Introduction

We’re enhancing the Engage Events experience to provide a more comprehensive and interactive platform for organizational events. This update introduces Broadcast for large-scale produced events, Meetings-based Events, and new capabilities such as moderated feeds and anonymous posting on both web and mobile. Additionally, an Events Landing Page will offer a unified experience for attendees and organizers across all stages: Before, During, and After the event.
