Team Groups can now control event access as well as organise your team. From Team → Manage Groups & Access, give a group access to every event or to events carrying any of your selected tags, then choose the permissions its members should inherit.
When another event is created or given a matching tag, the group receives access automatically. Individual permissions can still add access for a specific person, while event exclusions take precedence when someone should not see a particular event.
This makes it much easier to manage teams responsible for a client, department, brand, or recurring event programme without updating every team member one event at a time.

You can now connect Flodesk to HeySummit and send registered attendees directly to a Flodesk segment.
Go to Event Setup → Integrations, choose Flodesk, connect your account, and select the segment you want to use. You can also map custom registration answers and other attendee details to your Flodesk custom fields.
Once connected, HeySummit keeps attendee details synced with Flodesk, ready for your email campaigns and workflows.

HeySummit can now send a Schedule Updated email when an attendee adds future sessions that were not covered by their original schedule email.
Organisers can preview, edit, publish, or unpublish the message from Emails. It respects each attendee’s conference-information consent; existing events receive the template unpublished, while new events have it enabled by default.
The notification covers sessions added through attendee self-service, direct talk registration, the HeySummit API, or MCP.

Talk submitters can now add an optional mobile number alongside their contact details.
The number is available to event organisers while reviewing submissions and remains available in the speaker’s organiser-only details after approval.
It is kept separate from the public phone number and is never shown on public event pages.

ZenStream is now available as a built-in live stream source in HeySummit.
When setting up a live broadcast for a talk or stage, choose ZenStream and paste either your ZenStream player URL or stream ID. HeySummit will display the stream directly on the broadcast page, without requiring custom embed code.
This lets you use ZenStream for video delivery while keeping the rest of your event experience, including HeySummit chat, Q&A, and polls, in one place.

Sponsor Grid blocks in Page Builder can now be limited to specific event categories or custom sponsor categories.
In a Sponsor Grid’s settings, choose “Sponsors in selected categories”, then select one or more Event Categories or Sponsor Categories. Sponsors matching any selected category will appear, while the existing exclusion controls can still hide broader sponsor types.
Existing Sponsor Grid blocks continue showing all eligible sponsors until you choose category filtering.

API and MCP access is now available on every active paid HeySummit plan, including Starter and Growth.
That means more teams can connect their own tools through the HeySummit API, or connect compatible AI assistants through MCP to inspect events, spot setup gaps, and preview supported event changes before approving them.
You can find your API token and MCP server details under Setup > API, MCP & Webhooks. The MCP connection guide covers supported clients, permissions, example prompts, and current limits.

Zoom meetings and webinars can now play directly on your HeySummit talk pages, so attendees can join without leaving your event.
When setting up a talk with Zoom Meeting or Zoom Webinar, choose Embed in HeySummit under how attendees should join. You can still choose Open externally whenever you prefer attendees to join through Zoom.
HeySummit continues to register attendees with Zoom behind the scenes, giving each attendee the correct access while keeping the live experience on your event page.
July 21st, 2026
You can now inspect and update your event pages through the HeySummit MCP, using the same Page Builder capabilities available in the dashboard.
Connected tools can list editable pages, inspect page content and layout, see available blocks and settings, and preview changes before applying them. Supported updates include adding, editing, moving and copying blocks, changing page settings, deleting blocks, resetting inherited pages and duplicating pages.
Every change stays scoped to the selected event and uses preview and confirmation safeguards. Image uploads, copying blocks between events and staff-only global template controls remain in the HeySummit dashboard.

Custom email sender setup now includes a clear four-step guide covering sender details, email verification, domain authentication, and getting ready to send.
HeySummit shows the exact DNS records needed for DKIM, an SPF-aligned MAIL FROM domain, and DMARC, with copyable values and status checks directly in the dashboard.
Open Manage Senders from the Emails page to update a sender, review its progress, resend or confirm verification, and see what still needs attention before using it for event emails.
