Release Notes v12.0 – 13.07.2021

  • Linking social media profiles is more user-friendly.
  • Participants can now add company profiles from Xing and LinkedIn to their Virtual Venue profile. Previously, these were not supported.
  • The event program can now be added directly to the Virtual Venue backend without using the Converia Conference Planner. Importing from the Conference Planner is still supported.
  • The merging of people in Converia is now handled automatically during the synchronization with the Virtual Venue. This eliminates the need to rely our support team to remove duplications (This feature requires an update to Converia 8.1).
  • A list of sponsor logos can now be placed on the home page to increase the visibility of sponsors in addition to the single banners in the tile display. This feature can be set and modified independently in the backend.
  • In sessions and talks, we have optimized the display for long content, such as abstracts, so that the interaction options are not lost from view as a result.
  • People who once had access to the event but subsequently had their access revoked, can now be mapped in the Virtual Venue. In this case, these persons will no longer appear in the list of active participants, but will continue to be marked where they have interacted (e.g. questions asked, chats) and their contribution will remain visible.
