We are introducing a powerful new feature designed to supercharge your events: Hosted Buyer Meetings are now available in your event Studio!

If you're organizing a Hosted Buyer event, this new capability makes it easier than ever to deliver curated, high-value meetings between buyers and sellers—all with measurable ROI and enhanced engagement for everyone involved.

This new Hosted Buyer feature is all about making your event more efficient, engaging, and results-driven. With a smart, homemade matching engine at its core, it automatically creates 1-on-1 meetings tailored to your rules—ensuring that the right people connect at the right time. You have complete control over the setup, from time slots and meeting locations to selection rules, filters, and participant profile fields, allowing you to fully customize the experience to suit your event’s needs. The participant journey is seamless too—they can easily indicate who they must meet, would like to meet, or prefer not to meet, making the matchmaking process intuitive and personalized. This curated approach not only boosts engagement and attendance but also leads to more meaningful interactions. And when the event wraps up, you’ll have access to clear, actionable insights so you can measure ROI, track which meetings actually took place, and ensure your stakeholders saw real value.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Set It Up in the Studio
   Head to your Studio and configure your Hosted Buyer settings:

   • Define participant groups (e.g., buyers and sellers)
   • Choose a name, icon, and filters for the meeting page
   • Select profile fields and group matching rules
   • Set the number of meetings per participant and how many selections they're allowed
   • Schedule your selection window (start/end dates)
   • Pick available time slots and meeting locations

2. Participants Make Their Selections
   When the selection phase begins, participants receive an email with a link to their selection page. They can classify others into:

   • Must meet: absolutely want to meet
   • Nice to meet: would like to meet
   • Exclude: prefer not to meet
   • You decide how many choices each participant can make—and when.

3. Generate & Review Draft Meetings
   Once the selection window closes, you can review all selections and generate draft meetings—these aren’t visible to participants yet. You can:

   • Edit meeting details (time, location, status)
   • Delete or reassign meetings
   • Ensure everything looks perfect

4. Publish & Go Live
   Confirm the meetings, and voilà! They appear directly in each participant’s schedule. From there, they can:

   • Join
   • Reschedule
   • Decline
   • Or add extra participants
5. Measure Success
   After the event, track which meetings actually took place to ensure your stakeholders got the value they expected.

This feature is your new secret weapon for high-impact events. Whether you're running buyer-seller meetups, investor pitches, or curated networking sessions, Hosted Buyer Meetings will help you create smarter connections, happier attendees and exhibitors, and more successful events.

New update to the Homepage Builder: Section Visibility Control!
This feature empowers organizers to fully tailor the homepage experience by defining exactly who sees what based on groups created in Studio and device types.

🧩 What’s New?

With this release, organizers can now:

• Manage group-specific visibility for each section on the homepage.
• Control whether a section is shown or hidden on desktop and/or mobile.
• Preview the homepage as a specific group to test visibility configurations.

You can now add a fully customizable FAQ section to your event Home page using the Page Builder. This new section type helps organizers address common attendee and exhibitor questions upfront, reducing repetitive inquiries and making event information more accessible.

Why it matters

The FAQ section empowers organizers to improve the attendee experience by proactively answering frequent questions right on the Home page. It's an ideal way to reduce support overhead and make event details easier to find.

Key Capabilities

🧩 Add it like any other section
Simply select the "FAQ" block from the Page Builder’s section options. It appears on your page immediately, ready to be edited.

📌 Starts with popular questions
To help you get started, the FAQ is pre-filled with commonly asked attendee during events questions, such as:

• “I can't find or access my ticket”
• “How do I connect to Wi-Fi?”
• “Will sessions be available on-demand?”

✏️ Full content control
You can edit, reorder, delete, or add new questions directly from the side panel. Each question includes a title and a detailed answer field. Updates are instantly reflected in the preview. And you can provide translations in more than 35 languages.

🧲 Dynamic content based on your event setup
If you’ve entered a support email in Studio, a helpful default question will appear: Still have questions about the event? Contact us at {{email}}

🔁 Share with Swapcard support
Enable the “Share my FAQ content with Swapcard” option to help our support team better assist your attendees. 

This addition builds on the new Home page builder released earlier, and is a great reason to start using it if you haven’t yet. It's an easy win for clarity, support efficiency, and attendee satisfaction. 🚀

To enhance the badge design process and ensure seamless printing with Swapcard GO! printers, we are introducing default badge sizes in Studio. These predefined sizes will help prevent formatting issues and make sure your badges are fully optimized for Swapcard GO! box and printers.

