Every event comes with different demands — from managing meeting structures and schedules at scale to helping attendees discover the right people and content. 

In Q3 2026, we introduced six updates across semantic discovery, meeting management, schedule printing, search, external integrations, and branded domain security. Together, they give event teams more flexibility while strengthening the experiences and infrastructure behind their events.

1. Semantic Data Upgrade: Build a stronger foundation for semantic discovery

What’s New

Our Data Mesh has been upgraded with deep semantic capabilities that allow event data to be represented based on meaning and context.

Key updates include:

• Semantic vectorization: Event data is vectorized specifically for semantic fluency.
• Cross-content understanding: Semantic relationships can be identified across People, Products, Agenda, and Speakers.
• Beyond exact matches: The data can support relationships between different terms and concepts that express similar meaning.

Benefits

This creates a stronger foundation for wider discovery across event data, making context less dependent on the exact terminology used to describe people, products, sessions, and speakers.

2. Semantic Annotations: Visual cues for attendees to know why a profile is worth looking at

What’s New

Building on the semantic data upgrade, Semantic Annotations gives attendees more context around why a result matches their search. It provides visible cues that help attendees understand why a profile is worth exploring.

Key updates include:

• Know why this matches: Highlight the terms, attributes, interests, or titles that connect as a result to the query.
• Profile highlights: Surface the profile attributes that align with an attendee’s search, giving them a clearer signal of the profile’s relevance. 

Benefits

By understanding the context behind search results and highlighting the attributes that make them relevant, Semantic Annotations helps attendees discover and evaluate potential matches more quickly. Instead of having to scan through a full profile to manually find relevance, key matches to a search and user’s interests will be prominently highlighted to aid the user in evaluating the profile.

3. Branded Domain Security Upgrade: An added layer of protection for your event domain

What’s New

We are bringing the standardized security layer that exists within our platforms to all domains, including your branded event domains. 

Key updates include:

• WAF protection: Traffic to all domains is now filtered through a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to help identify and block unwanted traffic before it reaches the platform.
• Threat protection: WAF rules help protect against unintended traffic such as Port Scanning, DDOS, and Top 10 OWASP Vulnerabilities.

Benefits

Domains are an important part of an event’s digital experience, so protecting them from unwanted and potentially harmful traffic is essential. This added security layer helps provide a more protected foundation for your attendees’ data and their event experience.

4. External API Updates: Access event-wide data with fewer API requests

What’s New

Our external API has been updated to make it easier for connected systems to work with event data at scale, while strengthening how API access is managed.

Key updates include:

• Event-level endpoints: Retrieve data across an entire event in a single request, including timetables, pending meeting requests, bookmarks, and conversations.
• Time-bound authentication: Access credentials now expire, giving you greater control over how long API access remains valid.

Benefits

These updates reduce the operational overhead of event data integrations and strengthen security by limiting how long API credentials remain valid.

5. Meeting Design Enhancements: Build your meeting flow on your terms

What’s New

Organizers can now configure and adjust key meeting settings directly from Sense, without relying on support for every change. This gives event teams more control over how meetings are structured and as event requirements evolve.

Key updates include:

• Fixed Meeting Locations: Designate specific zones for meetings directly in Sense.
• Priority Meetings: Set up priority meeting groups without external support.
• Communication Control: Manage how meeting details are shared with meeting participants.

Benefits

Meeting requirements can change throughout the event setup process. Being able to make these adjustments directly helps organizers respond faster without adding another step to the workflow.

This means event teams can move from meeting setup to launch with fewer dependencies on support.

6. Standardized Print Schedule: Print consistent schedules at scale

What’s New

We’ve standardized the schedule printing experience across Web and Native App to make bulk schedule preparation more consistent and reliable for event teams.

Key updates include:

• Consistent experience across platforms: Similar print layout and behavior across Web and Native App.
• Built for bulk printing: Group schedules automatically break into individual pages.
• Reliable output: Content loads before printing to produce complete and accurate schedules.

Benefits

Printing schedules for large events can involve producing hundreds of individual copies. A standardized experience helps event teams handle this process with less manual intervention and greater confidence in the final output.

Curious how this works at your event?

From giving organizers more control over meeting setup to helping attendees find what they’re looking for, these updates are designed around the practical demands of running and participating in an event. And as event requirements continue to evolve, we’ll keep improving the tools and infrastructure behind those experiences.
