How Our New Conference Management Plugin Works

by Teresa Valdez Klein on June 13, 2007

We’re happy to announce that after much tinkering and many adjustments to the massive plugin we’ve been talking about, we’re finally ready to call it a late beta.

Here’s what the plugin does:

  • Allows community members to propose and vote on sessions and speakers for our conferences.
  • Allows anyone to sign up to be a partner level sponsor of our conferences for free.
  • Tracks clickthroughs and conference registrations to award additional sponsorship benefits to partner-level sponsors, or to allow sponsors who have written us checks to offset the cost of their sponsorships.

And yes, we did all this by working within WordPress.

So please do try the plugin out and either e-mail me or leave us a comment here with your feedback.

UPDATE: There seems to have been some confusion about the plugin’s availability. This is not something we developed to offer as a free download. It’s a behemoth custom conference management install with lots of site customization required. It’s for exclusive use here on BBS for the time being. Please give it a shot here on our site and let us know what you think.

Nate: The plugin is not available for download. It runs on this site and this site only. You can use it here though :-).
