Release Notes v13.0 - 20.08.2021

  • The organizer can now globally decide whether questions or ratings are possible on talks & posters.
  • Videos or livestreams can now be included in tiles on the dashboard.
  • In an individual talk, external links can now also be included as content. Previously, this was only possible for only in the session overview.
  • If a participant has a Poster in the Virtual Venue, it will now appear near the top of their profile details.
  • In the session list there is now a new filter to hide past sessions. This filter is enabled by default and is intended to help users easily navigate to upcoming program items first.
  • Within a session, we now display the next session in the same track to allow for an easier transition into subsequent sessions. For programs without tracks, this works the same way.
  • If a session is constrained by a check-in list and requires certain packages to be booked by attendees, there is now no need for session managers for that session (chairs and presenters) to also be on that check-in list. Within the Virtual Venue, these roles now have unrestricted access to sessions.
  • Attendees can now provide anonymous feedback on the platform. This information helps Converia better understand and further optimize the platform to meet the needs and expectations of the end-users.
