Organizing an expo, a conference or even a small-scale meetup is far from an easy endeavor. You have to come up with the concept very early on, sometimes more than a full year ahead of the event. You then have to organize everything, from speakers to the venue, logistics, tickets, program… And only then can you start inviting people to your event. By the time the whole thing is over, most organizers are so exhausted they need a two-month vacation just to get it back together.
Considering how time-consuming and exhausting it can be for individuals and agencies to organize and host expos and conferences, it’s clear they can use all the help they can get. One of the most important parts in advertising an event can, at the same time, be the part that helps them save time and energy, and that’s a good website.

However, it is not enough to simply slap this information on a single page without thinking of user experience.

Information must be provided in a clear and straightforward manner and the site should follow the basic rules best UX practice.
