Add a Meeting Description to your Meetings

A new meeting description field is to be added to our meeting request feature, making it easier for you to communicate important details with your meeting participants.

With this new feature, besides the optional chat message, you can now specify locations, agendas, or any other meeting specificities in the meeting description. This will not only help you to better organize your meetings but also boost your acceptance rate by providing your participants with more information about the meeting.

The meeting description field is only accessible by the meeting organizer and can be added or edited at any time before the meeting takes place. This ensures that all participants are on the same page and have a clear understanding of the meeting's purpose and objectives.

We understand that every meeting is unique and may require different information to be shared with participants. That's why we have made the meeting description field customizable, allowing you to tailor it according to your specific meeting needs.

To add or edit the meeting description, simply go to the meeting page or request a meeting, and click on the "Edit" button next to the description field. You can then type in your meeting details and save the changes. The meeting description will then be visible to all participants.

Enhanced Content Widgets for a Better Experience and Control

The Swapcard widgets now come in a new version that improves both performance and customization options for event organizers embedding content into their websites.

💡 What are Swapcard widgets and why use them?

Widgets allow you to showcase key event information on your own website, eliminating the need to update information in multiple places. This ensures consistency, saves time, and offers a seamless attendee experience. Widgets can be used to display your event's schedule, list of exhibitors, speakers, and attendees, keeping visitors informed and connected.

What's new:

🚀 Script-enhanced widget for smoother integration

A new version of the widget is available and includes a lightweight JavaScript script. This new setup:

  • Automatically adjusts the height of the widget, eliminating the need for inner scrollbars
  • Prevents the “double scrollbar” effect that occurs when an iframe doesn’t fit well into the page
  • Improves overall performance

🔄 Infinite scroll toggle

Organizers now have the choice to enable or disable infinite scroll:

  • Enabled: Content loads seamlessly as users scroll (ideal for standalone pages)
  • Disabled: A "Load more" button appears instead, allowing users to explore additional content at their pace — particularly useful if the widget is placed above other elements you want to keep accessible.

🧩 Still need iframe-only?

For platforms or CMSs that don’t support custom scripts, the original iframe-only version remains available and functional — just with fewer customization and SEO capabilities.

You can configure and preview your widget in the Pages & menu section of the Event Builder.
