Online application for event management

The Christian Conference Trust are a charity providing conference facilities from three locations within the UK. Each centre offers day and residential conference facilities, as well as a range of meeting rooms for smaller groups.

The charity required a platform that would allow event organisers to manage their event online. This needed to include gathering attendee information, meal requirements, room allocation, and details such as room layout preferences. This information would then need to be accessible to Christian Conference Trust, allowing them to effectively organise the event.

As their requirements were so specific, they were seeking a solution that could be built around their needs.

As this web application was so extensive, Adept spent a number of days with the Christian Conference Trust to analyse their whole event organisation process. This allowed us to see the information each department required and how best to format it for them.

The application also needed to integrate with their database system, to allow the  conference centre to easily feed through room details so the event organiser could allocate rooms to their attendees.

After we'd established the requirements for the platform, we outlined all of the functional processes through wireframes, so that we could demonstrate to the client how the system would operate.

We worked to make sure the design of the application felt extremely user friendly, for both the event organiser and the conference centre staff.

The platform was developed on our Unicity CMS, which easily accommodates this type of project through its adaptable coding capabilities.

The Event Manager application has been a huge success and is now a key asset for the Christian Conference Trust. In 2019, the charity saw nearly 95% of their clients using the platform to organise their events.
