Context

About the Company

iAT.TOP

iAT.TOP is a Beijing-based agency primarily serving English-based overseas products. They’ve also expanded into their own projects, such as a drone remote (with secured funding) and an event platform app, which I was primarily involved in.

About the Product

iMark is an event platform focused on in-person events.

Our product, iMark, is a streamlined platform for in-person events, enabling users to attend and publish various events such as tech conferences, concerts, and academic seminars.

Requirements

We have a huge problem:

The event publishing rate with our product was 42% lower than the average.

After the iMark launch, the event publishing rate was significantly below the industry average, making it our top priority to address.

Target Users:

Our primary user focus is business users

There are two types of publishing users, and the primary user focus for this project is business organizers.

Problem No.1

The existing user flow was inappropriate user flow: it followed a step-by-step linear process, preventing publishers from jumping back and forth or preparing in advance.

There are 8 steps for the old user flow, including event name, time, address, etc. Users must complete each step before moving to the next.

Old Event Publishing Flows

Solutions

Proposal A:

"what you see is what you get” - the publishing interface match participants' interface

Pros and Cons:

It is more intuitive since publishers share the same view with attendees; And there's no extra preview needed because it's already a preview.

Publisher's View

Attendee's View

Proposal B:

A step-by-step process but allow users jump back and forth

Pros and Cons:

It requires a lower development cost than proposal A.

Decision Making:

We chose Proposal A as it better meets business publishers’ needs in the long run.

Problem No.3

Publishers need to change the content frequently because they are not the decision-makers

Users who publish events are often not the decision-makers. They frequently need to update and modify content...

Solutions

Preview Sharing:

To help decision makers track the event publishing process, I designed a preview-sharing feature that enables performers to share real-time progress.

Preview Sharing enables publishers to keep decision-makers updated on their progress.
