DESCRIPTION:Event platforms already contain the information organizers repe
 atedly need to publish: speakers\, sessions\, schedules\, tracks\, and eve
 nt links. The problem is that this information often remains locked inside
  the event workflow\, while promotion happens separately across different 
 social platforms.\n\nAs part of GSoC 2026 with FOSSASIA\, I worked on exte
 nding Eventyay with a Social Media Plugin that connects these two workflow
 s. The plugin uses Eventyay’s existing event data to create and manage p
 romotional content\, while providing a provider-based architecture that ca
 n support different social platforms without coupling the core workflow to
  any single service.\n\nIn this lightning talk\, I’ll walk through the d
 esign decisions behind the plugin\, how event-specific data can drive soci
 al-media workflows\, and some of the challenges of building a new cross-cu
 tting feature inside an established open-source project.
