TEDxCrotone is the first edition of the TED format in Crotone, held on March 8, 2026 at the Museo Giardini di Pitagora. Officina Kreativa is the event's technology partner and built the web platform that ran it behind the scenes: from attendee registration to QR-code check-in, from the program to managing speakers, team and partners.
The Challenge
TEDxCrotone was the first edition of the international TED format in the city. The organization needed a site that did much more than just 'show information': it had to handle attendee registrations, check entries at the museum on event day, and let the organizing team update the program, speakers and partners without relying on a developer every time. Time to build was short, the need was clear: one tool where everything lived together.
The Solution
We built a web platform dedicated to TEDxCrotone where three sides of the project live in a single product. The public website shows the event program, speakers, team, partners, photo gallery and contacts. The registration system lets attendees sign up online: they receive a confirmation with a unique QR code, and at the museum entrance the staff scans it from their phone to validate access. No paper lists, no confusion on event day. The TEDx team's panel handles updating the program, speakers, partners and exporting the attendee list to Excel for check-in. The organization runs the event without going through whoever wrote the code each time.
The Result
The first edition of TEDxCrotone took place on March 8, 2026 at the Museo Giardini di Pitagora. The platform handled guest registrations from launch through event-day check-in, and continues to live today as the event's archive and the foundation for future editions.
