Upgrades to the Virtual Stage
In search of providing a better experience for users and in the case of events and activities that have face-to-face, virtual and hybrid components, we have developed the following improvements:
We have launched a PWA (Progressive Web App) which allows users to have direct access from their smartphone to the content of their events. Additionally, once logged in with this PWA, they will be able to access the information last seen in offline mode (without internet).
Understanding the demand for hybrid formats, face-to-face and virtual, the platform will now allow you to customise your needs according to the type of event the client requires and this, in turn will allow for a better configuration and user experience.
We invite you to browse the platform and learn about these new features. If you have any doubt, we will be very attentive to guide you.

Sponsors Module: Registration for Activities
Sponsors want to keep track of the participants attending their activities. This can allow them to better prepare their presentation prior to the day of the event, in a way they can generate better engagement.
This is why we enabled a new feature which will let them set up a registration for their activities, as well as setting up a limit for the number of participants they want to host.
For this, they must go to their Sponsors Editor, create an activity, and at the bottom of the menu they will be able to activate or deactivate the registration feature. This way, participants will be able to register to these activities through the Virtual Stage.
Users: Permission to Activate/Deactivate Events
We understand that some organizations have quite a few users on their accounts. Such users have different roles and task for which they are responsible.
In order to better limit the roles and assignments the users on your account have, we added a new permission that allows admin users to limit who can activate or deactivate events.
To set up this permission, the admin user must go to the "Users" tab and look for the user whom you want to change permissions. Once you find said user, click on the three dots and click on "Edit", this will display the "Module Permissions" tab. Please click on it and in the dropdown menu select "Events". Finally, you will select or unselect the "Activate and deactivate" depending on your needs.
Reports: Completed Meetings
We understand that knowing how participants interact is a critical metric to measure how good the event was.
For this reason, we added a new report which will allow organizers to know which meeting actually took place and for how long did the participants interacted with each other.
Networking: Schedule More Than One Meeting with the Same Participant
Many times, participants engage in very good interactions with other participants, but they do not have the opportunity to meet again inside the Virtual Stage.
In order for participants to meet multiple times with the same participant, we have added the feature to limit the maximum number of meeting.
You can configure this by entering the Networking module and in the Actions menu by clicking on Advanced Settings.
Registration: Add Event to Calendar
Each organization is different from the others, that is why depending on their needs they will have different mail suites for their collaborators. For this reason, it is now possible to add your events to the participants' preferred calendar.
When they receive the welcome email, they just have to click on the "Add to Calendar" button and the different options will open.
Virtual Stage: Create Channels Feature for Participants
One of the main objectives of event organizers is to generate engagement among the participants.
With this in mind, we have added a feature that allows participants to create their own channels to discuss and interact with each other.
For this, participants must go to their chats' module on the Virtual Stage, and there they will find the button "Create new channel". Participants will be able to create a discussion channel with a compelling title and description to generate interest among other participants.
Virtual Stage: Chat Emojis
Due to the fact that we want participants to be able to express their emotions in the best way, we have added an emojis' module in the chats of the Virtual Stage. This will generate more engagement and allow participants to show in a fun way how an event activity or a networking meeting has made them feel.
Speakers: Delete Picture and Banner Button
We know that changes can happen at any time. This is why we have added a button that allows you to delete the image of the speaker or their banners to upload new ones.
Virtual Stage: Delete Images
In order to give our clients more flexibility, we have added buttons to delete all the images that can be set in the Virtual Stage.
To delete an image, you just have to go to the Virtual Stage settings, look for the image you want to delete and click on the button. Then all it takes is uploading a new image, and you are set.
Virtual Stage: Titles Colors

Virtual Stage: SSO Authentication
To improve attendees' experience, we added a new way to log into the Virtual Stage using Active Directory. This is something we now have available for all accounts, but it needs to be activated per request. In case another type of account wants to be added, information needs to be provided to our Support Team, and they will set it up.
Surveys: Conditional Questions
Conditional questions feature for surveys is now available, this will allow you to change questions depending on what the participant answers. In the meantime, we have pushed this feature as something that needs to be set up per request to our helpdesk and our support team will gladly coordinate what are the steps to take.
Workshops: Zoom Credentials Reset Button
Setting up your workshops with Zoom Meeting or Webinar can sometimes require additional steps. To make it easier for you to reset your credential, we added this button.
API: Endpoint for Sponsors' Activities Stats
After creating the new features of the Sponsors module, we identified our clients' need to obtain as much information as possible.
For this reason we have added an endpoint to our API so that it is possible to obtain the statistics of sponsor activities.
Registration Form: Add Event to Calendar
For participants to have better traceability of the event and avoid missing its date, they can now add it to their calendars directly from the registration form.
Once the attendee has completed the form, the successful registration message will appear and at the top of their screens, they'll find the "Add to Calendar" button. This way they can include the event in your Gmail or Outlook calendars.
Virtual Stage: Deep Links
In order to make the experience of your participants easier and more enjoyable within the Virtual Stage, we have included deep links for the different modules.
Now your participants will be able to share the profiles of others among themselves to be able to schedule meetings more quickly or access a sponsor's stand.
Speakers: Banner Image
Type your new product feature here...
So that your speakers have more identity and presence at the event, we have added the feature to upload a banner.

Sponsors: Link to Sponsors' Editor
Type your new product feature here...
To make it easier for you to share the Sponsors' editor link with your participants and partners, we've added a new button.
To access this area, you must go to the Sponsors module and at the top right you will find the "Actions" button. By clicking here you will find the option "View Public Sponsors Area".
Virtual Stage: Allow Registration to Activities
We know that on many occasions the participants are not sure if they can attend an activity, and that is why they do not register for it from the beginning. Thinking of those people who want to enter an activity but for one reason or another could not do so in the registration form, we have enabled the registration of activities from the Virtual Stage.
For this you must enter the Activities module and make sure to select the option "Allow registration for this workshop." and choose the attendee types you want to have this feature enabled.
Once you have done this, you proceed to configure the activity normally and then in the Virtual Stage Configuration module you must go to the Modules tab and in the Workshops option go to the Items to Show field and choose "Show only activities associated with the attendee type, and highlight those the attendee is registered to". Make sure you select the "Allow registration" option as well.
Once you have done this, your attendees will be able to search for the activities in their Agendas and if they are not registered, do so right there.
