We’re happy to introduce a new enhancement to the interactive event map: a filter to focus on bookmarked exhibitors. This feature makes it easier than ever for attendees to locate and navigate to their favorite exhibitors, saving valuable time and improving their event experience.

The new filter allows attendees to personalize their journey at the event. By focusing on the exhibitors they have bookmarked, attendees can plan their day efficiently, ensuring they don’t miss out on key connections. This is particularly valuable for large-scale events where navigating through multiple halls and hundreds of booths can feel overwhelming. With a simple checkbox, the map now becomes a tailored guide, helping attendees prioritize their visits and stay organized.

For exhibitors, this improvement translates to increased visibility and targeted traffic. Attendees who bookmark their booth are already interested, creating more meaningful interactions and higher-quality leads. By driving these intentional visits, exhibitors can maximize their ROI and make stronger business connections.

In addition to improving efficiency and satisfaction for both attendees and exhibitors, this feature enhances overall event engagement. Attendees can focus on their goals, whether it’s discovering new partners, strengthening existing relationships, or exploring specific offerings.

Start bookmarking your must-visit exhibitors and make the most of the interactive event map. Your next key connection is just a click away!

• Add as many mappings as needed, with the option to set a default group for unmatched records.

2. Flexible Data Overwriting and Case Formatting

Fine-tune how field data is imported and updated with custom settings:

• Case Format Options: Ensure field values are formatted to fit your needs with choices like original case, UPPERCASE, lowercase, and capitalization options.

Custom configurations for fields are clearly marked with an indicator for easy tracking.

Benefits

Studio empowers organizers to initiate credit card refunds without having to leave Studio – streamlining the process and reducing the stress of using multiple tools.

How this feature will function?

When organizers access an individual registration record, they can opt to issue a full or partial refund of a valid credit card transaction. Cancellations and ticket downgrades can easily be accommodated. With the flexibility to issue full or partial refunds and it is easy to accommodate cancellations and ticket changes. In the case of a full refund, the entire transaction sum will be reimbursed to the original payment method. For partial refunds, organizers can specify the refunded amount (not surpassing the initial transaction value).

Organizers have the opportunity to thoroughly examine the refund before finalizing it. Once confirmed and processed, the refund will promptly appear in the individual's transaction history within Studio.

Invoices and credit statements will still need to be issued from Stripe. Stay connected for additional enhancements similar to this one that are on the horizon.
