Project Goals
Liferay Developer Conference
Liferay chose platform partner SCOOCS to help stage its DEVCON event with a little help from an Eighties video game icon
As DEVCON is a renowned event with established branding , using the SCOOCS self-service suite of features , the team could directly carry over the events ’ unique design into the platform without any custom development .
The Liferay DEVCON team wished to entertain their attendees with an icon of vintage video gaming that has a very special place in all our hearts : monsieur et mademoiselle Pacman .
To make this wish come true , SCOOCS built the possibility to include an HTML iFrame field to the dashboard of the event where event attendees could play a quick game of Pacman or listen to a Spotify play-list .
Multiple Stages and Simultaneous Sessions
With such a rich and diverse agenda , the ability to create , customise and manage different stages with simultaneous sessions was essential for the Liferay DEVCON team .
The main stage was running during the three full-days , welcoming various keynote speakers with insightful talks .
Moreover , attendees could also join four different workshop sessions and enjoy several thematic coffee lounges . If anyone got lost or needed help , SCOOCS tech support was always available to answer any doubts or
