We are glad to announce the new Indico v0.98 which brings many new features and improvements, such as:

• Indico is now faster thanks to many performance optimizations, including event overview, timetable, abstract and contribution listing. Navigation itself is in general more prompt.
• Web chat integration: organizers chairing remote meetings can create a chat room for the attendees and a direct link to the room will be published in the home page of the event. Lear more from here.
  
• New map of rooms in the Room Booking system: this Google Maps application will help you to geographically locate the rooms, check their availability or even to look for rooms around the building of  your choice: https://indico.cern.ch/roomBooking.py/mapOfRooms
  
• Paper reviewing module: full reviewing process for the papers have been integrated in this version 0.98. Learn more from here.
• Updated the search engine in order to provide a faster indexing of data and straightaway search results.
• Multi-file upload: now one can upload multiple files at the same time.
