We’ve rolled out a set of updates focused on better communication and workflow clarity! From new Additional Contacts options to refined email sending and smarter integration management, these improvements should help make life a litter easier.

✅ New Features
1) Dedicated "Additional Contacts" view
You now have a dedicated view of all additional contacts. Previously, there was no great way to see all of these additional contacts in one place. Now, you can filter, sort, export, select and email them directly.
To access the view, in your Events sidebar: Contacts -> Additional Contacts
-
2) Import Additional Contacts
More additional contacts love! You can now import up to 3 additional contacts per contact that you import. This makes it easier to import the details of assistants, collaborators or others that need to have access to someone's profile on their behalf.
To access this, you can go through the process of importing any contacts (e.g. speakers, chairpersons, etc.) and you will see the option to map to the follow Additional Contact details:
- Addtl. Contact First Name
- Addtl. Contact Last Name
- Addtl. Contact Email
- Addtl. Contact Role
-
3) Improved Email Recipient Options
When sending messages via Sessions, you now have improved ways to send to different subsets of your participants. You can now send messages for selected sessions to:
- Everyone (Session submitters, speakers, chairpersons and moderators)
- Participants (Session speakers, chairpersons and moderators)
- Speakers
- Chairperson
- Moderators
-
4) Improved Sending to Additional Contacts
When sending emails to contacts, we have added increased flexibility for how you can include additional contacts. You can now select from the following options:
- Include additional contacts of the recipients as a CC on the email being sent
- Send only to the additional contacts of the recipients (and not the recipients themselves)
- or: do not include additional contacts

✨ Enhancements
1) Multiple Bizzabo Connection Support:
You can now connect multiple instances of your Bizzabo accounts under one organization. This is helpful for larger organizations that may have multiple Bizzabo accounts.-
2) Show/Hide Additional Fields in Portal Forms:
When viewing submissions to your Portal Forms, you can now Show/Hide additional fields that were not originally included on the form. 
-
3) Improved Filtering for Events at the Organization Level:
In order to accomodate some forthcoming functionality around managing your events as part of "Portfolios", we've moved event filtering into a modal. This will provide greater filter capabilities as we move forward.
-
4) Organization Navigation Updates:
To mimic the Event Navigation and allow us to add more capabilities to the Speaker CRM, we've re-worked some of the Organization navigation.- Events-> Your list of events
- Contacts-> Parent item for functionality related to your contacts across events such as viewing all your contacts and managing segments of contacts
- Content-> Parent item for managing all contact at the organization level and viewing content across your events, such as fields and files
-
5) Show Session Client ID in the Portal:
For events that prefer to use the Session Client ID (instead of our Session ID) when displaying sessions to portal users, you can now do that via the portal settings. To enable it, toggle on the "Use Session Client ID" setting.
-
6) Set a custom title for portals:
When creating portals, you can now set a title for portal users to see. By default, the portals have shown the title "Home" -- you can now override this with anything you want.
