Helsinki - iPhone/iPad Event App Design Concepts Challenge

Welcome to the Helsinki - iPhone/iPad Event App Design Concepts Challenge. In this challenge, we are looking to design an iPhone and iPad event application. We host various events, with various breakout sessions within, for which our clients can register and attend. We want to build an interactive experience for the clients attending the event sessions. Clients using the application would be considered VIP's, so we'd like the mobile experience to have a "premium" feel to it. 

At the end of this challenge, we are looking for a modern, clean design that captures the requested user interactions

Note: Helsinki is a codename for this project.

Round 1

Submit your initial screen for Checkpoint feedback
1) Registration (iPhone Portrait) = User Screen

Challenge Details
The purpose of this challenge is to create design concepts and ideas on how our future Helsinki iPhone/iPad "Event" application could look and work. 
 
Design Guidelines:
- Looking for modern, intuitive user interface - application should be easy to use.
- Focus on the design being a great mobile experience - the application should be designed for iPhone and iPad.
- Note: iPhone: All client facing screens should be for iPhone.
- Note: iPad: All host facing screens should be for iPad.
- Both the iphone and ipad experience should look similar and feel like they belong to the same application. 
- Give importance to the overall layout and think on how a user would interact with the content on the page.
- Show all the screens and provide a user flow/click-path so we can see how the interactions fit together in the application. 
- Logo: IF you have time - suggest a simple logo for the application (to accent your design)
- The primary color for the app and logo should be #00ADEE or near it. Different lighter or darker hues can be used as well to compliment.

Screen Sizes:
- Assume this is native iOS application
- User Screens: iPhone Portrait: 640 x 1136 px
- Host Screens:  iPad Landscape: 2048 x 1536 px

User Scenario:
John Doe, one of the marketing managers at a leading corporation decides to attend an event in New York. He visits the event website and learns about the iPhone app that allows him to register with the event. John downloads and install the app on his iPhone.

He browses through the app and sees a list of events along with their agendas. He selects the event that he wants to attend and quickly goes through their agendas - he taps on a button to register for the event by typing a few required profile details, as this is the first time john is using this app, it allows him to save his profile details within the app. He see a list of breakout sessions in the event, one of the session seems to interest him - so he selects and confirms to attend that session.

John checks-in on reaching the event venue at kiosk/terminal, after he checks-in - he immediately receives entire details about the event and sessions in his app!  John finds other clients near him on a map and also messages them. Before a session, John gets the presentation materials, quickly takes notes during a session and save it for future reference. Also he takes part in a polling during the session.

Whenever John arrives at certain areas throughout the event, iBeacons notifiy nearby hosts of his presence.  These hosts have access to an admin iPad interface that displays what John is registered for as well as his profile.  These hosts are able to find John easily and engage with him to see if they can be of any assistance.

Screens:
We are looking for design concepts on these screens.

A) iPhone Screens: User Experience Screens
For the below, we would like you design screens for iPhone..

1) Registration:
- Client should be able to register for an event and select the breakout sessions they want to attend.
- They will be able to select the break-out sessions they want to attend
- User should be able to save their profile in this app and pull the data when registering for an event
- User can create/edit their profile, and minimum details could include personal, professional details, we can allow the user to login through social networks like LinkedIn, Twitter - where can pull client interest from linkedin or allow the user to manually fill it out!

2) Check-in:
- At the event, the client can self check-in at the kiosk, or at host iPad.
- The check-in process can be initiated via iBeacon
- User Check in at kiosk/terminal.
- After the user checks in, following information can be shown to the client “Topics at events, Map of the event with the client’s current location, Location of booths, Location of meeting rooms, Session times”
- Note: please see point number (5) below to design a host admin iPad screen on how they recieve the notification about this client checking in!

3) Connect Journey:
- Clients will have the ability to connect with the hosts
- Connect with hosts (Send messages)
- Virtual community (this can based on check-in, location and sessions registered for)
- Users will be able to have group conversations and 1-1 communication
- All the users to build up their networks by “Share e-business cards, Linked-in Connect and Twitter”

* View Clients around me:
- User should be able to see who is nearby..

* Broadcasted Messges:
- Client receives messages from host, show us how this can be shown in your designs.
- Note: please see point number (6) below to design a host admin iPad screen on how a host admin can broadcast messges to all the clients..

4) In-session Journey:
In a breakout session, the clients should be able to interact among themselves or the host should be able to interact with the clients.

- Presentation materials pushed when entering a registered session (Based on vicinity to an iBeacon, appropriate content can be pushed to the client)
- Notes: Clients should be able to take notes during the session
* Email notes
* Save the notes

- Users can send moderated questions to the chairman: 
- Clients should be able to post questions to the host or the panel

- Note: please see point number (7) below to design a host admin iPad screen on how the Host admin manages the in-sessions polls and view their results.

B) iPad Screens: Host Experience Screens
For the below, we would like you design screens for iPad...

5) Check-in Notification:
- When a client checks in, host receives a notification about the exact location (based on iBeacon) of the client.
- Think on how we can handle this in your designs!

6) Broadcast Messages to Clients: 
- The Host of the event could make announcements to clients.
- Host should be able to broadcast message to all the clients or to a certain community
- Posted to virtual community (virtual communities could be based on check-in, location and sessions registered for)

7) Post In-session Polling:
* Post poll to audience: Host should be able to post polls to the audience
* Hosts should be able to view results for the polls..

- These users are especially important to Helsinki and we want to provide them with a luxury experience.  
- Location awareness and nearby hosts with communication capabilities will help facilitate this.
