. Whether it’s a tech conference, workshop, or panel discussion, this feature ensures smooth, efficient communication for all.

 The chat queue setup brings ease with the following:

  • Automated Queuing: Attendees can join a queue themselves without having to be manually added by representatives.
  • Improved Chat Control: Organizers can easily manage, pause, or resume chat queues based on availability.
  • Enhanced Organization: Streamlined chat interactions ensure no attendee is overlooked, leading to better networking opportunities.

Centralized Account Management for a Seamless User Experience

Navigating different links for registrations, cancellations, and upgrades can be confusing. To simplify this, we’ve introduced a centralized “My Account” section in the user dashboard, where all key registration actions are housed in one place.

Imagine purchasing an event ticket and then realizing you need to modify your details or upgrade your pass. Instead of searching for separate links to manage these actions, your attendees can now access everything in one place. They can handle cancellations, ticket upgrades, and profile updates without any hassle, ensuring a seamless and frustration-free experience.

Here’s what you will have with this feature:

  • All-in-One Dashboard: Manage cancellations, profile updates, and ticket upgrades seamlessly.
  • Improved User Experience: No need to search for different links—everything is streamlined.
  • Faster Self-Service: Attendees can make changes instantly without requiring support.

Centralized Account Settings

Keep Attendees Updated with Real-Time Notifications

Missing important updates during an event can lead to lost opportunities and a disconnected experience for attendees. We’ve introduced real-time notifications that keep attendees informed about key event interactions. Attendees will receive instant alerts about their webinar sessions, meeting bookings, booth activities, and chat updates, ensuring they never miss a critical moment.

Attending a large trade show with multiple exhibitors, sessions, and networking opportunities? Without real-time updates, you might miss a session you’ve been waiting for or lose track of a scheduled meeting with a potential client. For example, if a session you’re interested in is about to start or a booth you want to visit has a special demo, you’ll get a notification right away. 

This functionality offers:

  • Single Notification System: Instead of tracking updates manually, attendees receive real-time notifications on meetings, booth visits, chat interactions, and webinar schedules, keeping them informed at all times.
  • Improved Engagement: With instant alerts, attendees can actively participate in scheduled sessions and networking opportunities without missing key moments.
  • Seamless User Experience: By consolidating all event-related updates in one place, this feature removes the hassle of navigating multiple sections, making event participation smooth and effortless.

Real-time Backend Notifications

Our latest updates are all about making your events more engaging, organized, and efficient. So, let’s start 2025 strong by using these features and more to make your events a success.
