Untethered Website
Positioning the Untethered event website as a showcase for the future of virtual event technology is no easy task, and while much of the session topics focused on how to engage virtual audiences, the event website was also designed to be and exciting and engaging experience as well.

Information hierarchy is key to a streamlined and engaging user experience.

The Untethered event includes live streaming sessions, on-demand content, and webinars—as well as a library of previous years’ content, speakers, and partners. This wealth of information needs to not only be well-organized but also easy to explore. Creating a homepage section with tabs highlighting content for all these groups allowed users to easily find top sessions and featured speakers while allowing the event to showcase the vast array of content Untethered includes. Sessions included a grid and table view so users could browse as they desired. Hierarchy played a large role in the cards for each session to give users all the information they needed at a glance. Considerations included needing to communicate the when and the why of each session while also highlighting top partners and featured speakers. With an emphasis on an ongoing content library, the Untethered website function not only as an annual virtual event but serve as a valuable resource for the events industry.

Highlighting featured talks and speakers allowed for quick access of key content, while a fully searchable and filterable library allowed users to drill-down for more specific content.

While the brand colors are bold and bright, we still ensured accessibility requirements were upheld in the website design.
