Hi Allison,
Thank you for raising this, and for holding us to a high accessibility standard. When we say, "Expect more from your events," this is exactly what we mean. We're grateful to our community, and users like you, who are helping to make sure experiences are inclusive and accessible.
As the head of our accessibility team, I can say we've been part of the product rebrand from the beginning, offering feedback and support every step of the way. On the specific question of feature status, we worked hard to ensure the experience is accessible. Color is part of the status treatment, but it is not the only signal. We also use text, and that text has the proper contrast against the background.
More broadly, the Performance Green is meant to be an accent in our brand system, not the feature itself. For example, in marketing materials, it is not used as a base for text as that would not be accessible.
We also know a visual change like this is noticeable, and it can be surprising to see it in the product for the first time. That's exactly why our product and UX teams were intentional about making sure the change was strictly visual. We avoided any functional capability changes so as not to disrupt how customers work in the platform.
We appreciate the thoughtful feedback and the care behind it. If you'd like to continue the conversation, please reach out to WebAccessibility@cvent.com which routes emails directly to me and my team.
