Session Interaction Customization

Organizers can now customize the session interaction container to their event's needs.

The session interface is now adjustable, allowing organizers to hide or unhide tabs and rearrange them, minimizing distractions and emphasizing priorities. Plus they can define the name of the live interaction button.

Custom Tabs in Session Live Interactions

Introducing Custom Tabs in the Session Live Discussion Box for enhanced customizations.

Organizers can further personalize the experience by incorporating both static and dynamic URLs to tailor content and create a more engaging experience.

Multiple Meeting Requests for Participants

Maximize your networking capabilities with this time-efficient feature! Take advantage of the ability to send up to five meeting requests to a single attendee or exhibitor, ensuring you don't waste any time connecting with potential opportunities. This improvement enables users to explore a variety of potential connections, facilitating quicker decision-making on which meetings to attend.

Enhanced Security with 2-Step Authentication

Security is at the heart of our mission, and the new 2-step authentication for the app emphasizes our commitment to user security. This update reinforces the security and protection of users' accounts by introducing an additional layer of security, significantly raising the difficulty of unauthorized access.
