Changelog

We’ve introduced a new setting to improve how square sponsor logos are displayed. Previously, square logos could look undersized compared to horizontal ones due to the layout’s emphasis on width. With this update, you can now ensure all sponsor logos appear with balanced visual prominence, regardless of their shape.

What’s New

• A new “Logo Shape” dropdown in sponsor settings (Manage > Sponsors > Edit > Media tab) allows you to select between “Wide” (default) and “Square” logo shapes.

This gives you better control over how logos are presented in grids, especially when showcasing a mix of brand styles.

Note that to further help sponsor logos stand out, all logos sizes (whether wide or square) have been enlarged. If you need to make the logos smaller, you can do so via the theme settings.

You can now customise the colours of your H1, H2, and H3 headings directly within the Theme Editor, giving you more control over your event’s branding and visual hierarchy.

What’s New

• New options in the Theme Editor under Defaults > Colours > Header Colours to set custom colours for H1, H2, and H3 headings.

This update makes it easier to align your site’s typography with your brand’s style.

To help maintain a cohesive look across your event pages, we’ve introduced a new Page Header component in the page builder. This lets you apply the same clean, structured header style used on standard HeySummit pages (like Schedule and Replays) to your own custom pages - ensuring visual consistency across your entire event experience.

What’s New

• Added ‘Page Header’ component to the page builder for custom pages.

This new component is ideal for secondary or supporting pages. For your main landing page, we still recommend using the existing Hero Header, which is designed for high-impact visuals and key event info like dates and calls to action.

You can now include answers to custom registration questions when creating attendees via the API. This improvement streamlines attendee imports, allowing you to send complete registration data (including question responses) in a single call. Ideal for syncing data from external forms or CRMs directly into HeySummit.

What’s New

• Support for passing question_id and answer pairs via a new questions array when creating attendees through the API.

To locate the question_id, go to Event Settings > Registration Questions and click the # button next to the relevant question.

You can now include Substack profiles as part of your speakers’ and sponsors’ social links. This update expands the range of supported platforms, making it easier to showcase all relevant online presences directly within your event pages.

What’s New

• Added Substack as an available social link option for both speakers and sponsors

This enhancement gives you more flexibility in highlighting thought leadership and newsletter content associated with your event participants.

We’ve enhanced the Events API to provide more contextual data, making it easier for you to sync and display richer event information across your integrations. This update adds useful metadata that helps you better organise, categorise, and present events programmatically.

What’s New

• The Events API payload now includes:

  • description

  • feature_image

  • categories

  • custom tags

  • status (automatically derived from the event schedule: planning, running, or finished)

This improvement gives developers and integration partners more flexibility when working with event data.

Organisers now have the ability to re-generate a winner for any giveaway directly from the Reports > Giveaway Winners page. This allows for a new random winner to be selected using the original giveaway criteria - ideal for cases where a winner was awarded in error or a redraw is needed.

What’s New

• Ability to re-generate a giveaway winner, replacing the current one with a newly selected random winner based on existing settings.

A helpful fallback for those rare situations where a redraw is necessary.

Managing evergreen settings across several talks just got easier. You can now configure auto-repeat rules for multiple talks at once using the bulk actions dropdown in your event dashboard - saving time and reducing repetitive work.

What’s New

• Added an “Apply Evergreen Settings” option to the bulk actions dropdown on the Talks list, allowing you to apply auto-repeat settings to multiple talks simultaneously.

This update streamlines setup for recurring content, especially useful when managing events with many pre-recorded or evergreen sessions.
