December 20 - Event Portal 23.50
Admin List of Exhibitors
We’ve improved the block Organizations > Admin List by adding the ability to search and filter making it easier for admins to find exhibitors/organizations. Admins can search the list by name and filter by unapproved/approved and unpublished/published statuses.
November 30 - Event Portal 23.47
Sync Speaker Fields
Speaker fields from Global Admin can now be mapped to Event Portal. For this feature to be available, your site must be using our new Identity Provider and REST API.
To map speaker fields, navigate to Admin Panel > Site Building Tools > Profile Manager and edit or add the profile block where you want the fields. In the Field Editor, under the Add Field tab there should be a button ‘A2Z Personify OIDC IDP’; click this to add a speaker field from Global Admin.
Select the field to add, the type will auto-fill based on the selected field and click Add. Speaker Biography, Title, and Company are available to map. Once mapped, the fields will push any updates made from Event Portal into Global Admin and pull any changes from Global Admin into Event Portal.
These fields will sync with the nightly sessions sync, every 24 hours, and the manual sessions sync available in Admin Panel > Site Building Tools > Events Manager > Sync ThirdParty Events > ‘Sync Events’ button. Also, any changes made to the fields from Event Portal will be pushed to Global Admin upon saving the profile in Event Portal.
Twitter Logo Updated
The Twitter logo has been updated to the new X logo across the product.
November 22 - Event Portal 23.46
Speaker Types
Event Admin Roles, aka Speaker Types, can now be ordered in the Event Portal.

To reorder navigate to Admin Panel > Site Building Tools > Events Manager > Event Admin Roles; drag & drop using the left column to reorder the roles.
Child Sessions
The Event Portal now supports child sessions. In the list layout, child sessions will display indented under their parent session (Page Editor block is Events > List of Events; Module Layout must be set to ‘List’). Child sessions should be managed in Global Admin.

Exhibitor List
Issue Addressed
- We fixed an issue where removing an organization field association with a badge was causing the badge filtering to not work properly on the exhibitor list.
September 27 - Event Portal v23.38
Exhibitor Insights
We updated what is displayed for Exhibitor Insights. If advertisements are disabled for exhibitors, then advertisement-related analytics will not display for exhibitors, aka clicks and impressions. We made this update as an effort to reduce confusion for exhibitors by removing unnecessary analytics.
To disable advertisements, navigate to Admin Panel > Organizations Manager > Details table and uncheck ‘Enable Sponsorships’. The Exhibitor Insights block is Organizations > Organizations Insights.
Message Exhibitors
We have added the ability to message an exhibitor from their profile page. There is a new “Message” button that appears on the exhibitor’s cover photo. This will send a message to the organization owner/booth contact for the exhibitor.
September 20 - Event Portal v23.37
Exhibitors: Delete Logo & Featured Photo
Exhibitors can now delete their logo and featured photo. Previously, exhibitors could only replace the photos. The options to delete are available in the three-dot menu on the exhibitor profile page.
Note: The delete featured photo option only displays if the exhibitor has added a featured photo.
Call for Proposals: Private Reviews
We’ve added the ability to configure when proposal reviewers should be allowed to see other reviews.

This will control when reviewers are allowed to see other reviews and ratings.
September 13 - Event Portal v23.36

September 06 - Event Portal v23.35
Forms: Field Description
We updated form field descriptions so that they no longer scroll, they now fully display on the form. This should reduce confusion and ensure that users filling out forms do not miss any important field instructions. Field descriptions are added to a specific field in the Forms Manager > Category > Field Editor.
Exhibitor List
We improved the filtering of the exhibitor list by adding a loading state so that the list cannot be re-filtered while the list is still loading results.
August 23 - Event Portal v0823.23
Reorder Tasks
Tasks within the Exhibitor Hub can now be reordered. To reorder a task, click and hold on the task and drag it in the order that you want it to display for exhibitors.

