Evento

Event Management App for the Web

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Whenever we are organizing an event in colleges, mostly the usual approach is as follows.

We create a google form for accepting registrations, then we craft a long message on WhatsApp about the event and attach the Google Form link to the message, and send this message to our different WhatsApp groups, but this approach has a lot of limitations.

  1. Anyone can manipulate the message and can also remove the registration link or even add false information.
  2. Google forms are boring and dull.
  3. We cannot attach other services to google forms such as sending confirmation emails to people who registered for the event.
  4. Event information through Whatsapp only reaches a limited number of people.
  5. We cannot sell tickets without a proper web application.
  6. Creating a website to reach a large number of people is a good choice but creating web pages is time-consuming and requires technical knowledge.
OBJECTIVE

The goal is to develop a web-based platform that will allow event organizers to create an event, promote it and manage guest registrations.

The platform should provide an intuitive and fast interface for

  1. Creating hosted web pages for the events with a single click.
  2. Sharing event information with images, descriptions, and google maps.
  3. Accepting guest registrations using auto-integrated forms
  4. Sending confirmation emails automatically to registered users
  5. Making it easy for the organizers to manage the guest list.
  6. Turning registration form on/off based on the requirements.
  7. Proper SEO so that the event information reaches a wider audience
