Changelog

We have made the following improvements to the Delegate Registration Form:

• Questions can now be duplicated

• The 'type' of question can be changed either when creating a question or once it has been created

• Limits can now be set on the number of selectable options

• A specific email address question can be added

• You can bulk add question options for radio/checkbox questions

We have improved the event setup flow.

Admins can either create a new event or, if they've used Oxford Abstracts previously, admins can now copy their existing event.

You can now collect and manage invited speakers separately from the standard submission flow.

• Create a customisable speaker form to gather speaker details and information about their talks.

• Speakers can submit via a shareable link, or organisers can add and edit them directly in the system.

Speakers and their talks can then be attached to programme sessions, and in the programme view, attendees can see speaker profiles, talk details, and any uploaded documents.

Take a look at our Knowledge Base article for step-by-step instructions on how to use Speaker Management.

We've introduced a redesigned session overlay to make exploring your programme faster and more intuitive.

When a session is selected, a panel now slides out on the right-hand side of the screen, displaying key session details. Attendees can easily view abstracts, speaker information, and more within the panel without leaving the programme.

Because everything opens within the overlay, attendees never lose their place—simply click the "X" to return to where you left off.

The event invoice design has been refreshed with a cleaner, more modern look to enhance clarity and overall visual appeal.

Admins can also now preview the invoice in real time while editing it.

The client dashboard has been transformed with a sleek new design that delivers a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.
