Case study
Building a stronger community at Laracon AU
In 2024, SixSides helped turn Laracon AU from a single event into a launchpad for lasting relationships. Attendees connected more easily, shared more freely, and stayed engaged long after the final talk.
Powering connection at scale
At Laracon AU, SixSides showed how technology can turn a one-off event into a thriving, lasting community. By bringing together all six key groups - Laravel enthusiasts, organisers, sponsors, speakers, attendees and staff - the platform fostered deeper, more meaningful connections that extended far beyond the conference. Interactive features like the "Tag, You're It" networking game and content sharing tools helped break down social barriers, making it easier for everyone to participate - especially those who don't naturally gravitate toward networking.
The results were powerful: 385 attendees created over 7,800 connections, shared more than 1,400 photos, and 95 attendees rated their experience 5 stars. But the real impact was in the relationships that continued after the event, strengthening the Laravel community in Australia. That's the core of what SixSides delivers - not just seamless event logistics, but long-term community growth that endures well beyond the closing keynote.
