The pandemic had just hit, forcing the MariaDB Database Innovation Summit 2021 to pivot to a fully virtual format. The event required a branded, scalable microsite to support multiple live video sessions while keeping attendees informed and engaged.
Challenge
When the MariaDB Database Innovation Summit 2021 transitioned to a fully virtual format, it needed a branded, scalable microsite that could support live video sessions, real-time updates, and seamless attendee engagement. The platform had to be intuitive, visually cohesive, and optimized for performance across all devices.
Key challenges included:
• Creating a user-friendly interface for navigating multiple live sessions.
• Ensuring brand consistency across the microsite, presentations, and video content.
• Optimizing for performance while handling dynamic content updates.
Attendees often struggled with virtual event fatigue and difficulty tracking sessions, requiring a solution that prioritized clarity, engagement, and ease of use.
Approach
To streamline the user experience, I developed a scalable design system that maintained consistency across all event materials. The microsite was structured as a centralized hub, featuring:
• A branded interface aligned with MariaDB’s visual identity.
• A dynamic agenda system, allowing for real-time schedule updates.
• An interactive video player, making it easy to switch between live sessions.
• Optimized layouts and compressed assets to ensure fast load times across devices.
