Overview
Dhyuthi is the largest technical event in the IEEE SCT SB calendar. The challenge was to create a digital hub capable of conveying the scale of the fest, while integrating an automated registration and ticketing system to handle over a thousand participants.
System Architecture
The platform was built as a high-performance event command center:
- Constellation Engine: A custom-coded interactive background using canvas and particle systems to representing the "Dhyuthi" (Radiance) branding.
- Modular Track System: A scalable UI structure to categorize dozens of events into four primary technical tracks, allowing for simultaneous exploration.
- Registration & Ticketing: A robust backend powered by Google Apps Script and Google Sheets, automating the participant registration, confirmation, and the generation/delivery of digital tickets via email.
Implementation
The interactive hero section features a particle-based constellation system that reacts to user navigation, symbolizing the interconnected nature of the technical community. Leveraging Next.js static generation ensured lightning-fast performance even under heavy load during competition hours. The inclusion of an automated certificate distribution portal significantly reduced manual overhead for the organizing committee.
Outcome
The automated ticketing system successfully delivered and confirmed registrations for over 1000 participants, maintaining zero downtime throughout the 3-day event. It significantly reduced manual overhead, ensuring that every registrant received their credentials and event information instantly.
Lessons Learned
- Modular component design allowed organizers to add or modify event details on-the-fly without requiring a full site deployment.
- Mobile UI optimization for the schedule component was critical for fast, on-the-go information retrieval during the physical events.
