Workspace is like a virtual home to your events. It allows you to organize events and create them exactly the way you want â alone, together as a team, or across your whole company. Workspaces offer you two main advantages: it lets you to collaborate on events by sharing access with other organizers and it gives the possibility to structure and clean up your workbench by grouping together events of similar scope and access policy.Â
What can you do there?
Invite collaborators. Also cancel the invitations or kick members out if neccessary (owner only).
Share access to chosen events only.
Co-work on the same event data to make the proccess of event creation even easier and quicker. Butbe careful to not overwrite each other’s work!
Examples of use:
As an event agency may create separate workspaces for different internal teams.
If you host an event series, create a specialized workspace and invite all stakeholders as collaborators.
Periodically create a new workspace to get a “clean sheet” and reduce noise in your process.

What's new? đ
Participants' Categories
Participants’ categories allow you to add tags to your attendees and therefore make them stand out in terms of their roles. It also helps the participants to filter big amount of attendees and find people of interest more quickly, by using search bar.  Tags assigned by the organizer will automatically be transmitted to the participant’s networking profile. Tag colors are synchronized across the event for registrations with the same tag text.
For more specific instructions on participants’ tags feel free to visit our Wiki â here â.
Editing Registrations
As an organizer, situations may arise where there is a need to change registrations. Editing can be done in both- one-by-one or in bulk. Bulk import .xlsx template is updated to include âTagsâ column with instructions. Nevertheless, it should be kept in mind that editing can only be done if the attendee has not yet checked into the event.
To read more about editing registrations, pay a visit to our Wiki â here â.
Name Tag QR-code Scan Tracker
When the QR code on the name tag is scanned, each scan is recorded. This gives the organizer an opportunity to monitor statistics. Name tag statistics can be seen by downloading the “Detailed interactivity and pageview metrics” report, which now also contains the “Name tag QR-codes” report. To dive in deeper in this new feature, take a look at our Wiki â article â on the same topic.
Updates â¨
Much improved instructions text under â?â buttons as well as near the create/edit/import forms.
When registering a ticket code through admin form or bulk import, we now enforce the presence of email, otherwise import process ignores the row.
New design and UX concept for registrations and networking profiles tables for easier editing.
For better overview of the data, networking participants table now also only shows columns which actually include data (similarly to the registrations table).
Add missing fields (picture, LinkedIn, countryâŚ) to admin views and exports.
Sort parallel session tracks by starting time or id if starting time is the same.
Do you miss chatting with your colleagues at the coffee corner at events? Now you can do the same virtually in group chat. Ping a message to your event buddy or create a group chat with your team during the event.
How to use it?
This feature is great for networking, group tasks and activities, meetings (both chat and video)
Among chatting you can:
Invite people to join the chat or even kick them out if needed.
Edit, delete messages.
See who is online.
Send files.
Go straight to video meeting.
Other updates and new features: Announcements
What is it?
Sometimes you just need a good old pop-up to give the most important information.
How to use it?
Why not give announcements during your event about changes in the agenda, important practicalities and reminders to give feedback.
Possible to send messages only to those who are visiting the event in real time. Meaning that those who watch the recording will not have the messages.
Edit messages if needed.
Add as a pop-up or directly into the announcement feed.
New expo area
What is it?
Our expo area was getting tired so we decided to give it a facelift.
How to use it?
The fancy new look allows you to
Add expo stands into takeaways basket.
Easier navigation in expo stand – presentations and contacts directly available.
Adding hyperlinks in info area – for website, contacts etc.
Presentation thumbnails – get a visual preview of the content.
See how many participants are online in the expo area – check who is visiting your stand and get immediate contact.
Share the expo access to third partners (like in Google Drive) so you can easily delegate the submission of expo stand information to your partners.
If you want to know more about these features đđ
We have been busy here at Worksup HQ to create more custom features to enhance your events. Hereâs an overview of new Worksup features:
HIGHLIGHT FEATURE OF THE MONTH Onboarding module
What is it?
Organizers will now be able to create their own onboarding e-mails and send them out straight from Worksup. This enables you to streamline the communication and check-in process as you do not need a separate mailing program for that.
How to use it?
Onboarding module can be used for inviting your target group to the event, send them updates, inform about opening the platform, sending reminders and an after-event communication for saying thanks and gathering feedback. This works also if a registration gate has not been set up beforehand. Module also contains automated registration confirmations in case a Worksup registration gate has been set up prior.
Organisers can create letters from the scratch or use templates with placeholders. With the help of placeholders, you can add your event name, direct event links, personalize the name, organization etc.

