Context

The Mubadala Human Capital Summit 2026, themed "Stronger Together", needed more than a landing page. It needed the full attendee lifecycle: an invitation that could be accepted or declined, a save-the-date, lunch choices, terms acceptance, the programme and the speakers, a place for attendees to sign in on the day, and a way to collect feedback afterwards. I built and delivered it alongside a separate piece of work for the same client relationship, a Schedule 4 data-security compliance plan, which shaped how carefully the attendee data was handled.

What I built

A branching RSVP flow

RSVP is not one form. It is a set of routes for each outcome: join, decline, save the date, lunch selection, terms acceptance and a confirmation state. An attendee who declines lands on a decline page, not a generic thank-you; an attendee who joins moves through lunch and terms to a confirmation that reflects their choices.

Programme and people

An agenda page and a speakers section with an individual page per speaker.

The day itself

A sign-in gate on the front door: Mubadala staff enter with their employee email, and external attendees are admitted with their company email after check-in at the service desk, which is exactly how the live site reads. Behind the gate, an attendee dashboard, the lunch menu, and a feedback form for after the event.

Decisions worth noting

Next step

Have a system like this to build, rescue or scale?

I run technology for several companies at the same time and take on a small number of fractional engagements. The first step is always a scoped audit.
