New features event portal websites

If your company or organization hosts many events, an Event Portal is great for displaying all of the ongoing and upcoming events. Today we are announcing three new features to enhance your Event Portal website. Additionally, we’ve updated the names of some of our website content blocks.

Add an event calendar
In addition to displaying events in a list format, you are now able to display events in calendar format. Users can easily navigate the calendar, and filters can be applied so that it is easier to view different types of events.

Make your portal private
Don’t want to let just anyone see all events you are hosting? By setting your Event Portal as private, you decide who has access to your website. 


Display “Other Events”

At times, you may want to showcase or inform visitors to your Event Portal about events hosted by another organization. With the “Other Events” feature you are able to display non-Attendease events in the event list and calendar.

Providing a Better Attendee Experience With Five New Features

Providing a Better Attendee Experience With Five New Features

We’ve been busy here at the Attendease Hive improving our platform. We are excited to announce five new features that will support providing a better attendee experience.

File Uploads in Registration Forms

During the registration process there is a lot of important information to capture. We are excited to announce two new registration form components that allows your attendees to upload files during registration:

  • File upload: Choose what type of file you want your attendee to upload
  • Profile photo: The uploaded image is connected to the attendee’s profile photo

Add and configure these form components as you would any other form component on your registration form. 

Members now have the ability to access their Attendee account from any screen. By clicking “My Account” the attendee will see the option to go directly to the screen where they can manage their registration, view their invoice, and more. Note: This option will only appear if you have enabled your attendees to access their attendee accounts.

Account Access

Manage “My events”

We are excited to announce this new feature for Organizations and Business Units using the Event Portal Sites. When someone is signed into their Member Account, they are now able to navigate to the “My Events” page. On this screen, the Member will see all upcoming and past events they have registered for. 

Filter and Register for Sessions

Attendees are now able to filter and register for sessions, view their personalized session schedule, and access session surveys with the click of a button using the Advanced Session Schedule block.

Choose Schedule Time Zone

Attendees can now control in which time zone sessions are displayed. Choose between displaying the sessions:

  • in the event’s time zone
  • in the attendee’s time zone
  • or, give your attendees the ability to choose themselves

This feature is available for the Advanced Session Schedule block, Session Schedule block, Event Listing block, and the  Scheduling Widget.

Simplifying Event Management

By now, you probably know that our number one priority is to help make your job easier. That’s why we are constantly updating and improving our platform, so event professionals can optimize their work and work smarter, instead of harder. Here are some of the latest platform enhancements that we are proud to share with you!

Advanced Session Schedule

With our latest feature—the Advanced Session Schedule block—you can control exactly how you want your event schedule to appear. Like the Session Schedule block, scheduling data dynamically syncs with your event site keeping your schedule or agenda perfectly up to date.

Along with increased control and flexibility for the schedule layout, this block also supports speaker company logos, session sponsors, live-stream and on-demand video content, session attachments, and more. Learn More.

Private Invitations

Whether you’re planning an internal company meeting, an exclusive event, or anything in between – Private Invitations is a feature you don’t want to miss. This new feature lets you decide who is allowed to register by restricting registration to those individuals who have received an invitation. Learn More.

Free event? Choose how passes are displayed

If your event is free you are now able to choose how (and if) event passes are displayed. Make your selection on the Registration Options screen.

Customize your speaker order

Decide which order you want your event speakers to appear in by enabling the setting on the Speakers block and assigning an order value to each speaker. Learn More.

More options when selecting your event currency

Multi-currency options at the event level give you greater flexibility when you are creating your event. In addition to Canadian and US Dollars, you are now able to choose if event transactions will be completed with Pound Sterling (GBP) or Euros. Note that only one currency per event can be selected. This feature is available for all customers. If you want to set this up for your organization, please contact your Customer Success Manager or email [email protected].

Enhancements to the Business Units screen

In our latest instalment of our platform-wide design refresh, we are introducing a new look to the Business Units screen. Immediately see the number of events, members, and event attendees in your organization. 

More Enhancements

We have also released a handful of additional enhancements, including:

  • Improvements to the responsive abilities of event websites
  • Further design improvements of the user interface
  • Attendee Exports have been updated to include the attendee’s Pricing Group
  • Greater flexibility when creating Registration Codes – you can now include non-numerical and non-alphabetical characters

We don’t want to brag (ok, maybe just a little) but Capterra recently named us to its Top 20 Most User-friendly Event Management Software list. Capterra evaluated 400 event management solutions in its annual review, rewarding points for usability, customer service, and average reviews scores. We’re thrilled to be named the 12th most user-friendly solution. Plus, Attendease event management software ranks the highest among those serving mid market and enterprise customers.

 Twelve years ago, Attendease started as a trio of friends with a dream of creating an event management and automation platform that would enable event planners to grow and scale their events with ease. We wanted to develop a user-friendly tool that would help event marketers run successful events of all types and sizes, without needing an army of developers and designers.

Attendease founders

“At Attendease, we understand the frustration of struggling with unwieldy event management platforms with cumbersome interfaces and complicated processes. The struggle is over.

Our modern event management software makes planning, launching, and managing your events a simple, worry-free experience—whether you’re a team of 20 hosting a national user group conference or an army of one planning a webinar.

We’re thrilled that Capterra, one of the most reputable review sites in the industry, has recognized how simple it is to create and manage an unlimited number of events with our visual event management tools. With Attendease, event marketers can publish and manage their entire portfolio of events simultaneously, regardless of type, size, or date. Plus, Attendease lets you clone an existing event and publish it in minutes! So it’s no surprise that, of all the corporate event management platforms targeted at enterprises, Capterra ranked Attendease highest on the ‘user-friendly’ scale.

 We’re no stranger to accolades (we won the Event Technology Award for Best Event Website / Mobile Site in 2016) but the Capterra award is a true feather in our cap, honoring one of our core strengths—an intuitive, user-friendly experience.
