In our continuous efforts to enhance user experience and streamline content management workflows, we are excited to announce the latest update to our platform. This release focuses on improving the editing experience from the event app, making it easier and more intuitive for organizers to manage content. Here's a breakdown of what's new.

How it works?

Editing has never been easier. By clicking the "Edit" button in the event app, organizers are now easily redirected to the appropriate page in the Studio.

We have improved the messaging and introduced new buttons for smoother interaction while in offline mode for lead scanning.

Your scans are securely stored locally on your device when you're in Offline Mode. And to keep you in the loop, we've enhanced the messages you receive. So, even without a connection, you can trust that your scans are in safe hands. Just remember to sync them once you're back online.

To streamline your scanning process, we've added two new buttons:

• Open to Qualify: Effortlessly qualify a scan for further action.
• See My Pending Scans: Directly access your offline scans screen with a single click, bypassing the contacts list for quicker access.

Whether you hit the "Back" button, switch to a different QR code scan, or press any other buttons after scanning a badge in Offline Mode, rest assured that your scan is securely saved, on both iOS and Android.

With these enhancements, we aim to provide you with an even more reliable and user-friendly scanning experience. Trust that your scans are always secure, even in challenging connectivity situations.

As event organizers, it’s important to ensure attendees are able to engage with each other and maximize the networking opportunities. With the release of our new feature, attendees can now reschedule meetings with their peers.

This feature is designed to make it easier for participants to make the most of their time at events, letting them adjust their schedules to make sure they don’t miss out on any key connections.

The ability to reschedule meetings also saves event organizers valuable time, as they don’t need to manually adjust participants’ agendas.

How does it work? 

For pending, confirmed, and cancelled meetings, all participants will be able to reschedule from the Meeting details page. 

The participants simply have to click on "Reschedule meeting", and they will be able to select a new date, time slot, or location, if available and if the permissions allow it. 

Once the rescheduled action is over, all other participants will receive a new meeting request along with a new notification. The old meeting will appear as 'rescheduled' and the link to the new meeting will be mentionned.

See you in December!

We’re delighted to announce a new update to the Event App! We’re implementing a unique Company field in order to remove confusion and make the platform easier to use (before you had 2 different fields for your company name)

The change will make the Swapcard experience more streamlined and user-friendly.

Now, you can enter your company name into the main information section, so you can still provide other users with your professional information.

How to add a company to my profile? 

Just go to My Profile > Edit. Here you can update your Main Information section, and add a company to your profile! 

We’re excited to announce a new feature that will allow to showcase ads on top of event pages. This new feature gives you the same options as our current Ad feature but provides a more visible way to capture your audience’s attention.

The Ads banners feature is designed to be simple and easy to use:

From the Studio, select "Sponsors & Advertising" under "Event Builder" 

There is a new section "Content pages' ads" and simply click on "Create an ad" to create your first ad. 

-> Select a banner image for web and mobile 

-> Select a redirection to an Exhibitor's page, or an external URL or choose to not have any redirection

-> Select one or multiple content pages on which your ad should appear 

-> Select groups that should be targeted 

Once every mandatory field is complete, click on "Create an ad" to save and publish your ad.

On the "Sponsors and Advertising" main page you can keep track of your ads and see how effective they are by checking at a glance the number of views and clicks for each ad. 

With this new feature, you’ll be able to create ad banners that appear in the Content Views of your event page. This will ensure that your ads are seen by all the attendees, and will give you the opportunity to reach out to a larger audience. 

To start using this feature on your event, please contact your account manager for more pricing information.

Introducing a new feature that will elevate your event experience. Our latest enhancement to registration allows you to provide direct registration links – for both public and hidden tickets. Here's what you need to know:

• Dedicated Ticket URLs: Each ticket now comes with a unique URL, making registration even more straightforward.
• Privacy and Exclusivity: Using a dedicated URL ensures that registrants can access only that specific ticket.
• Date and quantity limits: The begin and end dates will still be respected along with the quantity limit (if set).
• Ticket Listing: The main registration URL will continue to list the publicly available tickets.

You can retrieve the custom URL using the new 3-dot menu on the ticket listing or get it directly from the ticket details view.

We are thrilled to announce an improvement in our artificial intelligence (AI) Recommendation system! Our AI Recommendation system is designed to help users make the most out of their networking experience and we are continuously improving.

This new functionality brings more options to our users when it comes to engaging with other users in a more meaningful way. With our AI Recommendation system, users can now get recommendations based on the videos they watch, searches they perform, and filters they use, besides the other actions they take.

For example, if a user has watched a certain video, our AI Recommendation system will suggest other users who have also watched the video. This helps to make sure that users are able to connect with people who share the same interests.

If you’re looking to create speed networking or meetings-led events, then you’re in luck. We’re excited to announce the latest feature: our Smart Meeting Generator which creates speed networking with AI.

The Smart Meeting Generator is an innovative way to engage attendees to network, optimize meeting creation, and make people meet each other. With our new AI-based speed networking feature, you’ll be able to orchestrate the meetings quickly and efficiently.

We understand the importance of speed networking events and the value they bring to the table. With the Smart Meeting Generator, you can easily customize who should meet, in which locations, and when. You can rest assured that your attendees will get the most out of their networking experience.

How does it work? 

How to set it up?
Go to the Studio page, and click on Meetings > Generator.
Here, you can customize your condition according to your needs: Group matching, Locations, Time slots, etc.
Then, all you need to do is click on "Generate meetings".

How does our magic AI work?
- Our custom-made NLP (Natural Language Processing) engine estimates the potential of each possible meeting.
- A multi-dimensional priority system generates meetings taking into account the quality of meetings, compatibility of users' groups, and all sorts of constraints (schedules, locations, diversity of meetings...), and much more...
- Smart implementation enables us to offer thousands of meetings per second!

After, a short period, a success email will be sent to you so that you can check the generated meetings. 

Here is the trick: the generated meetings are created as "draft" meetings. So that only you as an organizer have access to it. Participants know nothing until you confirm the draft meetings.
Besides, for each meeting generated, some AI explanations are displayed so that you know why 2 persons have been matched. 

Draft meetings can be edited, canceled, reviewed, and everything you need to customize and optimize your networking session!
The final step is to confirm the draft meetings: in bulk or individually. 

As a participant: 
Then, participants will receive the meetings in their schedule as normal meetings, with AI explanations about why they matched with this person. 

Now, the networking can begin! 

Finally, with the Smart Meeting Generator, you can efficiently generate speed networking with AI, allowing you to create the perfect networking opportunity for your organization or team.
