What is Airmeet?

Virtual events platform on a slow monthly digest, with mobile apps being retired

Airmeet publishes monthly roll-ups and the feed records each one two or three times. The April 2026 digest covers event experience, insights and analytics, and operational improvements without naming individual features. The October 2025 digest is more specific — bulk speaker upload, automated CTAs, video embeds, audio reactions. Between them sits an announcement that Airmeet's mobile applications are transitioning.

What is Fourwaves?

Fourwaves is closing the gaps around its payments layer and its form editor at the same time.

Fourwaves publishes a near-daily, one-line changelog covering small changes to the conference organiser's admin surface. The August window is dominated by payments and money administration: transaction filtering by organisation and by payment gateway, the Free plan surfaced in the upgrade checkout, and Authorize.net added as a supported processor. The two newest entries move elsewhere — self-service account creation from the sign-in page, and a guard that blocks deleting fields, sections, or choices still referenced elsewhere in an event, with a warning naming what depends on them.

Virtual events platform on a slow monthly digest, with mobile apps being retired

◆ Current state

Airmeet publishes monthly roll-ups and the feed records each one two or three times. The April 2026 digest covers event experience, insights and analytics, and operational improvements without naming individual features. The October 2025 digest is more specific — bulk speaker upload, automated CTAs, video embeds, audio reactions. Between them sits an announcement that Airmeet's mobile applications are transitioning.

◆ Where it's heading

The named features cluster around reducing event-operator setup work: bulk uploads, automated CTAs, embedded video. That is the shape of a platform optimizing for organizers running many events rather than attendees experiencing one. The digests have grown less specific over time, and the gap between October and April, plus the mobile app transition, reads as consolidation rather than expansion.

◆ Prediction

The digests do not name enough concrete work to support a confident call on what ships next; the mobile app transition is the one announced change whose consequences are still unresolved in the feed.

Fourwaves is closing the gaps around its payments layer and its form editor at the same time.

◆ Current state

Fourwaves publishes a near-daily, one-line changelog covering small changes to the conference organiser's admin surface. The August window is dominated by payments and money administration: transaction filtering by organisation and by payment gateway, the Free plan surfaced in the upgrade checkout, and Authorize.net added as a supported processor. The two newest entries move elsewhere — self-service account creation from the sign-in page, and a guard that blocks deleting fields, sections, or choices still referenced elsewhere in an event, with a warning naming what depends on them.

◆ Where it's heading

The work is aimed at multi-event organisations rather than single-conference organisers; transaction filtering and a second payment processor only matter if you run several events through shared gateways. The referential-integrity guard on form fields points at the same maturity problem from the other side — events configured deeply enough that deleting a field silently breaks something downstream, which is a complaint you only get once customers build complex forms. Individually each change is minor; together they describe a platform being made to hold more events per customer.

◆ Prediction

Expect the payments thread to continue — further gateway options or per-organisation payment configuration are the natural next step now that transactions can be filtered by gateway. The date-stamped daily format suggests the cadence holds regardless of the size of what ships.