This setting can be found on the Users > Browse Users block in Page Editor; select the segment you want to display in the ‘Member Segment’ dropdown field.
Sell Exhibitor Logo & Featured Photo
The ability for exhibitors to upload a logo and a featured photo can now be tied to a purchased level or an add-on. The level or add-on can be set up in the Organizations Manager > Add-Ons section in the Admin Panel. If nothing is selected, all exhibitors will be able to upload a logo and featured photo. If a level or add-on is selected, only exhibitors who have purchased it can upload.
The exhibitor logo appears on their profile and on the card-layout exhibitor list. Featured photo, if uploaded, will replace the logo on the card-layout exhibitor list.
Note: If your site is using the new IDP, the page URL cannot be edited by exhibitors. It will automatically use Exhibiting As for the vanity URL if the exhibitor has purchased the level or add-on associated.
Sell Exhibitor Vanity URL
The ability for exhibitors to set a vanity URL (specific URL for their profile page) can now be tied to a purchased level or an add-on. The level or add-on can be setup in the Organizations Manager > Add-Ons section in the Admin Panel. If nothing is selected, all exhibitors will be able to set the vanity URL. If a level or add-on is selected, only exhibitors who have purchased it can set their URL.
August 02- Event Portal v23.30
Lists
Lists, such as the attendee list and exhibitor list, have been updated to only allow a maximum of 50 items per page. This update was made due to performance concerns to ensure all items are accessible in lists. We added informative text on the block settings so admins know there is a max of 50.
Exhibitor Purchases
Exhibitor booth purchases are now granted once per day without requiring exhibitor log in.
Exhibitor Website
Issue Addressed

Automatically Feature Exhibitors Based on Purchase
Exhibitors can now be automatically featured based on a purchase, either an add-on or an upgrade level. There is a new section in the Admin Panel under Organizations Manager called ‘Featured > Organizations’. This section allows admins to select which add-on or level should make an exhibitor featured.
To set up the Featured block, navigate to the Page Editor for the main exhibitor directory page. Add the block Organizations > Organization List and update the title to ‘Featured’ or what you prefer the block to be titled. Check the option ‘Show Featured Orgs Only’, this will ensure that only the featured exhibitors display. We recommend using the Horizontal ‘Module Layout’ as it showcases exhibitors with more imagery and real estate. We also recommend checking ‘Disable Search’ to turn off search and filtering on the featured block. Save the block settings and save the page.
When an exhibitor purchases the selected item, they will automatically be added to the featured block. Exhibitors can also be added manually to appear on the featured exhibitor block; simply click ‘Associate Organization’ button to add an exhibitor.
Feature Exhibitors: Top of the List
We’ve updated the wording to communicate more clearly how top of the list featured exhibitors work in the Hub. The option to feature exhibitors by displaying them at the top of the main exhibitor list is available in the Admin Panel under Organizations Manager > Details section.
Select the exhibitor levels that should be displayed. The number of exhibitors that display at the top of the list at a time can be set in the block setting, ‘Top of List Orgs Per Page’, on the Page Editor screen.

The selected users will be automatically RSVP’d as going to the session and assigned the selected role. The added speakers will receive an email notification informing them that they have been added as a specific role to that session with a link to the session’s page.
Apr 12 - Event Portal v15.14
Exhibitors Sync: Single or Multiple Listing
With this release, the setting for “Booth Listing” in Global Admin now controls whether an exhibitor with more than one booth gets one profile or multiple profiles in the Hub.
This setting can be found in Global Admin under Event Settings > Event Configuration > “Booth Listing”.
- Setting this to “Single Booth Listing” will default exhibitors to having one profile listing, regardless of the number of booths they’ve purchased
- Setting this to “Multiple Booth Listing” will default exhibitors to having a number of profile pages equal to how many booths they’ve purchased
This rule can be broken for an individual exhibitor on the Booth Configuration page in Global Admin. For more information, reference the help article here.
