What is Eventscase?
Eventscase publishes event-industry commentary, and its product work never appears here
This feed is Eventscase's marketing blog. Entries are industry commentary — climate resilience in event planning, audience macrosegments, an anonymous survey of event professionals collected at a Barcelona conference — with one recurring format, The Event Loop, that recaps the company's own half-year in general terms. Bodies are single-paragraph summaries. No release, feature or version appears in the capture.
What is Fourwaves?
Fourwaves is in a polish cycle: custom-domain fixes, accessibility rules and password UX.
Fourwaves runs an event platform for academic conferences and ships small changes every few days. Since late September the work has covered participant communication (DM alerts, preferences, richer discussion emails) and organizer setup, especially custom domains: one-click DNS copy, root domains through A records, and a fix for language resets on custom-domain events. The latest items are accessibility and account hygiene.

Eventscase publishes event-industry commentary, and its product work never appears here
◆ Current state
This feed is Eventscase's marketing blog. Entries are industry commentary — climate resilience in event planning, audience macrosegments, an anonymous survey of event professionals collected at a Barcelona conference — with one recurring format, The Event Loop, that recaps the company's own half-year in general terms. Bodies are single-paragraph summaries. No release, feature or version appears in the capture.
◆ Where it's heading
The topical drift is toward operations: badging systems handling late registration, onsite services, applied AI mentioned in the half-year recap. That suggests where the company wants to be seen competing, but the posts argue categories rather than announce capability, so nothing here supports a read on what the platform actually does now versus six months ago.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next Event Loop recap around year end to be the closest thing to a product summary this feed produces. Actual releases will need another source.
Fourwaves
6.3MEETINGS
Fourwaves is in a polish cycle: custom-domain fixes, accessibility rules and password UX.
◆ Current state
Fourwaves runs an event platform for academic conferences and ships small changes every few days. Since late September the work has covered participant communication (DM alerts, preferences, richer discussion emails) and organizer setup, especially custom domains: one-click DNS copy, root domains through A records, and a fix for language resets on custom-domain events. The latest items are accessibility and account hygiene.
◆ Where it's heading
The cadence is steady and incremental, with no new product surface since the September pricing change. Custom-domain support is being hardened case by case, which suggests more organizers are running events on their own domains. Participant-side work has shifted from engagement features to account and form basics.
◆ Prediction
Expect more small custom-domain and accessibility fixes on the same few-day cadence; the entries do not point to a larger feature or another pricing change.
