The latest EventsAir release (Version 16.3.8) is due to be rolled out from Monday, April 13 and includes various improvements and resolutions.
🚀 What's new?
Event website - Generate AI images
You can now generate AI images inside your Modern event website builder (using your own Google Gemini key). See example screenshot of the setup and prompt below. There's also a help video available in the Modern Website Builder (help tools bar).
Event website - Accessibility improvements (interactive elements)
The Modern event website builder already makes it easy to create more accessible promotional websites for your event. Now, following an accessibility review, we've implemented and verified fixes and updates.
These updates ensure improved compliance with accessibility standards (e.g., WCAG) and enhance usability for all users, including those relying on assistive technologies. The following elements have been updated to ensure proper accessibility behavior:
Accordion
Tabs
Carousel
Buttons
Forms
Menus
Media components (Video, Audio, Playlist)
Tables
Login
And other interactive components
These improvements include better keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and overall interaction consistency.
📌Other improvements
Interactive Sites – more phone number validation fields
To help ensure you capture phone number data more accurately, the "enforce phone number format" option has been added to more fields, : Local Mobile, Home, Fax, Billing Phone, Billing Fax, and Office Number. It's switched off by default so won't affect existing sites.
Attendee App release
The release includes fixes for alerts and date format on the home screen (for US format).
⚒️ Issues fixed
Online Panel
Event Website (Modern)
The Exhibitors website widget didn't consistently apply font changes to the Details view — updating the font style now displays the selected font correctly across both the "Card" and "Details" views. [Ref: PE-1881]
The Speakers website widget displayed only one session, even if a speaker was assigned to multiple sessions. [Ref: PE-1921]
Interactive sites
Drop-down selections based on display logic were removed if the site user revisited the Summary Page. [Ref: AE-1593]
Setup Panel
Custom Fields - checkbox labels with long text didn't display correctly (looked cramped or overlapped). [Ref: PE-1976]
