About

INFOMOTION is a German data, analytics and AI consultancy that calls itself the data performance company. It runs conferences, meetups, workshops and webinars to share expertise and grow its professional network, and wanted its online events to offer the same chance encounters and conversations that make its in-person events worth attending for clients and partners.

Challenge

Webinars broadcast to an audience but drop the part of an event people value most: walking into a room, seeing who is there and starting a conversation. For a consultancy that wins business through relationships, online events that felt like one-way broadcasts meant fewer real conversations with prospects and partners. INFOMOTION needed a virtual venue where guests could move freely, see each other and talk, without creating yet another account.

Solution

INFOMOTION needed a venue, not another meeting link. We built a space guests move through, with the same sense of presence as a real event floor.

Discovery & Strategy

Modeled the venue as organizations, spaces, rooms and room types
Defined real-time presence: who is where, and who just joined
Chose company Microsoft sign-in so guests need no new password

Design & Engineering

Built the Angular app on a GraphQL API using Apollo
Built the Strapi backend for organizations, spaces, rooms and chat
Built live presence and chat over Socket.io with unread badges
Built an admin panel for managing spaces and rooms

Launch

Deployed the apps and tested them with INFOMOTION’s team
Launched to production together with the client’s IT team

The Results

Outcome Summary

INFOMOTION gave its event guests a place to network rather than just watch. Guests sign in with their company accounts, move between rooms and talk live, while organizers shape each space around the event. The client summed up the delivery as great communication, top understanding of the spec, autonomous development and everything perfect.