Onboarding options
MATCHMAKING Collecting interests during registration
What is it?
Worksup networking is enhanced by matchmaking where Worksup matches together people with similar interests. While usually this happens after participants have checked in to the platform it is now possible to allow participants to select from predefined interests already in the process of registration.
How to use it?
This functionality is handy when you wish to know more about your audience’s topic preferences or background. Also, when you wish to estimate how popular one or another track or workshop might be. And on top of these, participants can start finding like minded people right after registering to the event.
INTERACTION Quiz
What is it?
Organising games is a great way to activate your audience. In addition to polls, where you collect participant opinions it is possible to organise quizzes with different purposes and outputs.
How to use it?
Lottery wheel enables you to choose a random winner or winners of your quiz. You can spin the wheel among the correctly answered participants and refresh the data as more correct answers are coming up. Or you can spin the wheel and give the chance to all the participants. In both cases it works well to collect leads for event partners or reward your audience for doing something, e.g. filling in the feedback form.
In case you wish to inject some energy to your audience, you can use the podium output instead of the lottery wheel. With this option you can choose the quickest who answer your quiz and give out prizes. The interface is cool too, when the winner is announced, they will be congratulated with confetti showers!

NETWORKING Takeaways
What is it?
You can now collect other participantsâ name, job title and organisation and info about exhibitors to your virtual basket. Just as you would collect business cards and brochures at traditional physical events or expo. After the event, you can send the basket containing all the valuable information to your e-mail.
How to use it?
This is handy for both your audience but also virtual exhibitors. They do not have to make separate notes but will receive all the take-aways into their email for follow up procedures.
Adding take-aways
MODERATING Prevalidation of Questions
What is it?
Organizers can now prevalidate questions in the Q&A sessions. Questions presented by the audience only appear in the app if an organizer has validated them.
How to use it?
This option is handy if you have a larger and uncontrolled audience e.g. at a public event. It can also be considered if your event operates in a cultural context where certain topics are tabus.
ANALYTICS Entry and Exit reports
What is it?
You can now generate and download a special entry and exit report for your event. So you will know exactly if John Smith was late to join the event and if he left early for lunch.
How to use it?
By analysing the attendee participation data and learning about their ins and outs you can improve your future events.
ANALYTICS Check-In reports
What is it?
Organizers can have an overview of all the check-ins to the event. This will generate a Google sheet with the check-in data of the attendees.
How to use it?
This is great to keep an eye on all the participants, whether they have joined the event or not. You can also use this to track how many of them have created their profile and at what point have they done the check-in.
Where to find reports and check-ins
We will keep you posted with new Worksup features periodically!

Creating a virtual exhibition for your event has never been easier. In this article, you’ll learn about the prerequisites – and all of the new possibilities that come with the virtual expo feature. Â
A turning point for expos
Business expositions have always been a valuable part of large events. Attendees and investors come to expos to find a potential partner or learn about a new disruptive product. For companies, the expo is a chance to promote one’s brand and acquire new customers. It is the ultimate space where professionals establish new business relations and close deals. When the pandemic situation began to gain momentum, most of the event industry companies were not ready to support the same level events in an online format. A big part of them is still struggling with doing so. It opened up a question of how to help event organizers transmit the same event structure, experience, and atmosphere into online. We are glad to announce that from now on, every event organizer can include a virtual expo area to any event.Â
Expositors
Â
Â
What possibilities does the expo feature provide?Â
From now on, event organizers can provide a richer online events experience for attendees. âEnteringâ the exposition area, users can review different companies taking part in the expo and a brief introduction of what they do. Opening up any of them, users will instantly see 3 blocks of information:
– About
– Presentation
– Contacts
In âAboutâ section attendees can learn more about what does the company do, and get to know what theyâre offering during the event. In this unit, companies could also announce some important news or information about brand-new products they released or plan to. Above the description, thereâs an area with the company cover photo which could also include slogan and/or logo.
About section
In the âPresentationâ part, one can attach an inspirational video about the company to give participants a better feeling of what the company is about. Expositors can also attach a leaflet with the main proposition outlined. Companies often liked to provide brochures during traditional events, now anyone can access it virtually too.Â
And last, the Contacts section. Like during any offline event, there is always a person responsible for consulting and answering questions about their product. In an online format, it is important to have such representative as well. Therefore, expositors can include contacts of one or several employees responsible for advising event attendees, so anyone could easily get in touch by dropping a message or even making a video call. The contacts area also includes the company website, email, and phone. It makes it very easy to get in touch with a company in a way convenient for a participant.Â
Contact section
How can organizers get an online expo area?Â
To enable expo for your event, please contact customer support as currently, it’s available as an extra feature.
To sum up, the new expo attribute allows exhibitors to:
– Present their description, logo, and propositionÂ
– Show up recent news about product or fresh release
– Generate qualified leads through online interaction with participantsÂ
– Provide sounded video about the company, product or service
– Attach leaflet or any other material about an expositorsÂ
– Share company contacts: website, email, phoneÂ
– Let attendees instantly contact a representative and chat or video call to learn more
At Worksup, we hope youâll enjoy and productively use the new opportunity to the fullest. Weâre sure, that the expo feature can help you to organize more successful events and enrich the experience of every stakeholder.Â
