We recently introduced several new features to give you more control, flexibility, and efficiency when running your events.

New Website Headers

New Headers

We are offering new options to customize the header section of your event website and impress your audience.

  • Four layout options to create the right look and feel.

  • Customization settings for size, overlay opacity, image, text alignment, and more.

  • Navigation menu styling to choose between light or dark menus.

  • Promotional footer refresh for a more modern and appealing design.

Benefit: professional-looking websites with more flexibility and a cleaner layout.

Pricing

  • All existing plans benefit from advanced headers.

  • New Free and Essential plans include only the basic layout.

  • Advanced headers are included starting from the Advanced tier.

Important notes

The repeated page header (just below the menu on non-home pages) has been removed. This gives more space to your content and avoids showing the page name twice.

Try the new Fourwaves Assistant!

Fourwaves Assistant

The Fourwaves Assistant is designed to help you set up and manage your event more efficiently. It scans your event settings, website, and forms to detect issues and suggest improvements.

Benefit: fewer errors, improved efficiency, and smoother event preparation.

Features

  • Filters by severity: critical issues, warnings, suggestions.

  • Filters by category: general settings, submission form, registration form, website content.

  • Displays results as cards with details.

  • Allows re-runs of the analysis up to 5 times per day after corrections.

Extra features

  • Upvote suggestions you find useful and downvote less useful ones to improve the tool.

  • The Assistant will evolve into a proactive background helper.

Pricing

Available for free on all plans.

Tags

Tags connect your sessions to information such as keywords or session types that participants can use to filter the schedule.

Benefit: easier navigation for participants and more flexible track management for organizers.

  • A session can have one or more tags.

  • Tracks in existing schedules at the time of release were automatically converted to tags (tags do not have colors).

  • This prepares for the new track management feature coming in the fall.

  • Future feature: one colored track per session, plus track committees who will manage submissions and scheduling.

New Content Blocks

We have introduced four new content blocks to enhance your event website.

Benefit: professional and engaging websites that help you present your event clearly.

  • Content Rows: structure content with horizontal sections and alternate images. Control titles, images, and buttons.

  • Content Columns: organize content side by side for improved readability.

  • Video: embed an .mp4 file directly into your site. Choose its placement relative to text. (Requires video add-on)

  • Banner: create standout sections with a background image, text, and CTA button.

Pricing

The new content blocks are available starting from the Essential tier. The video block requires the video add-on.

Mass Edit Checkbox Fields

You can now edit checkbox fields in registration and submission forms in bulk.

Benefit: save time and avoid repetitive manual edits.

  • Append new values.

  • Replace existing values.

  • Remove values.

Show or Hide Columns in Data Tables

You can now choose which columns to display in your event data tables.

Benefit: a cleaner and more focused view of the data that matters most.

  • Your preferences are saved automatically.

  • Each time you return to a table, your chosen view is restored.

Wrap-up

These new features were designed to save you time, improve collaboration, and help you deliver smoother events.
