2025 Year in Review: The Features That Transformed Events This Year

In 2025, our focus was to make it easier for you to drive registrations, save time, and run smoother events.

Don't miss out on weekly insights.

Every feature and update we rolled out this year was built with those goals in mind. If we can remove friction, give you back hours in your week, or help you grow your events, that’s a win we celebrate right alongside you.

As this year comes to a fast close, it’s been especially rewarding to see these updates make a real difference for so many of you. Here’s a roundup of the most impactful features we introduced in 2025, just in case a few slipped by while the year was sprinting past us. 

1. Easily Issue Automated CEU Certificates

This year, we delivered one of our most requested upgrades for professional development events: fully integrated certificates for in-person sessions. If you offer CEUs or any kind of continuing education credit, you know the pain of spreadsheets, mail merges, and manual verification. Those days are over.

You can now create, customize, and issue certificates directly from RegFox: no exporting, no juggling data, and no late-night admin marathons. Certifications now work for any RegFox page, virtual or in-person, and can be generated with just a few clicks. Your attendees stay certified, and you stay sane. 

Check out this video overview to create certificates of attendance in RegFox.

2. Prevent Abandoned Registrations with Winback Emails!

Abandoned registrations are a reality, but now we’re helping you close the gap. With Winback Emails, attendees who stall during checkout automatically receive a friendly reminder 20 minutes later, inviting them to return and complete their registration. The process is fully automated, easy to enable, and designed to recover conversions that would have otherwise been lost. It’s a simple, reliable way to increase registrations without adding extra work to your plate. 

Watch this video to learn how to create a Winback email in your RegFox account.

3. Contact Imports to Keep Your Attendee Data Clean and Centralized

Managing your audience just became a whole lot easier. With the new Contact Imports tool, you can upload new contacts or update existing ones, using a simple CSV file. It eliminates manual entry and reduces errors across the board. Whether you’re migrating data from another system or consolidating leads from past events, everything now flows into one clean, centralized location inside RegFox.

4. Contact Tagging & Advanced Filtering for Smarter Segmentation for Better Communication

Understanding your audience has never been more precise. Contact Tagging & Advanced Filtering introduces a new level of clarity by allowing you to organize and segment your contacts with custom tags, such as sponsors, VIPs, groups, or local attendees, and then refine your outreach with powerful filtering tools.

You can now identify high-value purchasers by total spend, highlight repeat attendees, or build custom segments with flexible range-based filters. These enhancements make it easier to communicate strategically and meaningfully with the individuals who matter most to your events.

5. Badge Printing with Check-in App: Keep Lines Moving and Attendees Happy

On-site badge printing got a major efficiency boost this year. With our upgraded check-in app for iOS and Android, attendees can scan in and receive a clean, professional badge with a name, company, and QR/NFC code, all within seconds.

Group check-ins are now lightning fast, too. A single tap checks in the entire registration, and if you're using a Zebra printer on iOS, you can print every badge in the group at once. We even removed the preview step to keep lines moving at full speed. The result? Shorter waits, smoother flow, and happier guests from the moment they arrive.

6. Kiosk Mode: Let Attendees Register Themselves in Seconds

If your event takes same-day registrations, Kiosk Mode is your new favorite teammate. Attendees can now register themselves onsite using a streamlined, self-serve interface without any staff intervention. Just toggle on Kiosk Mode in your page settings or directly inside the check-in app, and your registration page transforms into a clean, touch-friendly, attendee-ready station.

Paired with self-check-in and badge printing, it dramatically reduces wait times and gives your event entrance a polished, professional feel. It’s the fast lane your attendees didn’t know they needed.

Try Kiosk Mode today and give your attendees a smoother, faster check-in experience.

7. Google Pay and Apple Pay — need we say more?

Payment flexibility plays a key role in driving conversions, and this year we introduced Apple Pay and Google Pay to streamline your checkout experience. Attendees can now complete their purchase with a single tap, no card numbers, no manual entry, no friction.

This upgrade significantly reduces abandoned transactions and improves performance on mobile devices, especially during peak traffic. The implementation is straightforward, fully secure, and built to meet modern expectations for fast, intuitive payment experiences.

Other Notable New Features and Enhancements

🗓️ Multi-day Check-in with RegFox Check-in App -  Multi-day event management is now easier than ever, like butter on a freshly warmed bagel. With the upgraded RegFox Check-In App, you can manage check-ins across multiple days or sessions, redeem merchandise, and view full activity histories. All supported by timestamped attendee exports.

🇨🇦 SMS Messaging for Canadian Organizers - SMS messaging is now available for events hosted by our Canadian friends in the north. It’s fast, reliable, and moose-approved. 

📈 Tracking Parameters in GA4 Data - Tracking parameters from major marketing platforms now flow directly into GA4 for all orders, providing stronger attribution and more accurate reporting. With cleaner, more complete data, you can better understand which channels are driving registrations, think of it as analytics, with its coffee finally kicked in.

💳 Across All Products - By this point, you may have noticed that RegFox isn’t our only product. Memberships are now fully connected across RegFox, TicketSpice, and RedPodium. Whether someone buys in one system or renews in another, everything syncs automatically—teamwork that would make a relay squad proud.

🔐 Attendee App Login Flow - We made logging into the Engage Attendee App delightfully simple with a one-click flow that cuts out the clutter. Each registrant now receives a personal login link in their confirmation email, ready to go faster than you can say “Where’s my badge?”

None of the progress we made this year would have been possible without our incredible team. In 2025, we welcomed a new wave of talented, dedicated teammates who jumped right in and helped bring these improvements to life. We’re grateful for their contributions and excited for everything we’ll build together next.

Our team also hit the road this year, attending conferences and events where we were able to connect with many of you in person. Those conversations gave us valuable insight into what you need most, and they’re already helping shape what’s coming next for RegFox. We can’t wait to see even more of you in the year ahead.
