Information system with mobile application for managing social events

Optimizing the management of social events such as concerts, film screenings, lectures, and others represents a key challenge for many organizers. Specialized systems focused on event planning are an indispensable tool that facilitates event management, management of visitors to these events, and communication with them. With the growing demand for accessible and efficient event management solutions, there are also demands for the generality of these systems, so that they cover a wide spectrum of event types, but also meet the specific requirements of each. This work focuses on the development of a web application for managing and organizing social events and a customer mobile application for cinema visitors. The mobile application serves as a case study and demonstration of the use of the event management system. First, an analysis of current market solutions is carried out, combining practical testing, researching available information about various tools, and interviews with cinema and cultural center operators. The output of the analysis are the requirements, on the basis of which a system is designed that combines efficiency of the web interface for event management with simplicity of the mobile application for end customers of the cinema. Both applications are then implemented and manually tested. The web application uses the React meta-framework Refine for the front-end solution. The mobile application is implemented using the React Native framework and the Expo platform, allowing the application to be published on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store easily. Both applications share the same back-end, which is implemented using the Node.js framework NestJS-Query. The database is managed through Database as a Service solution Supabase, which is built on top of PostgreSQL and also provides user authentication and file management.
