So what’s new (Last updated 14 December 2023)
Update to how events look and run.
- Events are our biggest shift, employing the benefits of a powerhouse eventing platform, Eventbrite. The update allows us more flexibility, better reporting and the opportunity to enhance member value.
Submissions, News and Press Release
- Our delivery mechanism for submissions has been updated, moving it from a purely PDF based deliver to an hybrid delivery. This helps us with Google search and should have an impact on our digital reputation.
- Press releases are now available immediately, no longer after a 3 hour wait. This allows us to be agile in the market and make sure our messaging is relevant.
- News is a more managed and curated section now, with more engagement opportunity and the ability to keep members more up to date than ever before.
Revamped Home Page
- Our home page has been restructured to give you access to the important things first. Click through our lead banners to see what the latest is across the APGA.
Updated navigation
- The new APGA site has an updated navigation, allowing for a more streamlined journey though the website.
Updated Members Only Sections
- For those logging into the site as members, the members only section has changed. You will find a few more resources behind the member wall, easily accessible as soon as you are logged in, with more to come.
Updated Training Page
