Sitr Launches CRM, Time-Slot Events & Ticketing—Powers 400+ Users at UConn Medical School Formal
A week of major updates transforms Sitr from a seating tool into a full event-management platform with built-in relationship intelligence.
Real-World Validation: UConn Medical School Formal
The annual formal at the University of Connecticut Medical School has become a proving ground for Sitr. The school's outgoing Committee of Social Chairs had highly recommended the platform, and the newly incoming chairs independently chose to use Sitr again for this year's event. Over 400 users found and reserved their seats through the platform, and approximately 1,000 emails were dispatched via Sitr's built-in email blast functionality.
What's New
Built-In CRM with Social Graph Intelligence
Sitr now automatically builds a social graph of event attendees. When someone signs up and attends, Sitr identifies who likely left the event knowing each other and assigns a social-graph score. Organizers can view relationship maps, tag attendees, add notes, and build longitudinal relationships.
Time-Slot Sign-Up Events
Not every event needs a seating chart. Sitr now supports time-slot-based sign-ups, where organizers define available windows across multiple days and invitees select the time that works best. Ideal for medical school interviews, office hours, and group meetups.
Integrated Ticketing
Event organizers can now sell tickets directly through Sitr, eliminating the need for a separate ticketing provider.
Global Time Zone Support
The platform now correctly handles all time zones worldwide, ensuring accurate event times for organizers and attendees regardless of location.
Email Blast Performance Overhaul
The email system now batches all recipients into just two API calls, dramatically improving speed and reliability over the previous one-at-a-time approach.
