For your participants can always keep better traceability of their activities and networking meetings, they can now download calendar files (.ICS) directly from their Virtual Stage.

They simply have to select the meeting or activity in their agenda once they login to the Virtual Stage, and there they'll find a button that will allow them to download the file. This way, they can add the activities or meetings that they consider most important in their Gmail or Outlook calendars.

Virtual events must always seek to be as close to face-to-face events in the sense that they must generate the greatest possible degree of interaction between participants.

For you to bring your participants closer and connect them with your event, we have partnered with Sparkup, an app that will allow you to organize activities such as quizzes, polls, and word clouds. You can also continue using Mentimeter, Slido, or other interactivity applications that allow you to generate the greatest possible engagement.

In order to facilitate the completion of your participants' registration forms, we have changed the format of the "Birthdate" field. With the new dropdown presentation, the client will be able to fill out their information more quickly.

Today we have the possibility of setting up a background image per activity, but in many cases, the image is the same and if you have multiple activities, you have to do it in all of them.

With this update, the idea is that you can set up a default background image in all activities, and if you need it you can only change it in the activities you choose.

Changes can arise at any time, and we know you must be able to tackle them as soon as possible. Now you can delete the background image of your activities in case you need to change the one previously set up.

You just have to go to your Workshop module and select the activity you want to modify. Next to the select image button, you will have the delete button which will allow you to set your Virtual Stage up from scratch.

Understanding our clients' needs and keeping up with the improvements of our collaborators, we have updated the Virtual Stage to integrate the upgrades of Zoom web SDK version 1.8.0.

Functionalities that were previously limited like the breakout rooms are now available within the Virtual Stage. This will allow you to divide your participants into small groups to perform different types of activities without having to access another page.

In order for you to give more detailed information to your participants on their invoices, we have included the payment date.

This will allow you to know exactly when the participant made their payment, this way being able to keep better traceability of your event.

For your participants not to miss any content that has been discussed in the chats, now they are not deleted. Let's say that you had to log out from the Virtual Stage or simply logged in late for an activity, now you can review what was being discussed prior to your entry to the platform.

In order to make it easier for your participants to access the event, we have now enabled a registration button on the home page of the Virtual Stage. Thus, people who have not yet registered for the event, but have the access link to the Virtual Stage, can be redirected immediately to the registration form.

If you want to enable this function you must go to "Virtual Stage Settings" and in the "General Settings" tab select the option "Enable registration link in login screen".

Your sponsors can now have more visibility at the event since you can include them on the website as well as all of their information. Our new module within the web composer will allow you to import all sponsors' information like you currently do with your speakers, activities, types of records, etc.

To include this module on your website, simply go to your web composer and click on the "Sponsors" option. Then choose the design you like the most and all your sponsors will automatically be displayed according to the categories you set up.

Now your participants will be able to send messages on different chat channels for different purposes. This improvement to the chat module will allow participants to use each chat for its specific purpose hence, not disturbing activities by discussing unrelated topics. For example, you can enable a support channel and there all participants can request help.

To enable these channels you just have to go to "Virtual Stage Settings" and once in there go to the "Modules" tab. Finally in the "Chat" option, you can set up the channels as you see fit.

We understand how important it is for your participants to know more about who the speakers are and what will be presented in the activities. For this reason, we have included a new module within the Virtual Stage in which all participants will be able to see the speakers' profiles, including their social networks and a description of them.

To activate this module, you need to enter "Virtual Stage settings" and in the "Modules" tab, enable "Speakers".

We understand that you want to offer the best experience to your participants, this includes making their tasks as easy as possible. That's why now when the participants confirm their networking meetings, they will receive the invites to their calendars in order to add them and keep better traceability.

We understand the need of our clients to customize their participants' experience when setting up networking meetings. With this in mind, you can now insert a background image to give your networking sessions more identity within the Virtual Stage.

You just have to go to the "User interface" tab and in the option "Background image for networking session" insert the one you would like.

At the end of our events, we want to know exactly what our participants did and how was their level of interaction in it. In order to see the activity of each participant in more detail, we have included the tab "Event Traces" where you can see, for example, the stands that the participants visited, or the activities in which they spent the longest and thus be able to have a better approach with them at the end of the event.

For this you just have to enter the profile of the participant whom you want further information about and click on "Event Traces" in the Eventtia back office.

Now you can provide a better experience to your participants while they wait for activities or networking meetings to start. With our new "Waiting image" feature you will be able to brand your sponsors, the speakers or simply set up a nice image for your participants and make their wait on the Virtual Stage more pleasant.

For this you'll only need to go to the "User interface" tab and in the "Waiting image" option, insert the one you want.

At Eventtia we always seek that the digital experience of our clients and their event participants is always the most satisfactory and complete as possible. This is why one of our deepest ideals is constant innovation, for which we have a highly trained team and efficient tools that enhance the experience of our users.

After seeing the level of acceptance that the Virtual Stage has had and the success it has brought to our clients, we have decided to focus our efforts on the business rounds that have become the main use case for Eventtia. Understanding the needs of our clients, we have migrated Twilio, a new very secure, and versatile platform for business conference meetings. This will be available for all your events from Friday, November 13 and in case you want to stay with the current platform, it will only be necessary to communicate it via help@eventtia.com.

Greetings.

To avoid your participants from having to fill in the survey on their emails, they can now do it without exiting the Virtual Stage. Just add your Surveys module and they can fill them in right away!

Now you can send live messages to your participants to inform them about changes in the agenda or simply communicate an announcement regarding the activity that is happening. This new feature of the Event Commander will allow participants to receive information without leaving the Virtual Stage.

We all have a tough time dealing with rejection, but when explained it is easier to deal with it. This is why we enabled rejection reasons for participants to explain why they can't accept a meeting.

We understand how important it is for your sponsors to know the visits participants make to their stands. For this reason, we have included a new tab in the "Sponsors" module that will allow you to know which participants visit each stand.

In order to keep your activities organized in a timely manner, we've added different types of views for them. You can now choose to see your activities by month, week, day, or list in order to keep better track of them in your back office.

With the new improvements we made it is now possible to add the website and Instagram field for the speakers. You will also have the possibility that this data is now added to the API.

Keeping traceability and control of our events is essential, that is why in addition to the reports that you can download from your platform, you can now use the Live Event Commander. With this tool you will be able to see live data of all the activities taking place in your Virtual Stage, see how meetings are taking place and send live announcements among other features.

To access the Event Commander you just have to click on the "Launch Event Commander" button which will appear in the upper right corner of your Dashboard.

To keep better track of the activities your participants will be attending, we have now enabled the ability to send calendar invited as .ICS files. Participants will be able to include them in their Google Calendars in order to be reminded prior to the event.

To enable this feature, go to the "Program" module and in "Advanced Settings" activate the option of which activities you want to send an invitation to your participants. This will allow participants to keep track of activities in their calendars and prevent them from forgetting about them.

In order to have a better interaction between the speakers and the participants, we have enabled the option of emotions in the Virtual Stage. Participants will be able to express their feelings through emoticons that will be seen by all those attending the event.

Now your participants will be able to evaluate their interactions with other participants during their networking sessions.

This will allow you to measure the ROI of your networking events, to know in greater detail the business possibilities that were generated, successful connections that were made, among other important data to know the impact of your event.

Participants can now have autonomy over their availability when scheduling appointments. Our new functionalities allow the participant to block time slots in which they're not available, as well as canceling a previously accepted appointment if necessary inside the Virtual Stage.
