Symphfolio: Weapons of Mass Distribution
How Symph built the WordPress event site for 500 Startups' Weapons of Mass Distribution conference from an event logo and a few graphics.

500 Startups is a celebrity in the tech community, as one of the world's leading global venture capital seed funds and startup accelerators. So when they emailed us asking for a website for their upcoming event, we geeked out a bit extra.
Nerds Unite
The mad scientists of 500 startups wanted an event site that would be dynamic and easy to change, so we built it on the wordpress cms.
Weapons of Mass Distribution is 500 startups' one-day annual conference. It brings together top growth geeks, data nerds and over 450 entrepreneurs to help startups reach their full potential.



The audience was people in the technology sector, so the website needed a design and user experience that got visitors to engage and convert, and we put our mad scientist minds to it.
We had the event logo and a few graphics to experiment with, and from those we cooked up a site with the right mix of mad, geek and genius.
We enjoyed building the site, and we always like helping the communities and events that support geeks get even better.
