EventsAir integration

Your event website should update itself.

We built a custom WordPress plugin that connects EventsAir to Elementor, so when your program changes, your website follows. No manual updates. No copy-pasting. No version drift.

The problem

Your event platform and your website shouldn't live in separate worlds

Every time a session moves, a speaker is confirmed, or your program changes in EventsAir, someone has to update the website too. That's a manual process, and it shows: outdated bios, wrong session times, program pages that lag behind the live schedule. For event agencies and in-house teams managing multiple events, this adds up fast. It pulls your people away from the event itself and onto a task a computer should be handling.

Under the hood

What's included

01Data stored in post meta, works with any Elementor widget: Sessions, speakers, and presentations are synced from EventsAir and stored as WordPress custom post types with post meta fields. Because the data lives in post meta, it works with any Elementor widget that supports custom fields, Loop Grid, Dynamic Tags, Posts widget, you name it. Your team isn't locked into a specific set of widgets. They use the tools they already know, with live event data flowing through them.
02Automatic sync, daily, or on demand: The plugin syncs with EventsAir on a daily schedule, or you can trigger it manually whenever you need it. When your program changes in EventsAir, your website updates without anyone lifting a finger.
03Build pages your way, no constraint: Since the data is stored in post meta, your designers and content managers have full flexibility in Elementor. Style sessions with a Loop Grid. Pull speaker bios into a dynamic bio block. Display presentation details inline. Any widget that supports dynamic content or custom fields can connect to your EventsAir data, the integration gets out of the way and lets Elementor do what it does best.
04Clean, structured data, built the WordPress way: Event content is stored as proper WordPress custom post types. This means faster pages, better SEO structure, and data that behaves reliably across your site.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chris and Ben from Little Dash, and their responsiveness and clear communication have been outstanding. They consistently reply promptly, keep me updated on progress, and ensure any questions or concerns are addressed quickly. Their ability to explain technical details in a straightforward way makes collaboration smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a team that values transparency and timely communication, I highly recommend Little Dash!

The process

Scoped to your setup

Every EventsAir integration is a little different, your data structure, your site's design, your team's workflow. We start with a conversation, scope what's needed, and build something that fits properly.

01Discovery call: We talk through your EventsAir setup, your WordPress site, and what you need the integration to do. No technical preparation required on your side.
02Scoping and proposal:: We come back with a clear scope, what we'll build, how long it'll take, and what it costs. No surprises.
03Build, test, and handover:: We configure the plugin, style the widgets, test everything end-to-end, then hand over a system that runs itself.

FAQs

Common questions

Do we need a developer to manage the website after it's set up?

No. Once the plugin is configured and your Elementor templates are built, your team manages everything through Elementor's standard drag-and-drop interface. The sync runs automatically in the background. You'd only need us again if you wanted to change the structure of the integration or add new data fields.

What happens when EventsAir updates their API?

We build the integration with this in mind, and we monitor for changes. If an EventsAir API update affects how the plugin works, we'll handle the fix. Ongoing support and maintenance is available as part of a retainer if you want that peace of mind built in.

Can it handle multiple events at once?

The current version of the plugin is designed to sync one active event at a time. If you run multiple concurrent events, we can discuss what that looks like during the discovery call, it may be something we can scope as part of the build.

How long does it take to get up and running?

It depends on the complexity of your EventsAir data structure and how your Elementor templates are set up. We'll give you a clear timeline as part of the scoping process, typically a few weeks from sign-off to go-live, not months.
