The Team Lead already helps you stay on top of what needs your attention across your event. Now, it can also and take you directly to the information you need.

For example:

And that’s in addition to everything the Team Lead already helps you manage across your event.

The Team Lead pulls together the work of your other agents and flags what needs you across your event:

All of this comes together in one daily briefing, with today’s priorities and anything overdue right at the top.

You get one place to see what needs attention, understand what’s already handled, and find product answers while you work — so you can spend less time tracking down information and more time moving your event forward.

When to use it:

Easier on the eyes. Dark mode is now live across Sessionboard—switch it on anytime under

On we're hosting a live walkthrough of the Enterprise Marketing Content Platform—the first system that connects the entire event content lifecycle, from capturing sessions to turning them into marketing that works before, during, and after your events.

You've got the event side covered. This one's for the folks right next to you: your marketing team. It's a look at how the content your events already produce becomes a year-round engine for registrations, trusted content, and pipeline.

So do them a favor—forward this and bring them along. It's the quickest way for them to see what's now possible with the content you're already creating.

Good news—there's a lot to explore this month. These updates make it easier to keep participants in the loop, tailor their experience, take work off your plate, and see how your events are tracking.

Take a look at what's new.

Choose how portal tasks are displayed— with drag-and-drop ordering.

Participants always know what to do next, reducing confusion and helping tasks get completed faster.

---

Enable Add to Calendar for sessions on a per-portal basis, customize invitation details from Program Settings, and include calendar links in emails using merge tags.

Help participants save sessions in one click, reduce missed sessions, and improve attendance.

---

Admins can now link related Awards submissions, such as multiple nominations for the same nominee. Reviewers evaluate only the primary submission while keeping any related submissions available for additional context. Interest Form submissions can also be linked or merged.

Eliminate duplicate reviews, ensure each nominee is evaluated only once, and give reviewers the complete context they need to make confident decisions.

---

Declined and withdrawn sessions, abstracts, applications, and related tasks are automatically hidden.

Participants see only what's relevant, creating a cleaner, more intuitive experience.

---

Admins can now notify portal users whenever visible fields on their submissions are updated. Notifications are grouped into a single email for changes made within 60 seconds.

Our team is around whenever you need us—reach out anytime and we'll walk you through what's new.

We've got a lot to share this month. From quicker uploads that make your day-to-day smoother to brand-new features in beta, here's everything the team has been working on.

We rebuilt the headshot upload flow into one smooth step — upload, resize, rotate, and save, with fewer clicks. It respects the Headshot Settings and limits you already have, nothing changed about how or where images are stored, and we cleared out several bugs from the old editor.

speakers get through uploads faster, and your headshots come in clean.

---

The controls you use for speaker headshots now apply to sponsor and exhibitor logos. Set your size and format requirements, and bulk-resize a full batch at once.

your directory and event site stay consistent without editing logos one by one.

---

Point a new widget at any custom report as its data source, or start from a report and choose which dashboard to add it to. You can see how many widgets depend on a report, and override a widget's logic or de-link it when needed.

the data you already shaped in a report becomes a live dashboard view, with nothing to rebuild.

----

Click the wrap-text icon and long values wrap inside the cell instead of getting cut off. Your preference is remembered as you move between table views, just for you.

no resizing columns just to read what's in your directory.

---

Balance review loads across your filtered reviewers in Evaluation Plans 2.0 and Awards reviews. Select all reviewers or pick them manually, then set reviewers-per-submission and a cap per reviewer. You'll see a preview of the assignments before they go out, plus a heads-up whenever your rules can't all be met.

you catch coverage gaps before assignments go live, not after.

---

With Reviewer Agent enabled, add Personas to any round. They're assigned submissions like any reviewer and appear in your reviews alongside your team. Assigned at the plan level, Personas answer that round's questions rather than the global Reviewer Agent questions — and you can run both together.

more review coverage and consistent scoring without adding people.

---

You can now select all records across every page in any Directory or Dashboard view. Choose everything on a page and you'll get a prompt to expand the selection to all records across all pages — which removes the old "100 emails at a time" limit, along with other caps that came with it.

a bulk action covers your entire list in one move, not one page at a time.

----

Email Campaigns now supports your event email domain.

campaigns send from a domain your audience already recognizes, not a generic one.

----

Select multiple sessions and assign them all as sub-sessions under a parent session in one step.

building out a multi-track or multi-part agenda takes a fraction of the clicks.

----

The long sidebar, regrouped into modules — Manage, Relate, Market, Deliver, Attend — with one open at a time and a Pinned zone you can drag to reorder. It works across your organization and event sidebars. Nothing is removed, everything you have today is still there, and it's fully reversible.

Why it matters: you find what you need faster, without scrolling past a wall of links.

Lots of updates coming your way over these next few weeks. As always, please reach out to us at support@sessionboard.com if you need anything. We appreciate you.

Build a dashboard widget directly from any custom report, or start from the dashboard and point a new widget at an existing report as its data source. Either way, the logic you've already built carries over. 🔄

To keep dependencies clear, each report now shows how many widgets rely on it. And when a widget needs to evolve on its own, you can override its logic and disconnect it from the source report at any time.

Stop rebuilding the same logic twice. Custom reports become reusable building blocks for your dashboards — create once, visualize everywhere, and keep every team aligned around the same numbers.
