Attending meetups without proper session management can be frustrating for attendees. They struggle with not knowing which sessions have already happened, what sessions are upcoming, and the speakers presenting each session, and even lack access to session material like supporting slides and PDFs. This lack of information may lead to missed opportunities for learning and networking.
While event management solutions such as EventBrite and Meetup are beneficial for ticketing and managing RSVPs, they only provide a broader view of the event and fail to provide a convenient way of accessing session-specific information.
To address these challenges, we are creating an event sessions management web app that makes session information accessible to attendees.
Attendees will have access to the event schedule that displays all the sessions, past, current, and upcoming, allowing them to seamlessly navigate the event. They'll also be able to see all the session updates e.g. whether a session is upcoming, about to start, in progress, or has ended. In the future, we hope to add reminders for upcoming sessions and ad-hoc announcements such as venue changes, cancellations, or postponements. Each session will also include the speakers presenting, their socials, and any relevant resources.
