๐ŸŽค Event Hub: Tech Conference Discovery Platform Built with Sanity CMS

# Event Hub - Sanity Challenge 2026 I built a modern tech event discovery platform using Sanity CMS and Next.js to showcase real-world CMS capabilities and structured content design. What It Does ๐ŸŽค Event Management - Browse tech conferences, workshops, and talks worldwide ๐ŸŽค Speaker Profiles - Discover world-class speakers and their talks โญ Community Reviews - Read and share feedback on eventsโ€ฆ

Sanity CMS was used to build a modern tech event discovery platform called Event Hub. The platform allows users to browse tech conferences, workshops, and talks from around the world. It also provides speaker profiles, community reviews, and smart filtering options based on categories, date, and rating.

The technology stack for this project includes Sanity CMS as the headless backend, Next.js 14 and React 18 for the frontend, and TypeScript for type-safe code. Tailwind CSS was used for styling, and the application was deployed on Vercel and Sanity Cloud.

The schema design showcases structured content with meaningful relationships between events, speakers, reviews, and categories. Some key relationships include:

- Event โ†’ Speakers (one-to-many)

- Event โ†’ Reviews (one-to-many)

- Event โ†’ Category (many-to-one)

- Speaker โ†’ Events (many-to-many)

The live demo of the application is available at https://event-hub-sanity.vercel.app, and the GitHub repository can be found at https://github.com/panjitengkorak/event-hub-sanity. The Sanity Studio can be accessed at https://manage.sanity.io/project/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/dataset/production.

The project showcases the following key features:

- Full-stack TypeScript application

- GROQ queries for efficient data fetching

- Responsive design (mobile-first)

- Real-world CMS schema with relationships

- Production-ready deployment

Sanity CMS was utilized for this project, demonstrating that it is not only suitable for blogs but also for complex, relational content in real-world applications. This project was part of the Built for Sanity Challenge 2026, which had a deadline of October 4.

Common Next.js Mistakes Beginners Make (and How to Avoid Them)

1. Using "use client" Everywhere One common mistake beginners make in Next.js is adding "use client" to almost every component.

  • Utilize next/image for image optimization in Next.js projects.
  • Break down components into smaller, reusable sections for better maintainability.
