🚀 What's new?
Extra options in the new Event Website Builder
🌐 Premium templates, especially designed for events, are now available for purchase (and re-use), making it even easier to spin up a great-looking website in no time.
🗓️ The Agenda element now includes session handouts (documents) and search.
Reminder: In the interim transition period, the new builder and the legacy builder are both available (so choose your favorite, as you'll only be able create one event website per event). Eventually, Modern will be the default.
PLUS - Coming soon - you'll be able to add EventsAir elements like Speakers, Exhibitors, and Sponsors into your new websites.
Attendee Verification – clone your Contact Mapping setup
🆕 Cloning an event now also copies the Contact Mapping configurations for Attendee Verification (in the Setup Panel, Contact Module). Less work and faster setup to pre-fill from your customer or member database. Learn more about setting up Attendee Verification.
