These include the Green Room, where speakers can prepare with organizers before speaking, a Q&A system for interactive exchanges, video recording capabilities, communication to notify attendees about upcoming events via email, and a statistics and audience analysis system.
Town Halls will be available starting from October 5, 2023.
