Coordinating and managing content from speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors can be a tedious and time-consuming task. The current manual process of collecting and integrating this content into your event app can take up valuable resources. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce a game-changing feature that will revolutionize how you manage event content: speaker and sponsor collaboration. Streamlined content management Our new speaker and sponsor collaboration feature empowers event planners to streamline the content management process. It offers an effective solution for planners to collaborate seamlessly with speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors, allowing them to manage their dedicated sections within the event app independently. Custom collaboration forms With speaker and sponsor collaboration, event planners can effortlessly create and distribute custom collaboration forms. These forms are tailored to each individual speaker, sponsor, or exhibitor, providing them with a direct channel to upload their content directly into the event app. Simplified content integration This enhanced collaboration functionality aims to simplify the integration of speaker, sponsor, and exhibitor content into your event app. By saving time and effort for everyone involved, you can focus on delivering an exceptional event experience. Key features:Customizable emails & fields: planners have the flexibility to enable collaboration fields, select desired items for collaboration, and even customize emails and messages to be sent to collaborators. Collaborator interaction: collaborators can conveniently interact with the collaboration form, which is public and doesn’t require a login, allowing for multiple submissions. Efficient filtering: the feature tables can be filtered by new headers, simplifying bulk actions based on email status and collaboration form status. Track collaboration status: new fields (collab email and collab form) empower planners to monitor collaboration form creation, content submissions, and form closure. Daily email updates: event planners receive daily email summaries of collaboration submissions, granting direct access to the platform for further review. Manage link access: event planners can easily manage collaboration form access by deactivating, reactivating, or regenerating links.
