EINSC is the flagship annual conference of the Emirates Society of Neurological Surgeons — now in its 10th edition. Stackborne has served as the long-term tech partner to Gulf Dunes across three continuous years: building the website, abstracts portal, analytics, SEO, and training the team to own it all independently.
Gulf Dunes run EINSC — one of the largest neurosurgical conferences in the GCC. Every year, the conference needs a professional digital presence, a working abstracts submission system, reliable hosting, and a team that can manage it all without constant external support. Stackborne was brought in as the tech partner to build that foundation and keep it running.
Designed and built the full conference website on WordPress — covering the programme, faculty, sponsors, venue, visa & travel, and registration. Copy written and structured to serve both international delegates and local attendees.
Built the abstracts submission system — allowing neurosurgeons and researchers across the GCC and internationally to submit their work directly through the site ahead of the conference deadline.
Set up Google Analytics for delegate and registration tracking. Implemented SEO across all pages. Developed marketing strategies to reach healthcare professionals across the Middle East and internationally.
Trained the Gulf Dunes team to manage and update the site independently — so the conference team can handle content, forms, and day-to-day site management without needing to call on external developers.
A medical conference of this scale needs more than a landing page. Every page of the EINSC site has a job — from first impression to registration, from abstract submission to venue logistics. Stackborne built and managed the full stack.
Built the full EINSC site on WordPress with Elementor — homepage, programme, faculty, sponsors, venue, visa & travel, and contact. All website copy written and structured by Stackborne.
Managed hosting and set up all conference forms — enquiries, registrations, and sponsor interest — ensuring reliable delivery and storage of every submission.
Built the dedicated portal allowing neurosurgeons and researchers to submit their abstracts directly through the site — with file uploads, category selection, and automated confirmation.
Updated and re-launched the site for each new conference year — new dates, new faculty, new programme structure — keeping EINSC current and professional year on year.
A conference website that can't be found by its intended audience is a missed opportunity. Stackborne set up Google Analytics from day one, implemented SEO across every page, and developed the marketing strategies to drive delegate registrations and industry partner interest.
Configured GA4 tracking across the full site — event tracking for registrations, abstract submissions, and key page interactions — giving the Gulf Dunes team real data on delegate behaviour.
Optimised every page for search — titles, meta descriptions, structured headings, image alt text, and page speed — targeting the healthcare professional audience across the GCC and beyond.
Developed digital marketing strategies for each conference cycle — covering outreach channels, content angles, and timing to maximise delegate registrations and abstract submissions ahead of key deadlines.
One of the clearest signs a tech partnership has worked is when the client no longer needs you for everything. The Gulf Dunes team now manages the EINSC site independently — updating content, handling form submissions, and preparing the site for each new conference year without needing to come back to Stackborne for every change.
Hands-on training covering WordPress and Elementor — page editing, content updates, media uploads, and form management. Delivered in a way the team could immediately apply without a technical background.
Clear written guides for recurring tasks — updating key dates, adding speakers, managing abstract submissions, and refreshing content for each new conference year.
As a retainer partner, Stackborne remains available for anything outside the team's scope — new feature builds, technical issues, or strategy advice — without the team needing to find or brief a new agency each time.
New feature development, technical troubleshooting, annual site updates, strategy reviews, and anything outside the scope of day-to-day management — all handled by Stackborne as the standing tech partner.
EINSC now has a professional digital presence that works year-round, a team that can manage it independently, and a tech partner that knows the conference inside out — without starting from scratch each year.
We build websites, content, and systems for small businesses — without the agency price tag.
