Salesforce Days

In 2022, Salesforce introduced a new event called Salesforce Days to support its ecosystem worldwide. They asked me to help with the main event website and the pre-and-post-event pages. 

Salesforce Days included events for users in different time zones globally. One of the problems to figure out was how to allow users to find the topics they were interested in that were also held at convenient times for their location. 

The main event site was built in two parts. The front end was a Vue web app that pulled data from the Craft CMS backend with GraphQL. The filtering system worked and allowed users to share schedules because each detailed search was bookmarkable. The infrastructure was hosted on Heroku.
