Talk/Speakers giveaways turnaround time

We’ve been using HeySummit for our annual online conference for 6 years, and one pain point that hasn’t changed is this: Having the talk/speaker giveaways not announced for 24 hours drains the energy from that initiative. It’s anticlimactic to have winner announcements just pop up in email a full day after the talk. This year we were excited to see that we could have all the winners revealed at a date and time of our choosing, so we chose to have them revealed right at the beginning of our closing session/party. Yet there weren’t — they still just rolled out 24 hours after each talk, with attendees and speakers still getting emails, and leaving us with only a partial list of winners to announce at the time that we had told the conference that we would be announcing the list. To that end, a few suggestions: Please, please, please work on a way for winners to be chosen faster. The ideal would be to announce it right at the end, before releasing the audience, so it can be celebrated live. Please review what’s going on with the setting that allows us to choose a date and time for the announcement, because it didn’t appear to change how that was handled on the back end. While you work on a faster notification, please adjust the language of that setting to make it clear that changing the date of announcements won’t expedite the turnaround time.

Design a fix for square sponsor logos looking small

When using the Sponsors component, horizontal logos look good, but square logos look tiny. The reason appears to be that the logo containers are horizontal, so any graphic that is not horizontal get minimized. On the flip side, any horizontal logo that happens to have the same proportions of the container end up looking giant. Ideally, all the logo would have the same visual weight. I’m not sure what the ideal fix it, but it would be great if something can be done about it. 1) Make the containers square? This might be better, but would probably be a half measure, because then square graphics would look bigger than others. 2) Perhaps a setting in each logo to tell HeySummit whether a logo is horizontal, vertical or square, so that the display size can be automatically optimized? 3) A setting (probably in the Manage Sponsor settings) for a relative size (smaller, small, medium, big, bigger — kind of like relative font sizes in HTML)? Then the event developer can eyeball what looks best? (This could also help event organizers who want to make logo sizes different based on sponsorship tier.)

consolidated feedback from our developer when optimising or editing events

Limited Layout Customization ( "Templates are fairly rigid; while you can add logos, colors, and some branding, you don’t get full design freedom.") Generic Look & Feel ("Out-of-the-box pages tend to look like other HeySummit events. This reduces the ability to create a truly unique branded experience, which is often critical for high-profile events.") Poor Granular Styling Controls ( " You can adjust basic colors, fonts, and backgrounds, but not fine-tuned CSS-level changes unless you hack workarounds.") Limited Media & Content Placement Options (" You can’t always place images, videos, or sponsor logos exactly where you want. This creates challenges for creating compelling landing/schedule pages.") Lack of Custom Code Injection ("minimal ability to inject custom JavaScript, CSS, or HTML into event pages. This blocks advanced customizations or unique interactive features.") Rigid Templates (" pre-built templates that auto-adjust, but they’re not fully flexible. We can’t easily tweak breakpoints or create unique responsive behaviors for different screen sizes.") Limited Mobile Customization("You can’t design mobile layouts separately. The system auto-scales desktop designs, which often leads to spacing issues, oversized buttons, or squished layouts on smaller screens.") No Custom CSS for Breakpoints("We can not inject custom CSS to define media queries. This blocks fine-tuning of how the design responds to tablets vs. phones vs. widescreen monitors.") Image Cropping/Scaling Issues("Images can't be resized in ratio") Backend Updating Issue ("While working live on the backend, the live version is not updated simultaneously, which causes confusion and overwork.") Backend is really slow ("We have to encounter a lot of slow editing in the backend. ")
