Connact: architecture for consequential event and enterprise platforms
Provide technical direction, architecture design, and hands-on engineering for government-level events, enterprise platforms, and digital services in the UAE, including the World Governments Summit and the World Sports Summit.
The challenge
Event platforms carry a fixed date, a global audience, and many content owners. The World Governments Summit needed to leave a tightly coupled CMS setup behind without putting a live edition at risk.
The response
Moved WGS 2024, 2025, and 2026 to Sitefinity headless with a Next.js front end, integrated Salesforce APIs, THEOplayer streaming, and multi-site content workflows, and built the World Sports Summit 2025 platform on Strapi, Next.js, and AWS.
