Ho-ho-ho...we bring you two new Conference features and release highlights from the past year:
NEW RELEASES
Single-click Session Enrollment via Email
Planners and Session Managers now have the ability to offer streamlined session enrollment by emailing an RSVP link to event attendees.
- When to use: Email Session Enrollment can be used whenever you’re looking to drive session enrollment. Whether you’re encouraging attendance for under-enrolled sessions or need to strictly control access to a special event, Email Session Enrollment allows you to target your audience and streamline your attendee’s enrollment.
- Who would use: Content Managers, Session Track Owners, Event Marketers, Group Registration Managers, and more!
Attendee-to-Attendee (A2A) Package Transfers
With A2A package transfers enabled for your event, conference attendees can manage package transfers to other attendees via a freshly redesigned interface
- When to use: Enable this feature to reduce load on your call centers and empower attendees to transfer their registration package to another attendee if they’re unable to attend the event. If the attendee is part of a group and they don’t own their registration package, Group Registration Managers can easily transfer a group member’s package to another recipient, if the original is unable to attend.
- Who would use: Attendees, Registration Managers, Event Support, and Group Registration Managers
