Website and systems
More than a website: a practical source of truth for the organization.
The CNIGA website was rebuilt into a polished, professional and functional platform that could support public information, member resources, legislative initiatives, industry updates and staff-managed content.
Staff-managed updates
CNIGA staff could update members, publish news, manage resources, share legislative initiatives and keep organizational content current without relying on a developer for every change.
Membership organization
The backend helped serve as a source of truth for CNIGA membership information and California Tribe-related data, connecting public communication with internal organization.
Conference and event support
Video coverage, event storytelling and a custom WIGC app experience.
BurkeMedia supported CNIGA’s major annual gatherings, including the Western Indian Gaming Conference, with event coverage and a custom app experience designed around attendees, sponsors and staff.
Personalized conference schedules
Attendees could browse seminars, events, speakers and conference details, then favorite the sessions and activities they cared about most.
Visible sponsor placement
Sponsor logos were placed in strategic locations throughout the app, keeping sponsors visible without disrupting the attendee experience.
One connected dashboard
The app synced with the customized website dashboard so CNIGA staff could manage updates from one source of truth instead of maintaining disconnected systems.
