Invision Community proudly powers the newly launched AI Skills Hub, created by Innovate UK in partnership with PwC! Invision Community 5 offers a broad range of capabilities beyond just classic forums that enables you to build out an entire interactive website with community at its heart, and that is what we did for Innovate UK.

The AI Skills Hub is part of the UK’s national push to upskill workers across high-impact sectors like agriculture, construction, creative industries, and transport. With an urgent need for practical, ethical, and industry-specific AI training, the Hub brings together learners, employers, and training providers in one seamless digital environment. Invision Community is the perfect platform for this project. Let’s take a look at some of the functionality we provide.

Organize webinars and events

The AI Skills Hub runs a full schedule of in-person and online events along with webinars all organized by our built in Events manager. Members can follow these calendars to get notified instantly when new events are available and confirm attendance with the RSVP system.

Create pages, courses, and blogs

Our pages application allows AI Skills Hub to create resources, statistics and FAQ that look great across all devices — no need to learn a complicated CMS or how to code. Additionally, leveling up skills is key to the success of the AI Skills Hub. This is where our courses functionality stands out as the backbone of the learning pathway system. Members can learn about tech-stacks, generative AI and more in a structured process.

In a fast moving sector, it’s important that members are kept up to date on key topics. Our built-in blogging functionality helps the AI Skills Hub keep their members in the loop. With the ability to subscribe, it’s easy to ensure members are brought back to the site.

“AI is here to stay,” said Zlatina Loudjeva of PwC in the official press release. “To benefit, workers must take charge of their development.” We couldn’t agree more—and we’re proud to be part of this project, proving that Invision Community is much more than just a forum platform!

That feature is broken.

It's a known issue and will be fixed in an upcoming release. Thanks, NSPN.

It’ll be in the next beta.

Was this fixed in 5.0.9 release? I don't see it in the release notes, but so many things were fixed that I might have missed it.

I need to update the dev notes, but it made it in.

This means a lot to us. Thanks!

Question on Events and RSVPs, was there or is there any intention of having Guest level RSVP? It's pretty rare in my events to have just members coming, i.e. say a father is a member and we have a dinner, then he wants to bring his wife and two kids. It's not reasonable to expect the wife and kids to sign up just to join the Event, however it's very important to maintain an accurate headcount for RSVPs relative to capacity at the Event restaurant.

If v5 Events don't handle this, I'm curious to see how others manage it or plan to. It has historically been a challenge on my sites.

To clarify terminology, on our forum, we have Guests who have forum accounts and Paid Members. In this sense, Guests can RSVP. I assume that what you want is for (small g) guests who don't have forum accounts to be able to RSVP...I don't see how this could be done. Would it suffice to have attendees with accounts to be able to indicate +1 or +2...?

A related issue is how to have attendees get notifications of comments on an event...see

I’ll share this idea with the dev team. Would you mind creating a topic in the feedback forum as well?

Thanks for the suggestion!

Right, sorry not to confuse with actual Guest member group of the software but a guest relative to the member who is RSVPing to the event. The overarching goal is to not require member's guests to an Event to sign up just for the sake of being accounted for in the Event's headcount. The +N approach was my thought as to how to solve for this as well, but it needs to be accounted for in the total RSVP count whereas if you have a threshold set, it's clear how many spots are left.

I did create a topic awhile back on this here: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/472005-suggestion-enhance-event-management-to-include-plus-n-attendees-in-rsvp/

Was hoping in v5 it would be considered since it wasn't for v4.
