Fourwaves adds custom domain support for event websites, removing the hosted-subdomain constraint for conference organizers

event-managementconference-softwarecustom-domainwhite-labelacademic-events
◆Current state
Fourwaves is shipping consistent weekly improvements to its conference management platform: custom domain mapping for event websites, an auth gate before registration forms, and presentation/participant visibility parity between the mobile app and event website. The platform is also tightening workflow correctness — fixing reviewer workload counts in assignment confirmation and fixing raw markup in bio rendering.
◆Where it's heading
Custom domain support moves Fourwaves toward white-label territory — event organizers can now present a fully branded web presence without the hosted subdomain being visible. The sign-in gate before forms suggests the platform is building more secure, verifiable attendee flows. Together these point to a push up-market toward professional and academic conference organizers.
◆Prediction
Following custom domains, additional white-label features such as branded emails and registration confirmations, or improvements to the abstract submission and review workflow, are the most likely next moves.

    App view now matches event website for presentations and sessions

    Presentations, participants, and sessions now display consistently in the app view and the event website, closing a parity gap that made the mobile app feel like a second-class interface for event attendees.

    Fixes the reviewer assignment confirmation screen showing an incorrect review count that ignored the maximum reviewer workload setting — a UI correctness fix in the review management flow.

    Organizers can now connect their own domain to event websites

    ⚡ SPARK

    Custom domain support lands for Fourwaves event websites — organizers can now map their own domain to the event site, removing the hosted-subdomain constraint that made the platform visible behind every event's public URL. This is the single biggest capability addition in this window and aligns with the product's push toward professional, white-labeled event experiences.

    Search fields now expose a proper label to screen readers — an accessibility fix with no visible impact for sighted users but meaningful for keyboard and screen-reader navigation of event content.

    September 9, 2026

    Fixes formatted bio text showing raw markup in the direct messaging profile panel — a rendering bug that made rich-text bios unreadable in the messaging context.

    September 8, 2026

    Registration and submission forms now require sign-in or account creation before a visitor can fill them out — an intentional friction addition that improves attribution and prevents duplicate or anonymous submissions.
