Event management and virtual conference platform for academic and scientific events

fourwaves.com ↗

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.

    Password managers now suggest passwords on activation and reset

    Account activation and password reset forms now let password managers suggest a strong password. A small markup fix in the participant account flow.

    Single-select fields now require at least two options

    Single-select form fields now require at least two options, an accessibility rule applied to organizers' forms. It tightens form building rather than adding capability.

  4. 9d ago

    Fix: language no longer resets on custom-domain events

    Fixes the selected language resetting on reload for events on their own domain. Another fix in the custom-domain path Fourwaves has been refining all month.

  5. 10d ago

    Root domains now connectable via A records for any DNS provider

    Organizers whose DNS provider lacks ALIAS or ANAME records can now put an event on a root domain through support-configured A records. It removes a blocker for running events on an apex domain and extends the custom-domain work from earlier in October.

    Track filter for presentation lists

    Organizers can add a Track filter to presentation lists on both the event site and the virtual platform. For multi-track academic conferences, it makes large programs browsable and continues the recent focus on the attendee experience.
