Trade Show Solutions Releases for July 7, 2026

Reminder: The Jifflenow release dates will have slightly different launch dates from the Cvent cadence in the near future, as we continue to align product release development work. This week's post features four Jifflenow releases.

Jifflenow

Persistent Column Selection on all List Pages

Expected Release Date: June 26, 2026

Your list views now remember your column setup—so you can pick up where you left off, every time.

What’s Changed:

• Jifflenow now saves each user’s column visibility and column order automatically.

• Saved views are personal to each user and work across key list pages.

• No setup needed. Set your view once, and it stays that way.

Benefit:

This release cuts out a small but repetitive task that adds up over time. Instead of reselecting and reordering columns every time they leave and return to a list page, users can jump back into work with their preferred layout already in place.

The result is a faster, more consistent experience across the day—and a more personalized workflow with no extra effort required.

Mobile - Managing Staff Activities on the Go

Expected Release Date: June 29, 2026

Manage staff activities from the event floor—no laptop required.

What’s Changed:

• Internal Attendees can now view all activities assigned to them directly in the Jifflenow Mobile App.

• Users can tap into an activity to see key details, including time, location, description, and associated participants.

• Staff can accept or decline activity assignments from their mobile device, making it easier to respond in the moment.

• Meeting Managers can check in participants to activities on the spot during live events.

• The mobile experience includes the same staff activity filters available in the web view for a more consistent experience across platforms.

Benefit:

With staff activity management in the mobile app, teams can manage meetings and activities from one place while staying on the event floor. That means faster responses, smoother check-ins, and fewer delays during live events. It also helps teams stay coordinated in real time without needing to step away or log into the web platform for quick actions.

Improved Manual PII Deletion for External Attendees

Expected Release Date: July 1, 2026

Safer attendee PII deletion that protects active event data and gives teams more control over compliance timing.

What’s Changed:

• Meeting Managers can now set an inactivity window before deleting external attendee PII.

• The default is 90 days, and it can be adjusted from 30 to 730 days.

• Jifflenow checks recent and upcoming attendee activity before allowing deletion.

• Attendees who don’t qualify are skipped automatically.

• After each deletion run, the initiator gets an email summary of deleted and skipped records.

Benefit:

This update helps teams clean up personal data with more confidence—without risking the reports and analytics they still need after an event.

By adding a configurable inactivity safeguard, Jifflenow reduces the chance of deleting attendee data too soon, while making it easier to align deletion workflows with internal retention policies and audit needs.

Configurable Session Timeout

Expected Release Date: July 1, 2026

Set Jifflenow web session timeouts your way—so security settings match your policy, without waiting on support.

What’s Changed:

• Meeting Managers with “Can manage settings” can now update web session timeout settings directly in company settings.

• Timeout durations are configurable from 15 minutes to 2 hours.

• Teams can choose preset options of 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, or 120 minutes, or enter a custom duration to fit their policy requirements.

• The default timeout remains 60 minutes, so current behavior stays the same unless a customer decides to change it.

• This update applies to the Jifflenow web platform only; mobile and SFDC sessions continue to use their own timeout behavior.

Benefit:

This release puts more control in your hands by making session timeout settings self-serve for eligible Meeting Managers. That means teams can align Jifflenow with internal security standards faster, without submitting a support ticket. With flexibility from 15 to 120 minutes, customers can choose the balance of security and convenience that works best for them.

Mapping Enhancements - Smarter Topic Routing & Visibility

Expected Release Date: July 1, 2026

Smarter Mapping now routes the right topic, SME, and room automatically—while giving teams faster visibility and fewer manual steps.

What’s Changed:

• Requestors can now select topics at multiple levels (Category, Sub-category, Sub-sub-category) when booking Mapping meetings. The system uses AND logic across all selected levels to automatically route requests to the right SME and room — reducing manual work for Meeting Managers.

• The Inbound Request Page applies the same multi-level filtering, showing attendees only the SME slots that match their selected topic.

• A new Internal Attendee column shows the assigned SME per row in the Mappings list, and a new Room Name filter lets users quickly narrow results by room.

• New Mappings are now auto-approved upon creation (bulk upload or manual), and the Pending state has been removed.

Benefit:

This update makes complex event scheduling easier to manage. Teams can spend less time checking assignments by hand, move faster when bookings come in, and feel more confident that each appointment is matched to the right expert and room.

iCapture

Predictive Email Suggestions

Expected Release Date: July 7, 2026

Capture more complete leads with AI-suggested work emails—fast, compliant, and always confirmed before saving.

What’s Changed:

• A new, optional feature that proposes a likely business email address based on a contact’s name and company.

• It’s built for booth staff who know who they spoke with but don’t have a confirmed email from a badge or business card.

• Suggested emails are clearly labeled as AI-generated and must be reviewed and confirmed by a user before they’re saved.

• The feature is designed to support lead completeness, data quality, and compliance with GDPR/CCPA and your own consent standards.

Benefit:

When a contact’s email isn’t readily available, teams can still capture a likely work email instead of leaving the field blank. That helps reduce missed follow-up opportunities and gives sales more complete lead data to work from. Just as importantly, human confirmation stays in the loop, helping protect accuracy and consent at the point of capture.

Firmographic Enrichment

Expected Release Date: July 7, 2026

Automatically enrich every captured lead with company insights for faster follow-up, smarter routing, and more relevant outreach.

What’s Changed:

• iCapture now automatically adds firmographic data to every lead at capture, including revenue range, company size, industry, company domain, and LinkedIn URL.

• With richer company context from the start, sales and marketing teams can qualify leads faster, route leads more accurately, and tailor follow-up with more confidence.

• Because enrichment happens behind the scenes, booth staff can stay focused on conversations instead of extra data collection.

Benefit:

Firmographic Enrichment helps turn every captured lead into a more complete, actionable record automatically. With company details added at capture, teams can qualify leads faster, route them to the right reps more easily, and tailor outreach based on account profile and industry. It also supports cleaner data and better matching to existing CRM and MAP records through company domain enrichment.

Post-Event Meeting Booking with Calendly and HubSpot

Expected Release Date: July 7, 2026

Schedule follow-up meetings the moment a lead is captured — directly from the app, using the scheduling tools your team already uses.

What’s Changed:

• After capturing a lead, booth staff can tap "Schedule Meeting" from the web or mobile app to immediately kick off the scheduling flow.

• iCapture plugs into the customer's existing Calendly event types or HubSpot meeting links — all availability rules, routing logic, and calendar integrations stay managed in those tools.

• Supports 1:1, round-robin, and multi-host meeting types, honoring the scheduling provider's routing model.

• The scheduler opens as an embedded widget (or webview on mobile) so reps stay inside iCapture while the conversation is still happening.

• iCapture passes the captured contact's name, email, and company into the scheduling provider and ties the resulting meeting back to the original lead record.

• If onsite Wi-Fi is unreliable, staff can capture the lead and return to complete the scheduling flow later — no speed-to-lead lost.

Benefit:

Post-Event Meeting Booking turns booth leads into booked meetings — fast. Marketers can prove event ROI beyond lead capture, while sales and SDR teams get qualified meetings routed to the right rep as soon as the show ends. And because it works through Calendly or HubSpot, adoption is easy with routing, invites, and CRM logging already in place.
