See what's new in X-CD and what we're gradually rolling out. ✨

With Featured Speakers, you can now curate a dedicated section within the app to showcase your most anticipated voices. Beyond the standard speaker directory, this feature allows for a new custom biography for each highlighted speaker, giving you the flexibility to craft narratives that truly capture their expertise and impact.
This new screen offers two distinct viewing options to cater to diverse attendee preferences:
Admin Configuration: Addition options appear
This feature allows administrators to configure guest badge printing rules for conferences.
A new button has been added to the on-site admin site.
From there admins can find a list of fields and the values that have been marked as a guest registration field. They will also find the fields for Guests name.
As you can have multiple guests (radio option guests: x1, x2, x3, etc). You can build multiple rules.
Think of rule as guest 1 set the trigger value id and the guest name fields.
Example you have purchased 2 guests from the fields Are you bringing guests with options 1 guest, 2 guests, 3 guests. you will need to make 3 rules for this conference. to print the first guests name you will need to select the 3 options x1, x2, x3 as when you buy option 2 and 3 it includes the first guest, but when you buy option 1 it only includes 1. so the trigger to print guest 1 is options 1, 2, and 3.
here is what it would look like:
Rule 1: trigger is options 1, 2, and 3; and name for guest is guest 1
Rule 2: trigger is options 2 and 3; and name for guest is guest 2
Rule 3: trigger is option 3; and name for guest 3
Enable ‘Quick Checkout’ to remove the profile login or creation barrier on a public store checkout
If enabled, the checkout form will ask minimum: First Name, Last Name, Email
Additional contact form fields can be added via Attendee Settings → Profile Fields
If user enters email address that exists in database → the order will be attributed to existing contact account
Any profile field data submitted will also be ignored and that contact profile will remain fully unchanged
If user enters email address that does not exist in database → the order will be attributed to the new contact account that will be created
For security reasons, either way – post checkout – the user is NOT logged in

🗓 Registration Display Until Date
You can now set a “Display Until” date on registration fields to automatically hide items (like pre-courses, workshops, or socials) from the front-end after a specific date.
Note: This does not toggle the field’s “Display” status to “No”—it simply hides it on the front end.
📍How to set it up:
Dashboard → Attendee Module → Settings → Registration Setup → Registration Fields → Edit → Set Date → Update Field

Membership Management in Admin Site:
Membership Imports:
In keeping with the above, you will no longer be able to use the contacts import to import users into contacts groups that are membership groups.
You will instead use the new Membership Import, which requires you to submit a valid email address, a dues category, and a valid expiration.
This Import will indicate if any records could not proceed because of a membership conflict for a given user.
It also has a revert function (beta). When you see the errors at the end of the import, you can decide if it makes sense to manually address a handful of errors, or to just undo the import (within 24 hrs) and retry with an updated import.
Membership Reports:
Company admins will assign discounted tickets as per usual, from the exhibitor module staff registration screen.
Staff given the pending discount will not have any items added or discounted to their invoice until they complete their registration in the staff registration or the regular attendee registration.
Pending discounts will be read-only fields and the discounted item is automatically selected for the staff member, a message is displayed to the user relaying this information.
The discount is applied on the checkout screen in the attendee module or when the registration modal pop-up is submitted or the staff registration screen in the exhibitor module.
Site admins have the ability to apply pending discounts to attendee registrations
Pending discounts will automatically be applied on the attendee overview screen if they have all required fields in their registration. If all conditions are not met, an alert will display that the attendee has a pending discount.
