🗓 Released on January 26th
✨ New year, new Events experience
Today we’re introducing a major update to the Events platform.This release focuses on making event creation easier and unlocking new types of appointment-based events — all without impacting your existing events.
Read on to learn what’s changing and what this means for your team and your Events.
💡 Tip
We recommend creating a test event on the day of the release to explore and get familiar with the new event creation experience.
🛠️ A new Event creation experience
The event creation interface just got a complete visual refresh. (no functionalities were changed, only the look & feel did)
The new experience is designed to be:
- More structured: information is more clearly organized, making it easier to understand where the relevant parts are
- More intuitive: smoother navigation from start to finish
- Easier to manage: less time spent when creating or updating events

Will this affect my existing events?
The update only changes the interface used to create and manage events. Existing event details and invitees remain exactly the same, only the look and feel of the settings has changed.
✨ Quick Create is here!
We know you don’t always have every event detail upfront, so we’ve reduced the required fields to the minimum 🚀
Create your event in seconds, then fill in the rest or come back to it later:
📍 Locations are now more flexible
Locations no longer require a company, and we’ve added a Maps integration to help you quickly find the right event address.
⚡ Customize QR codes and collaborate, right from event creation
Everything you need in one place for faster setup and smoother teamwork

- Create multi-day events with multiple slots
What can Timeslots be used for?
Timeslots unlocks new event formats, including:
- Press days
- Re-sees
- Store and showroom appointments
- Sample sales
- Trade shows

FAQs
Do you need a specific user role to use timeslots?
No, they will be open to all users who have the permission to create/edit Events.
Can timeslots overlap?
Yes, they can, but a slot name will be mandatory to be able to diferentiate between them.
Is is possible for an invitee to choose multiple slots?
For the first version only 1 RSVP is allowed per invitee.
What happens if a slot has reached capacity?
Invitees will still be able to see it but won't be able to RSVP to it.
Can slot capacity be changed after the event begins?
Yes, it can be updated at any time, it just can't be lower than the current number of invitees.
Will there be a waiting list option in case the slot is at capacity?
Not on this first version, but we might launch it in the near-future.
