RingCentral Events | May 2024

Stay up to date with the latest features, improvements, and bug fixes for RingCentral Events.

Event creation flow update

Release date: May 8, 2024

  1. Clearer Event Types: We've taken steps to clarify the different event types that can be hosted on RCE, making it easier for you to choose the right format for your needs. You’ll now see all event types side by side when creating a new event. Whether you're hosting a single-track webinar-style event, a multi-track virtual event, or a hybrid/on-site gathering, our platform will scale with you and provide the feature sets that are relevant for each event type. 
  2. Introducing the “Webinar” event type: This event type is aimed for your simpler, quicker to set up, single-track events. With a simplified event dashboard and lighter feature set, the focus is on hosting your content in a single Stage or Session, while keeping all the audience engagement tools that make RingCentral Events unique.
