With virtual events becoming more and more global, we understand that it is necessary for your participants to be able to correctly know when the different activities will occur.

This is why we have made some improvements in the management of time zones within the Virtual Stage that apply to:

-Virtual Stage Time. -Activities' countdown. -If the event is face-to-face, it will display the timezone from the country in which the event will take place.

Now you will also have the opportunity to choose the time format you prefer for your Virtual Stage. You can choose between 12h or 24h format.

For this you must go to the General Settings tab in the edit option of your event and you will be able to see the Time Format field.

Every day we are migrating back to face-to-face interactions, and events are not far behind. Many of our clients are already holding hybrid events, where they can host face-to-face and virtual audiences.

So you keep better management of your attendees, now if the event is only in person, the welcome email will include its QR code to be able to check-in. If it is virtual, the welcome email will not include the QR code. 

Being able to communicate as much information as possible to your participants is very important. This is why we have added new tags for sending your mass emails.

You can access them by entering the Communications module and once there choose who you want to send the message to. You will immediately see the tag list at the bottom of your screen.

We know that it is not enough to be able to track one of your events, but that you also need to know the global results of all your events.

For this reason, now, the Global Dashboard will also allow you to see the number of participants who have entered the Virtual Stage and checked-in in case it is a face-to-face event. The cards now show you which are virtual events and which are face-to-face. You will be able to see the ratio between the number of attendees and the number of events, as well as how to generate custom graphs.

We invite you to give it a go by clicking on the Events tab at the top left part of your screen and choosing the Global Dashboard option.

Being able to keep the traceability of your events is one of the greatest needs of our clients, that is why we are always trying to generate the most information that can provide them with value.

Thus, now you will be able to see the total connection of your participants during the days of your event. For this you must go to the Reports module and in the Virtual Stage category choose Event Connection. This report will show you the total connection by days and you can export it if you want to work it even better.

From now on to help you avoid confusion, test emails will come with a label on the front to indicate this. If the platform is configured in English, it will say (Test), if it is in Spanish (Prueba) and if it is in French (Preuve).

When your events have many activities, it can be difficult to see them all in one view. For this reason, we have added the list view which will allow your participants to scroll between the activities and networking meetings, thus being able to review them in a better way.

For event organizers and their participants to have the best experience, we understand that it is necessary to minimize errors. Some of the bug fixes we made include:

• Show bios of Speakers correctly. Previously when these were too long, they were displayed from the end. From now on the biography will be shown from the beginning and the participant can scroll down to read it completely.

• Show images correctly once they are updated by participants. Previously, they were not shown in the list of participants, but the change was shown in the participant's profile image on the chat.

• Fixed the position of reactions to match the Sponsors reel.

• The size of Speaker images changed when their profiles were opened. We have corrected this error so that the images are displayed correctly.

Virtuality has allowed us to connect our events with participants from all over the world. In order to make your experiences more user-friendly within the Virtual Stage, it is now possible to enable multiple streaming channels on the same activity. This will allow having streamings in different languages on the same activity, allowing participants to access more easily.

The steps you must follow to enable this feature are:

• Create the activity.
• In the tab "Virtual Stage Configuration" choose the option "Youtube" or "Other".
• In the "Add" button, add the number of streamings you want (Up to 5) and name them to your preference.

So that your participants can keep scrolling through the event´s website or any other website you desire after they make their payments, we have enabled the Payment Redirection option.

To set this up, you must go to the "Advanced Settings" module in the "Register" option. Once there you will go to the "Payments" option and you will be able to enter the URL of the site to which the participant must be redirected once they make their payments.
