What’s New?
We’re introducing Widgets, a modern replacement for our existing I-Frame solution, designed to give event organisers greater flexibility, control, and ease of use.
With Widgets, you can now:
- Embed individual navigation items (e.g., Event Agenda, Native Lists, or Floorplans) as standalone widgets without the sidebar.
- Create a Full Event Widget with a sidebar for navigating multiple items, fully customisable to match your event’s needs.
- Choose from a variety of embeddable content, including:
- Event Agenda (or pre-filtered versions);
- Native Lists in both List and Grid styles;
- Floorplans;
- Video Library;
- Custom URLs.
- Customise the look and feel with advanced options, including hiding call-to-action buttons during draft event phases or removing Grip branding (available as paid add-on).
- Enjoy feature parity with the Web Networking app, ensuring a consistent experience across platforms.
