Find the Next Upcoming Session and Refresh Event Days in the Dryfta App

Conference days move quickly. Attendees opening an event app need to see what comes next, while organisers need schedule changes to reach people who already saved the programme. Dryfta now brings these needs together with automatic positioning at the next upcoming session during an ongoing event and a refresh that discovers updated event days.

The schedule keeps the upcoming session card and its time heading visible below the fixed controls. Attendees can still choose another day, browse sessions and use My Schedule. This guide explains the updated experience, practical ways to use it, and the event information it depends on.

Share Selected Profile Fields Across Your Organization’s Dryfta Events

Participants return to several events run by the same organization. When their name or telephone number changes, updating each event separately creates repeated work and inconsistent profiles. Dryfta now lets organizers decide which profile fields should stay shared across their organization’s connected events, while keeping other answers specific to each event.

With selected fields connected, a saved profile change can travel to the participant’s linked accounts in the background. The existing My Events area also provides a route into connected events after account ownership has been established. This guide explains the setup, the participant experience, and the boundaries to check.

New Badge Starters in Dryfta: Summit and A4 Four-Fold Layouts

Preparing name badges involves more than placing a logo beside a participant’s name. Conference teams need readable names, space for roles, a usable QR code, and a layout that suits their chosen paper. Starting from an appropriate design makes those decisions easier to review before printing begins.

Dryfta’s Badge Builder now provides Summit as the starting layout for eligible standard badge sizes and an A4 four-fold starter for A4. Both starters remain fully editable drafts until you save. Existing customized designs are preserved, giving organizers a practical starting point without automatically replacing badges they have already prepared for their event.

Export a Complete Panel Proposal as One PDF in Dryfta

A panel proposal contains an introduction followed by several linked presentations. Exporting those records separately can leave the organizer or submitter assembling files by hand and checking whether the introduction and contributions are still in the right order.

Dryfta’s combined panel PDF keeps the saved introduction and the contributions a viewer is authorized to access together in one document. The panel structure determines the order, with each record beginning on a new page. This makes the export easier to follow as a proposal. Here is what the document includes, who can generate it, and what to check before sharing it.

Choose Where Company Banners Appear Across Your Dryfta Website and App

Sponsor and exhibitor visibility is more useful when it appears in the places your audience visits. Dryfta’s category banner placements let organizers choose where eligible company banners appear across the event website and app, instead of treating every page as the same advertising space.

The controls offer choices for destinations such as the homepage, people lists, sponsor and exhibitor lists, documents and sessions. Each placement can be disabled, limited to the website, limited to the app, or used on both. Here is how to plan those choices, connect banners with company information, and check the experience before promoting the event.

Publish Dryfta Homepage Widgets Independently on Your Website and App

Your conference website and event app often serve different moments in an attendee’s journey. A website helps visitors discover the event, while the app supports people preparing to attend and taking part. Dryfta now lets organizers choose homepage widget publication separately for each platform.

Use Website Designer to decide what appears on the website, and Event App Publisher to choose the app’s widgets. You can keep a supported widget off the website while including it in the app, or do the reverse. Shared content remains shared. Here is how the independent controls work and how to plan a clear experience.

Manage Session Proposal Limits and Moderator Enrollment in Dryfta

Building a seminar program means knowing more than how many sessions exist. Organizers and moderators need to see how many proposals belong to each session, whether the session has reached its minimum, and how much room remains before its maximum.

Dryfta brings those details into session proposal management through configured limits, the Seminar Enrollment view for moderators, and additional Program Builder columns and filters. The result is a clearer way to review developing sessions without maintaining a parallel spreadsheet. This guide explains the counts, the distinction between authors and proposals, and how to prepare the views your organizing team needs.

Find Exhibitors and Event Locations with Dryfta’s App Floor Plan

Finding an exhibitor should not require switching between a printed map, a company list and a separate set of booth numbers. Dryfta connects the published event floor plan with exhibitor information, giving visitors a route from a company they want to meet to its location.

The event app provides a Floor Plan destination under More when Exhibitors is enabled. Visitors can explore the map, select a booth and open the associated exhibitor profile. Company details can also offer a route back to an assigned booth. Here is how those connections work and what organizers should prepare before sharing the map.

ICFP 2025: From 5,585 Submissions to Personal Conference Schedules

ICFP 2025 customer story: submissions, registration and personal conference schedules connected in Dryfta

At ICFP 2025 in Bogotá, researchers, policymakers and advocates needed a practical way to share research and plan a busy conference. Dryfta connected the event’s submissions, registration records and public program in one platform. The backend reviewed for this case study shows 5,585 submissions, 3,579 registrations and 36,110 additions to personal schedules. These figures describe different parts of the event workflow, rather than a single attendance total. This case study follows that connected workflow, from organizing submitted research to helping delegates choose sessions, and explains what other conference teams can learn from the actual platform views and records available today.

Draw Signatures in Dryfta Mobile Forms on iPhone and Android

Some event forms need a signature as well as a typed answer. Attendees can now draw that signature directly in supported Dryfta app forms on iPhone and Android, keeping the task within the event experience they are using.

The signature field provides a drawing area with Undo and Clear controls. It works with the event’s form configuration and saves through the normal form workflow. This addition supports account creation, general forms and surveys, including session survey routes. Here is how to prepare a useful signature field, guide attendees through it, and understand the limits before adding one to your event.

Daily Three in Dryfta: Polls, Session Feedback and New Connections

Conference apps work best when attendees have a clear reason to return throughout the day. Daily Three gives participants three focused invitations: answer a poll, share session feedback and make one new connection. Eligible actions contribute points and collectible badges, helping people see their progress.

For organizers, the feature offers a simple way to introduce participation without creating an overwhelming checklist. Attendees can open the event homepage, follow the available missions and review their rewards under My Points. Availability depends on the event’s settings and eligible activities. Here is how to explain the experience and prepare your event for it.

IMNHC 2026: Managing Submissions, Registration and a 151-Session Program with Dryfta

IMNHC 2026 customer story: submissions, registration and a 151-session program connected in Dryfta

IMNHC 2026 brought the maternal and newborn health community together in Nairobi, Kenya, from 23 to 26 March. Behind its busy program, the organizing team used Dryfta to manage submissions, registrations and session activity in one shared event workspace. The event backend records 1,765 submitted proposals, 1,827 registrations and 151 sessions. It also records 15,499 session saves and 9,983 session check-ins, showing how delegates used the program throughout the conference. This case study looks at that workflow, the tools visible in the event platform, and what other conference teams can learn from bringing these everyday tasks together in one place.
