This is becoming more and more a request from clients to have an event website, where you can manage and run your event all using a website.
This chapter is largely based off the Cream distribution (https://drupal.org/project/cream) and a simpler approach to how it was built. Cream is one of the distributions I maintain. In fact, it runs off the second biggest Drupalcamp in the world. As it stated at the beginning, I'm one of the organisers of Drupalcamp London and have been so since 2013.
What we found was important in an event is the following:
- Session submissions
- Session feedback (using Disqus)
- Session management
- Schedules
- Sponsor signup and management
- Social media integration (twitter, facebook)
- Location of the venue
- Selling tickets (we'll use Drupal Commerce for this)
