Virtual Conference with Next.js

Planning an event in 2021?

In collaboration with Next.js and Vercel, Agility CMS is giving you a powerful platform that is optimized to drive registration and performance!

With a few clicks, you will have a powerful conference platform ready for you to launch virtual events. 

Live Demo:

Why you will love this Starter Kit:

  • Delegation: Running a conference is difficult – you have to delegate tasks to third-parties to ensure success. Certain elements of an online conference experience are tough to get right, and we'd rather lean on established, industry leading solutions.
  • Flexibility: While delegating certain elements of the conference experience is helpful, it's also important to own the platform. That's why this template provides a flexible open-source codebase that can be modified for your event.
  • Reducing Risk: It's inevitable something will go wrong during your event. This platform reduces risk by leaning on a dynamic site that outputs as static files. These static files are cached, ensuring your site is never down. Then, it uses Serverless Functions to sprinkle dynamic content on top, which are hosted by a provider with 99.99% uptime.

And all of this, in just a few clicks:

1. CLONE

This virtual event starter kit was used to run Next.js Conf 2020, which had almost 40,000 live attendees. Now it is available to you! Just clone Git Repository with 1 click!

2. DEPLOY

Another click - deploy to Vercel, a cloud platform for static sites and Serverless Functions that enables developers to host Jamstack websites: deploy instantly, scale automatically, and requires no supervision, all with no configuration.

3. CUSTOMIZE

This starter kit includes the following features but all components are fully customizable (not just "white-label", we mean it - fully!):

  • Multiple stages with an embedded YouTube stream
  • Sponsor expo, including individual virtual booths
  • Career Fair, allowing attendees to network and find job opportunities 
  • Ticket registration and generation
  • Speaker pages and bios
  • Schedule 

With Agility CMS you have all the tools you need to create amazing content fast.