When designing badges in Studio, you will now see the following added formats:

1. Swapcard GO (4 x 6 in)
   A standard 4x6 inch badge format designed for optimal printing.
2. Folded Swapcard GO (4 x 12 in)
   A 4x6 inch badge with an additional blank 4x6 inch section below it.
3. Label (4 x 3 in)
   A classic 4x3 inch label-sized badge suitable for quick-print needs or smaller display areas.

Why This Update?

• Prevent Sizing Issues: By using the default formats, you can avoid designing badges that may not print correctly with Swapcard GO! printers.
• Streamlined Experience: Standardized sizes mean a smoother setup process and a hassle-free experience for event organizers.
• Optimized for Events: These formats ensure badges are compatible with the typical printing equipment used at Swapcard-powered events.

What You Need to Do

When creating badges in Studio, simply select one of the new default sizes to ensure compatibility. No additional configuration is needed!

This update is designed to make your badge printing experience easier and more reliable. Happy designing!

You can now resend registration confirmation emails on demand - either to individual attendees or in bulk, directly from your event dashboard.

2. Bulk Resend Confirmation Emails

Reaching out to multiple attendees at once has never been easier.

• Where to Find It:
  In the People list view, when filtered by Status: Registered.

• How It Works:

  • Select multiple attendees using the checkboxes.
  • A "Resend Confirmation Email" button will appear in the bulk action toolbar.

Missed, lost, or undelivered emails are no longer a problem. This feature helps you keep attendees informed while reducing support requests and boosting engagement.

AI Recommendations improvements continue, and this time, the Mobile user experience is enhanced! Inside the Exhibitors page, Exhibitors' recommendations will now be displayed to ensure easy access to your best interests. 

By clicking on it, you will have access to the full Exhibitor Profile to find the best information, book a meeting, or register for a session that your recommended exhibitor might host. The app offers up to 10 recommendations, and they are refreshed according to your interests over time. 

We’re thrilled to introduce a new feature that significantly enhances the attendee experience: the ability to download event passes as QR codes directly into Apple Wallet. This update provides a seamless, contactless solution for ticket access, enabling attendees to securely store and retrieve their digital passes with just a few taps—no more hunting through emails or apps for a ticket.
By replacing traditional paper passes or printed badges with digital QR codes, event organizers can streamline operations and provide a more modern, eco-friendly experience.

How to Enable the QR Code Wallet Feature in Studio

Organizers can activate this feature directly within the Studio platform:

1. Navigate to Event Builder
2. Go to Pages & Menu
3. Open the My Ticket page
4. In the Data section, enable the "Badge Wallet Download" option

Note: This option is only available if the ticket type is set to QR Code or Swapcard Badge. Once enabled at the event level, this feature becomes available to all attendees.

How Attendees Use It

Once the feature is activated:

1. Attendees open the event app and navigate to the Ticket page
2. They view their QR code
3. Tap the “Add to Apple Wallet” button
4. The badge is then instantly saved to their device’s Wallet app

This streamlined process ensures attendees always have their badge on hand—no app navigation or manual ticket retrieval required.

Key Benefits of Adding QR Codes to Digital Wallets

• Accessibility - Digital wallet passes can be accessed with just a few taps
• Enhanced Security - fingerprint, face recognition, or passcodes on digital wallets add an extra layer of protection
• Faster Check-ins: QR code scanning significantly speeds up the check-in process, reducing queues and wait times at the event entrance
• Automated Validation: Real-time validation of QR codes, ensuring that only valid and unused tickets are accepted
• Reduced Printing Costs: Eliminating physical tickets saves on printing and distribution costs.
• Lower Risk of Loss: Digital tickets are less likely to be lost or damaged

A Smarter, Greener Event Experience

This enhancement is more than just a tech upgrade—it reflects a shift toward more sustainable and user-friendly event practices. By going digital, event organizers reduce their environmental footprint while delivering a premium experience for attendees.
Enable this feature today in Studio and take your event to the next level.

Logging in just got way less annoying 🤗

We've made a few UX quick wins that may be small on paper, but feel huge in practice:

• Autofill magic ✨: If you’re using a native email app, your one-time code now appears magically without the need to go to your mail app!
• No more dashes: We’ve stripped the “-” from the OTP code both in emails and on the app. Because typing shouldn’t feel like solving a puzzle.
• Instant focus: Land on the OTP page and your cursor’s already in the first box, ready to roll.

Less clicking, less thinking, more getting-stuff-done.
