Overview
The Gender Outlook Forum 2025 brings together government leaders, policymakers, civil society, industry players and gender advocates from across ASEAN to address key gender-related challenges and craft practical solutions. Set over two days, discussions will focus on gender mainstreaming, responsive budgeting, digital inclusion, climate resilience, economic empowerment and social protection.
Core to this event is multi-stakeholder collaboration—building lasting partnerships to embed gender equality in policies and institutions and to drive inclusive, long-term impact.
Key Features
- Abstract Submission: Speakers and researchers can submit abstracts through an online form for review.
- Stripe Payments: Secure ticket purchase and checkout with automated confirmation emails
- Delegation Portal: Self-service registration with QR passes, live hall capacity visibility and automated alerts for the operations team
Challenges
- Event-day traffic spikes: Implemented Redis caching/queues to keep check-ins fast under high concurrent loads.
- Live check-in analytics: Ensured the dashboard stayed accurate and real-time for hall capacity and attendance.
- Payment callback integrity: Hardened Stripe webhook handling so payment status updates were reliable (success/failed).
Technologies Used
- MySql: Database management system for storing event registrations, attendee information and managing summit schedules and content. Combined with Redis, it powered the real-time dashboards organisers used during the summit.
- Laravel: Developed and maintained the backend API infrastructure, handling user management, appointment scheduling, ticketing system and business logic implementation.
- Redis: High-performance caching and queue layer that absorbed event-day traffic spikes, kept check-in scans responsive and streamed reliable metrics to organisers in real time.
