Challenge Details:
The purpose of the challenge is to come up with design concepts for the Executive Briefing Center (EBC) Meeting Planner. The EBC Meeting Planner is used to promote goods and services of one organization to another. The EBC routinely hosts executives to outline service offerings, promote sales, and offer solutions to complex organizational needs. These meetings are broad in scope and can be multiple day events attended by a number of top-level executives. The EBC platform has the unique opportunity to host and display a rich agenda to top-level executives.
About the Application:
We are looking to design a responsive (mobile and desktop) application that captures these user roles.
1) User is logged in:
- All specific meeting information is accessed only by the people attending the meeting
- No personal information such as a phone number is available to any other participant or casual viewer
- No attendee information is shared with other attendees or other registered users.
2) User is not logged in (Guest – unregistered User):
- For a non-registered user, all information will be shown as a preview or overview information.
- They will have the ability to tour the application which will be a general presentation about the company.
- User can request additional information through the application.
3) Admin:
- An admin should have complete control of meeting materials, and will have the ability to update the information which will be reflected in both the Web and Mobile application.
- Information content should be secure and specific meeting information presented to each participant while allowing the casual viewer to surf through content that will inform and create interest in the EBC, but not see information pertaining to individual participants or information about specific meetings being conducted within the EBC.
IMPORTANT!!
- We are looking for responsive designs..
- Branding is open to the designers - think exectutives!
- Please use a placeholder for logo
- Both the mobile and desktop views we need to have the same look and feel
- Think of a modern FLAT design.
Screen Sizes:
Desktop: 1024px as width and height as required
Mobile: 320 x 480px
Required Pages:
For this challenge, we will designing only the Attendees (logged in and not-logged users) screens.

- Lodging
- Destination City points of interest,
- Dietary
- Contacts with two name and phone numbers (Meeting Coordinator and other contacts) – please see page 2 in pdf for details on this.
Thoughts:
- Think of how to show a difference in the menu for logged in and not logged in users
- Should the menu/navigation be “meeting” driven i.e. once a user chooses the meeting they attend, and then show the above menu items?
0. Welcome Screen: (Page 2 in PDF)

1. Directions Screen: (Page 3 in PDF)
Directions page for Mobile App can contain links to navigation tools and should show an address of the meeting location as well as contacts of the meeting coordinator and others to allow easy contact

- Agendas are customized for each particular participant and share one meeting agenda. Agendas are created for each meeting with common information and participants are “joined” or “linked”
to a specific meeting agenda.
