Each contact made via Lead Retrieval during an event is automatically included in the exhibitor's lead report of that same event. This means that even if a connection was already existing between the exhibitor member and the contact from a previous event, the contact that has been scanned again in the current event will also show up in the last report, along with the latest profile details saved for this event.

Additionally, this feature allows for a more comprehensive analysis of the event's success, as it shows the number of leads generated, regardless of whether they were scanned during previous events or not.

Here are some updates that have been made to freshen up the UI of the People view.

• All the profile cards are now harmonized in order to have the same design and keep consistency across all the pages.

• 
  In order to make the profile more visible to the attendees, a blank background has been added to each section located in the People view including:
  • AI recommendations
  • Online people
  • People to meet
• Additionally, the different carousels have been updated to make them more noticeable and therefore usable.

Inside the Swapcard platform, attendees can send meetings to each other to ensure they meet the right person at the right time and location. It is also possible to register for sessions.

In order to not miss out on anything, the schedule is displayed inside My Event. However, each time the users are busy accepting a meeting or registering for a session, they should be aware of the potential conflicts they have inside My Schedule.

That’s why Swapcard decided to display the time conflicts inside My Event, and to warn the users each time:

• The users accept a meeting but they already have a session in their schedule
• The users register for a session but they already have a meeting or a session in their schedule

This new feature allows moderators and speakers of a Backstage session to communicate with each other in a secure and private chat. The private chat is accessible only to them, ensuring that conversations remain exclusive to the intended audience.

The private chat has all the features that are available in the usual session live discussions, including reactions, answering messages, and file uploads. This means that moderators and speakers can collaborate and share information with each other in real-time.

Furthermore, when a message is sent, the chat box opens automatically. This feature ensures that everyone in the Backstage is aware of the ongoing conversation and can join in if needed.

In summary, the private chat for moderators and speakers inside the Backstage is an essential feature that enhances communication and collaboration. It makes it easier for moderators and speakers to work together and deliver an outstanding session experience for all attendees.

Swapcard now offers the ability for someone not logged into Swapcard, or not registered to any of the Community's events, to access the Community and its content through the Guest Mode.

Each Community now has a new Guest Mode Group, and it's possible to set the permissions for this group.

It’s also possible to define whether Guests can view each Community in the “Groups & permissions” section.

The Guest Mode is a great way to open your Community to external people and allow them to discover your content and activities. It can also increase the visibility and engagement of your Community.

We are introducing changes to the Exhibitor Center in order to improve the UX and UI of the application, modernize and align it better with the Swapcard Event App and Swapcard Studio.

The following improvements applied to the Exhibitor Center landing page:

• Filtering of displayed content based on “ongoing/ upcoming events” and “past events”
• Displaying exhibitors e.g. LinkedIn and the related events in order from the most recent
• Ability to collapse events related to an exhibitor
• Option to revert to the old version of Exhibitor Center for the first two weeks after the release

The following improvements applied to the Exhibitor Center event page:

• The community logo is visible in the top navigation bar
• Both the Exhibitor and the Event names are presented in the side navigation bar (rather than the top navigation bar)
• Team members have the ability to select other events under the event dropdown list (side navigation)
• Team members have the ability to select another exhibitor within the same event under the exhibitor dropdown list (side navigation)
• Updated UI and order of pages on the side navigation

Stay tuned, as we are working to deliver more Exhibitor Center related improvements in the coming months!

Our platform now displays the current consumption status of the current plan and gives the option for organizers on the Free Plan to upgrade to the Starter Plan.

With this update, organizers can monitor the usage of their plan in real-time.

For organizers on the Free Plan, the upgrade feature provides the opportunity to access additional features and services to enhance their event.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates and features from our platform!

We are thrilled to announce a significant update to our platform that aims to improve the quality of connections and meetings for all our users. With the growing presence of spammers and bots on networking platforms, it has become essential to prioritize genuine connections and combat unwanted solicitations. Our latest feature allows us to address this issue effectively by limiting the number of connection and meeting requests users can send within a specific period.

How does it work?

To promote meaningful interactions and prevent abuse, we have implemented a connection and meeting request limitation feature. When users attempt to send an excessive number of requests within a specified time frame, our system will intervene to maintain a high standard of user experience.

Upon reaching the connection or meeting request limit, users will receive the following alert: "You have exceeded the allowable number of consecutive requests. Please try again later."

By implementing this feature, we aim to create a safer and more enjoyable networking environment for all our users!

Registration just got a lot easier! 

With the new embeddable registration widget users never have to leave your website. Not only is the full functionality of the registration form available, but it also offers some extra perks.

In addition to embedding the registration form, a ticket-specific form can be embedded without exposing the other ticket types. This will allow registrants to skip the ticket selection and begin registering without the worry of them going back and choosing an unintended ticket type. The use of our registration widget be helpful in situations where you might have a VIP registration form or even an employee form.

Note that only the website domains that are already associated with your organization will be allowed to embed the site. That means if the organizer’s email is pat@acme.com then any website that is in the form of *.acme.com can embed the registration form. In this example, that could look like events.acme.com, conference23.acme.com, or even www.acme.com.

To get the code snippet simple go to the Event Builder and choose Registration Mode. When Swapcard’s Registration is enabled you’ll be able to copy the code from there.

We are actively working on the redesign of the notification management in the studio. In this phase of the redesign, we have improved the notification main page with the following changes:

• Notification table has been redesigned for better visibility at one glance
• Improvement of “Target type” section to show who will receive the notification
• Improvement of “People targeted” section to display the number of people targeted
  

• The notification creation page includes the following changes:

  • Each section displays more description for a better understanding
  • Targeting options have been expanded, so you can choose a single condition or combine multiple conditions with positive and negative relationships to target the right contacts for each campaign
  • Display of event timezone for planned notifications

🎯Target improvements

Here we have improved the target section for organizers to define a precise target for the notification to be sent

• The new condition “All people” is selected by default and allows to target every member of the event
• There is no limit of conditions (All people, groups, attendees of a sessions and selected exhibitor)
• A condition can have a “Group of condition”
• Organisers can add as many conditions they want

What is a group of condition ?

When selecting a first condition (except “ALL people”), a “Group of conditions” can be added to refine the target.

The “Group of conditions” that can be added as “AND” or “OR” are:

• Groups: the ability to select from existing groups
• People: ability to select specific people
• Attendees of a session: ability to select specific session(s)
• Selected exhibitor: ability to select specific exhibitor(s)

ℹ️ A “Group” can not be selected as a “Group of condition”

What is the “AND” and “OR” logic?

The logic “AND” or “OR” is displayed only if two conditions has been added.

Selecting “AND”

This means that All conditions in the group should be met to target the people

• Example: I want to target people (living in Germany AND speaking German) or active on the platform

Selecting “OR”

This means that Any conditions in the group should be met to target the people

• Example: I want to target people (living in Germany OR speaking German) and active on the platform

Number of people targeted

The goal is to display the number of people targeted by the notification’s conditions selected by the organizer and having access to the list for a closer look.

From the page edition, we have the following changes regarding a notification status:

• we have added 3 visible labels: “Planned”, “Sent” and “Failed”
• “Planned”, “Sent” and “Failed” can be deleted
• Only “Planned” and “Failed” notifications can be edited

Stay tuned for more exciting Notification manager improvements to become available soon!
