PayPal

On-Campus Conference & Event App

Background

PayPal's San Jose campus includes an X room conference and event venue which is utilized for everything from large team-wide gathers to guest speakers or global all-hands. As part of our inaugural Developer Conference, a small team of volunteers designed an open-source event management and engagement suite for web and app surfaces.

Goals

• Build an end-to-end event management platform, scalable to all of PayPal Inc and Subsidiaries
• Encourage attendance, engagement and social actions
• Allow event admins to customize fields and required information

How might we improve discoverability beyond printed posters?

“I never know what's happening on campus”

“There's so much overhead to planning a conference”

“It's hard to know where I should invest my time without knowing what each breakout session is about”

“Conferences should be easy to attend”

Problem Statement

As a PayPal employee, I want an easy way to discover, RSVP, and attend on-campus conferences, so that I can feel better connected with my colleagues
