The latest updates to the Attendee App are being rolled out from Monday, July 27, 2026.
NOTE: This release’s improvements and issue fixes are only available in Modern theme apps.
Details
🚀 Improvements [Modern theme only]
Attendee Assistant Personalization
If requested, the Attendee Assistant can now provide personalized session recommendations based on an attendee’s profile and interests. If an attendee’s interests are unclear, the assistant will ask clarifying questions so it can offer relevant suggestions.
Within the AI chat/Attendee Assistant window, app users can now tap on Attendees, Speakers, Exhibitors, Sponsors or Session Descriptions to open a corresponding details screen.
Agenda component options
You can now set the following for Agenda/My Agenda components:
· Show Affiliations
· Show Presentation Type
· Presenter Layout Style (Detailed or Compact)
These new settings and visual changes align with the Agenda widget (Modern event website) for a consistent user experience.
To minimize disruption to events in progress, Attendee App users will only see the above changes after they enter/re-enter the app code. (In other words, if you update these settings partway through an event, your attendees may see slightly different things, depending on app version/when they accessed it.)
Other visual interface improvements
The Modern theme uplift has now been applied to the Agenda, My Agenda, Session Survey and Event Notes components, completing the agenda and all associated screens.
Live session streams and videos will now open outside of the app, in Remote Attendee Mode.
Engagement features such as live polls haven’t changed.
