## What it is
An open-source Next.js starter kit for hosting virtual events and conferences, used to run Next.js Conf 2020 with ~40,000 attendees. It provides stages with live or pre-recorded video, sponsor expo booths, career fair networking, ticket registration, speaker pages, and schedules.

## Use cases
- host a virtual conference with multiple live stages
- build an online event site with ticket registration
- create a sponsor expo with virtual booths
- run a career fair for attendees to network and find jobs
- stream a conference with embedded YouTube or interactive audio-video
- customize a cloneable event platform for my own meetup

## When to choose
- you are organizing a virtual conference or online event and want a proven, customizable Next.js codebase
- you deploy on Vercel and want static generation plus API routes for reliability
- you need stages, schedules, speakers, tickets, and expo out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need a fully managed event platform without writing code
- your event is in-person only with no virtual component
- you are not using the Next.js/React ecosystem
