You can now add an Attendee Map to any event page from the PageBuilder Components tab, giving attendees a visual view of where your event community is joining from.
Anonymous mode is enabled by default. It displays location markers without names or attendee totals, and groups smaller city results at region or country level to protect attendee privacy.
You can also switch the component to named mode. Attendee names will only appear when those attendees have explicitly opted in from their profile.
When the component is added, HeySummit prepares the available location data for that event in the background and keeps new attendee locations up to date.

Speaker and talk CSV exports now include the details you need to work with each record outside HeySummit.
When you export Speakers, the file now includes each speaker’s linked talk titles. When you export Talks, the file includes speaker names and email addresses, so you can prepare promotional materials or contact speakers without merging two spreadsheets.

You can now organise account team members into optional groups, making larger teams easier to scan by client, company, department, or any structure that fits your workflow.
Open Team Members and choose Manage Groups to create or rename groups and assign several people at once. You can also select or create a group while adding or editing an individual team member.
Groups only organise the team list. They do not change anyone's permissions or access to events.

You can now connect your ThriveCart account directly from Setup → Integrations, then choose products, bump offers, upsells, or downsells by name and map them to HeySummit tickets.
When a customer buys a mapped offer, HeySummit creates the attendee and grants the correct ticket automatically—without manually configuring webhook URLs, secret words, or copying external product IDs.
The existing manual webhook setup remains available for events already using it.

HeySummit's first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is now live, giving compatible AI assistants a secure way to understand and help manage your events.
Once connected, an assistant can inspect event setup, talks, speakers, categories, tickets, sponsors, attendees and coupons. It can also draft setup plans and preview supported changes to event details, schedules, people and coupons before you approve them.
Write actions are preview-first: HeySummit does not save a change until the assistant makes a separate confirmed request. Delete actions need additional permission and explicit confirmation.
The first release is available to customers with API access. Setup varies by AI client, and some OAuth clients currently need assisted setup. Read the connection guide, example prompts and current limits.

Direct checkout links can now do more than preselect a ticket. When you generate a link from Revenue > Tickets, you can optionally choose an eligible talk to include with the checkout link.
That means a host can send someone straight to checkout for the right ticket and have HeySummit add the selected talk to the attendee's schedule after checkout completes.
Normal ticket access and capacity rules still apply, so only talks available for the selected ticket appear in the selector.

You can now add multiple testimonials to an event in one go by uploading a CSV.
Open Promoting > Testimonials, choose Add Testimonial, then select Import testimonials. Map the quote, name, and job title or company columns before starting the import. You can also export testimonials from one event and upload that CSV to another.
If any rows cannot be imported, the import log shows what needs fixing and lets you download the failed rows as a CSV for correction and re-upload.

MailPoet is now available as a CRM & Email integration in HeySummit.
Connect your WordPress site to sync attendee names, email addresses, and selected registration data to a MailPoet list. You can map custom registration fields and optionally apply a MailPoet tag as contacts are synced.
To get started, open your event's Integrations page, select MailPoet, and follow the setup steps to install the HeySummit Connector for MailPoet and connect your WordPress site.

SMS reminders are now available across all HeySummit paid plans. Event hosts can turn them on from Setup > SMS Reminders, and attendees can opt in to receive one SMS reminder before their first selected talk each event day.
Starter and Growth accounts can buy SMS credit as needed, while Success now includes $50 of SMS credit each month. The SMS settings screen and Billing area both show current SMS credit usage, with quick access to manage capacity.
SMS reminders currently support numbers in the UK, US, and Canada.

You can now choose Teyuto as a video source when setting up live streams and replay content in HeySummit.
Paste your Teyuto player URL into the video source field and HeySummit will embed it for attendees, making it easier to use Teyuto alongside the other supported video and live streaming providers.
This is available for organisers who already host live or recorded video content with Teyuto.
