Immer

Designing event management to help venues efficiently review, approve, and oversee events

Overview

Designed Event Management Screen That Cut Approval Time by 30–40% and Boosted Organizer Confidence

Immer is a unified platform for managing live events from end to end—planning bookings, designing experiences, and tracking performance in one dashboard.

I was responsible for designing the Event Management screen, which enables venue managers to review, approve, or decline requests and oversee all booking operations with clarity and efficiency—reducing approval time by an estimated 30–40% and significantly improving organizer confidence.

Scattered Tools Buried Logistics and Delayed Approvals for Venue Staff and Organizers

Venue staff juggled event requests across emails, spreadsheets, and calendars, burying critical logistics, dragging out approvals, and leaving organizers uncertain about schedules, requirements, and statuses.

Analyzed leading event management platforms to identify key UX patterns and features that informed our design decisions.

Key Takeaways

  • Color‑Coded Calendar: Essential for quick status scanning (Skedda, Vendini).

  • Inline Decision Actions: Users expect immediate approve/deny within their workflow (VenueOps, Cvent).

  • Explicit Logging: Visible history of decisions builds transparency (Cvent, VenueOps).

I mapped the user flow and confirmed the process with the Product Manager before moving into wireframes and high‑fidelity prototyping.

DESIGN

Wireframes

Explored Layouts and Refined Core Interactions Through Annotated Wireframes

Explored Layouts and Refined Core Interactions Through Annotated Wireframes

Explored Layouts and Refined Core Interactions Through Annotated Wireframes

Low‑fidelity wireframe layouts established core feature placement and information hierarchy, setting the foundation for high‑fidelity designs.

Initial concepts

Created low‑fidelity screens—calendar and event‑details pages—to validate the placement of core features with project manager.

Annotated

Incorporated Project Manager's feedback (dark gray highlights) to add decision buttons, status filters, and organizer info to both screens.


  1. Location labels to avoid confusion across multi-city venues

  2. Calendar filters for quicker category sorting

  3. Equipment info for detailed scheduling

  4. Add-on request section to show all booked services

  5. Comments & notes for internal use or organizer updates

Iterations

Refined Calendar and Event Details for Faster Insights and Better Decision-Making

Calendar page

  1. Updated filter colors for better affordance: Refined status colors to enhance clarity and intuitiveness—orange (brand’s primary color) now signals “Approved” for quick recognition, gray indicates “Declined” with a subdued tone to imply finality, and green represents “Pending,” conveying a sense of progress and action awaiting resolution.

  1. Enhanced at‑a‑glance visibility: Color‑coded entries let users see booking status on the calendar without opening each event.

Event details page

  1. Multiple organizers: Replaced the single‑organizer label with a swipeable slider for events with multiple hosts.

  1. Expanded add‑on request to include vendors: Added a Vendors tab so users can request services like catering, AV, or décor alongside venue rental.

  1. Added audience statistics: Displayed expected attendance and basic demographics (e.g., age, gender, location) to give managers quick context and help them better anticipate event needs and crowd dynamics.
