Why This Release Matters for Event Organizers

This release of Virtual Venue is built around three major gains:

Performance: Faster, Smoother, Always Up to Date

Maps, lists, and tables now load more than 10x faster, giving teams instant access to critical data. Thanks to a redesigned software architecture, information is always up to date with no cache or sync issues. Whether you’re working on a global tournament or a local activation, speed and reliability ensure your workflows never stall.

Precision: From Digital Plans to Real-World Accuracy

True-to-scale object insertion ensures that digital plans perfectly match real-world dimensions. Combined with advanced measurement tools, including the new Travel Time, Flow rate, Capacity and Count, organizers can model scenarios with a level of accuracy never before possible in event planning software.

Collaboration: Clearer Communication, Seamless Workflows

Event planning is a team sport and this release removes friction at every step. Map-based comments keep feedback anchored to exact locations, while Unified Global Search helps anyone instantly find what they need, from objects and layers to comments and points of interest. With enhanced printing and live previews, teams can share consistent, reliable outputs across all stakeholders.

Collaboration has always been at the core of Virtual Venue and is one of the biggest factors that sets us apart from competitors. By bringing every stakeholder into the same virtual space, we ensure decisions are faster, clearer and more aligned.
