Vision behind Symposia
Symposia was founded by Ian Duffy with a clear vision: to create a haven for artists, providing a trusted space where they could receive productive feedback, connect with like-minded individuals, and explore new perspectives on their work.
Duffy recognised the challenges artists faced in finding genuine connections and advice. With Symposia, the goal was to foster a professional community that encourages growth and authentic relationships.
Development of an awesome platform!
The development phase of Symposia centred on creating a robust networking platform for artists. Our team engineered robust real-time chat functionalities, allowing users to connect based on regions and interests. We ensured user-controlled portfolio access and implemented AI-driven image moderation and user-reporting mechanisms.
Scalability was a core focus, accommodating a growing community while maintaining performance excellence. Our dedication to a technically sound platform ensured a secure, engaging, and artist- centric environment.
