June AirWaves 2025 – Key Takeaways 

Our June AirWaves webinar was packed with exciting updates – from Smart Connector expansions and accessibility advancements to new learning tools and product improvements. 

If you missed it, here’s everything you need to know. 

Company Update – Chris Ridd, CEO 

Continuing our global industry engagement 

EventsAir has had a strong few months on the global event circuit, recently attending: 

• MEETINGS 2025 in Auckland, NZ – reaffirming our ongoing commitment as technology partner in the New Zealand market. 

• IMEX Frankfurt 2025 – where the team reconnected with our European customers and explored trending topics like AI, ESG, and experience-led design. 

• ASAE MMC + Tech Conference in Washington DC and MPI World Education Congress in St. Louis – helping support the association space in the U.S. market. 

Each event reinforced the shifting priorities of the event planning world – smarter technology, richer attendee experiences, and a growing emphasis on accessibility and sustainability. 

Registration for Airtime 2025 is live!  

Registration is well underway for AirTime 2025! For the first time, the event will span multiple U.S. cities, mark a return to Europe in Brussels, and expand into Melbourne – a major milestone for our team in Australia. 

These events will offer even more opportunities for connection, product feedback, and showcase what’s ahead for EventsAir. 

Smart Connectors – Jase Hopkins 

The Smart Connectors ecosystem continues to expand, making it easier than ever to connect EventsAir with your broader event tech stack. 

Newly released Connectors include: 

• Aptify 

• HubSpot (Custom Objects) 

• Monday.com (CRM only) 

• Microsoft Dynamics (Custom Objects) 

• FileMaker Pro 

We’ve also introduced Attendee Verification, a powerful new capability that allows you to authenticate users and pre-populate their registration details. Available now for Salesforce, Attendee Verification will soon roll out to all major Smart Connector partners, including HubSpot, Dynamics, and Aptify.  

This enhancement delivers a smoother registration experience and ensures more accurate, up-to-date data across your systems. 

Product Roadmap – Renee Elliott 

Launching EventsAir Academy 

A brand-new learning experience is on its way. On July 7, we’ll officially launch EventsAir Academy, a modern, flexible learning platform designed to replace Fast Track. 

EventsAir Academy will feature: 

• A more interactive and visually rich learning experience 

• Flexible pathways tailored to your skill level 

• Seamless alignment with the latest EventsAir interface 

• A refreshed certification program 

Stage 2A, 2B, and OnAir content will still be available as we continue building out intermediate and advanced modules. 

What’s coming next 

We’re actively developing new features and enhancements designed to streamline your workflow and elevate the attendee experience. 

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming: 

• A redesigned event website builder with dynamic, modern components 

• Abandoned cart functionality for capturing lost registrations 

• Improved import tools for agenda items and attendee data 

• Custom dashboard widgets and export tools 

• A refreshed attendee app with an updated theme and layout 

You’ll hear more about these updates – and have a chance to shape their development – at Airtime 2025. 

Accessibility Update – Warren Prasek 

Accessibility is a critical area of focus for EventsAir, and we’ve made substantial progress uplifting the attendee-facing experience to meet global standards, including the upcoming European Accessibility Act. 

Phase one of our accessibility uplift includes: 

• Keyboard navigation support, including tab order, focus visibility, and the removal of keyboard traps 

• Labeling of non-text content like buttons and controls to enhance screen reader compatibility 

• Enhanced screen reader support, driven by semantic HTML and ARIA tags 

These improvements roll out in June and target the most frequently used attendee screens. Work will continue through August, with future phases expanding support across interactive sites and other key areas of the platform.

That’s a wrap – see you next AirWaves! 

From product quality and platform accessibility to smarter integrations and more engaging learning tools, the June edition of AirWaves highlighted just how much momentum we’re building in 2025. 

We’re committed to helping you create better, more inclusive events with the tools and support you need to succeed.
