Creating a conference web app

    @rickaltman

    I would like to turn to BuddyPress to create the mobile web app for our annual conference (180 attendees, three tracks of seminars). It seems as if BP would be well-suited for this task — are there any white papers, FAQs, or extended discussions about this here?

    Many thanks in advance…

    Describe how the app would work?

    I would want attendees of our conference to be able to do the following:

    – Browse a schedule of seminars
    – See bios of speakers
    – Access files uploaded by speakers
    – See a directory of other attendees
    – Communicate with them, by direct message and some sort of group post
    – Post to the conference’s FB page
    – Send tweets with our hashtag autopopulated

    That’s a decent list for starters…

    groups can be used as seminars
    members directory can be attendees
    profiles can be bios
    There is a docs plugin to shsre files
    BP has private messaging
    Posting to FB and twitter might require custom code. Try BuddyStream plugin

    As the original poster, I would like to return to this discussion, as I am having a difficult time getting started. I’m not sure if the capability I seek is native to BP and I’m just not figuring out how to get results, or if I need plugins and haven’t found the right ones. Let’s take these one at a time:

    Q: How might I create a schedule of seminars with the following components:

    – Column layout to show three-across seminars for concurrent tracks
    – Title, description, link to speaker bio
    – Ability to favorite specific sessions and create a personal calendar.

    Any help with this task would be appreciated…
