## Description

The virtual-event-starter-kit is an event management platform and web application starter kit designed to build customized online conferences and virtual events. It provides foundational capabilities for publishing event schedules, displaying speaker profiles, and launching complete event websites with file-based routing and headless content fetching. 

The platform supports live video broadcasting across multiple tracks, multi-source video streaming, and external video platform embeds with adjustable video layouts. For attendee engagement, the software incorporates user registration and authentication via third-party providers, unique ticket generation, and role-based access control for moderators, speakers, and viewers within virtual conferencing rooms. 

Additional features include persistent session state management through external database connections, and dedicated sponsor expo booths and networking areas.
