An all-in-one conference system on atproto would be a very cool project. Something with Bluetooth beacons would be super fun, too. Attendees could enable the conference app to auto check-in to sessions. would be cool when you meet someone but their name and handle.

But this is also a space where more tooling could be great given atproto's aggregative shape.

Attendees just need to have the app and sign in with their Atmosphere account. Then the app can update their status on event records (RSVP'd vs actually attended), show them which of their moots are in the room, give them a screen at the end of the talk to download slides and follow the speaker...

Plus build in the YouAndMe functionality so it works whether you're using YAM directly, or Sifa, or just the conference app.

Those beacons scattered around the conference could help with storing location data so you could generate a map of your path thru the conf, and even see exactly where you scanned someone's code.

I imagine a lot of people would be opposed to storing that sort of hyperlocal data on protocol because it could be easily abused, but... ya know... if you used permissioned data... 👀
