Conferia interface preview

Overview

Conferia is an Integrated Digital Ecosystem built for life-science conference organisers — a centralised CRM & Event Management System, a Website Content Management Portal, an Online Partnering Platform, four conference websites and native Android/iOS apps. One operational environment for conferences, registrations, attendees, sponsors, speakers, staff, business development, one-to-one meetings, invoicing, payments, reporting and website content.

Problem

Operations were split across spreadsheets, LinkedIn outreach, separate websites and manual invoicing. Leads were duplicated, meeting scheduling was manual and error-prone, and website content could only be updated by developers.

Goal

Unify lead-to-payment, event operations and attendee networking into one scalable, secure, mobile-friendly platform that non-technical teams can run themselves across multiple events.

Research

  • Mapped the full client flow: raw database → leads → NCL → interested → registration → invoice → active/summit list → partnering
  • Business development teams needed duplicate-lead detection and LinkedIn outreach tracking per staff account
  • Attendees judged the event on one thing: how easily they could find the right person and lock a meeting slot
  • Organisers needed the agenda internal-first and published to websites only after approval

User Flow

  1. Raw data
  2. Lead / NCL
  3. Interested
  4. Registration
  5. Invoice & payment
  6. Active list
  7. Partnering
  8. Meetings & agenda

Wireframes

Low-fidelity flows covered three surfaces in parallel — CRM pipeline stages, the partnering dashboard, and the mobile meeting journey — so the same participant record read consistently everywhere.
