The project

ECI Conference brings together professionals, researchers and families from across Europe to share knowledge and move early childhood intervention forward.

Behind those few days together lies a huge amount of information, decisions and digital journeys.

Our job was to organise it so that everyone can find their own profile.

A scroll through the eciconference2027.com home page from top to bottom: the night-time photo of Madrid with the slogan “Growing together: innovation, equity and community”, the welcome to the conference, six reasons to attend, the five themed tracks of the programme, the keynote talks, the history of previous editions, the fees and the call for abstracts, the venue at the Madrid College of Physicians, the FAQs and the contact form.

The challenge

Lots of information. Lots of profiles. One clear system.

An international conference starts long before its doors open. Registrations, fees, abstracts, talks, schedules, venues and practical information all have to come together. And they have to reach people with different profiles and needs, while the content keeps changing as the date gets closer.

The challenge was to help each person find and understand the information they need.

So we started by organising the content, setting hierarchies and creating clear paths.

The speakers page: the keynote carousel moves on and one speaker’s profile opens, with the title of their talk, their photo and their biography, which scrolls past before it closes.

Organising

From the general to the specific.

We reviewed the content, grouped needs together and built an architecture that moves from the general to the specific. Each page tries to meet one need first, then lead on to the next step.

Most of the work wasn’t adding. It was simplifying.

The five themed tracks of the programme on coloured cards. The first, “Families, participation and natural environments”, opens with its description; it closes and the third, “Quality, evidence and transdisciplinary practice”, opens.

Fee system

Before the price, a question: who are you?

At previous editions, many people couldn’t tell which ticket was theirs among so many combinations of profiles and conditions.

Rather than handing that complexity to people as one huge price table, we changed the logic. Starting from a first choice, the system guides each person through the options that apply to them, removes the ones that don’t and ends by showing the right fee.

Once someone knows which registration they need, the process continues on Weeztix to complete it.

The website’s fee selector: the professional profile is chosen, then a high-income country, and only the matching fees appear, with early registration at €380, standard registration at €440 and pre-conference workshops at €65.

A modular system

We designed the website to grow with the conference.

The website goes live before all the information is available. Speaker profiles, abstracts, content and the programme are added as they are confirmed.

So we created a modular system for adding and organising new content without redesigning the website every time.

The experience can evolve with the conference: supporting those who start planning months ahead and adapting to the needs of those looking things up during the event, always from the same foundation.

Abstracts are submitted and reviewed in Accesible Abstracts, the platform we built for the conference.

From the other side

“At AEIPI we are committed to accessibility, inclusion and the rights of children with developmental challenges and their families. Having the chance to work with Accesibilidad Primero has been the best way to stay true to our organisation’s code of ethics: it meant the information about the ECI 2027 conference in Madrid could reach anyone, whatever their circumstances, wherever they live and whatever language they speak, and it offered fair opportunities to take part, thanks to the resources and features Accesibilidad Primero gave us.”
