JANUARY 2026 RELEASES
What’s New

 

January was all about giving teams more control, better visibility, and fewer manual steps when running events at scale.

This release includes major upgrades to event setup, invites, reporting, and on-site workflows — plus a long list of fixes that make everything feel faster and more reliable. If you’re running multiple events, juggling stakeholders, or trying to understand what’s actually working, these updates are built to make that easier.

 

Event Communications Manager

We’ve added an Event Communications step into the Event Builder so communications are no longer something you bolt on at the end.

You can now set up and manage pre-event, during-event, and post-event emails in one place, right alongside the rest of your event setup.

From there, you can:

  • Choose from customizable email templates
  • Schedule emails for specific times or moments
  • Use AI-generated subject lines and content to get started faster

The result: cleaner workflows, fewer last-minute scrambles, and event communications that stay aligned with the full event lifecycle.

 

Walk-Up Registration Enhancements

On-site registration just got more flexible. You can now customize walk-up registration forms with required fields and property mapping — without relying on HubSpot forms. When someone registers via walk-up:

  • They’re automatically marked as attended
  • Relevant properties sync to both the registrant and contact records

This also works at the session level, making check-ins and on-site data capture smoother no matter how your event is structured.

 

Invite Manager

Invites now have a dedicated home. Invite Manager makes it easy to create, manage, and track invitation lists and emails for each event — all in one place.

You can now:

  • Build and manage invite lists directly on the event
  • Track email performance and registration rates
  • See exactly who was invited, who engaged, and how invites are converting

This gives teams clearer visibility into invite strategy and helps drive stronger attendance without guesswork.

Default Timezone Selection

For teams running global events, scheduling just got simpler.

You can now:

  • Set a default timezone
  • Limit the list of available timezones

This reduces clutter and helps keep event setup consistent — especially when multiple people are working on the same events.

 

Event Performance Reporting

Every event now includes a built-in Event Performance Report at the top of the event record.

This report surfaces key metrics like:

  • Unique invitees
  • Registrations
  • Attendees
  • Deals opened or closed

It’s a quick, visual way to understand how an event is performing — without building custom reports or pulling data from multiple places.

 

Deal List Integration in Event Builder

Events and pipeline are now more tightly connected.

The new Deal List in Event Builder allows you to automatically create and manage lists of deals associated with each event.

This makes it easier to:

  • Track opportunities influenced by events
  • Monitor outcomes directly from the event record
  • Keep sales and marketing aligned without manual tracking

Customizable Event List Columns

You can now tailor your event list view to match how your team works.

Event list columns can be added, removed, or rearranged so you can focus on the details that matter most — whether that’s status, dates, performance, or ownership.

This makes managing high event volume faster and less cluttered.

 

Credit Usage Dashboard

We’ve added a new Credit Usage Dashboard to give teams clearer visibility into consumption.

From one place, you can now see:

  • Total credits
  • Credits used
  • Usage broken down by event

This helps teams stay informed and plan confidently as event programs scale.

 

Updated Settings Navigation and Labels

We gave settings a much-needed refresh to make them easier to navigate and quicker to understand. A few highlights:

  • General Settings is now Preferences
  • Zoom settings are consolidated into a single section
  • Event Builder, Lead Capture, and Credit Usage settings are easier to find

Clearer labels and helpful tooltips make it easier to know where to go (and what each setting actually does) without digging around.
