Usually, event management is the process of creating and managing an event in a project organization. In most cases, effective management is required to make an event public and productive. For this reason, an efficient tool of managing events through an online solution helps an organization to get better outreach and efficient management. The objective of the solution is to support organizations to have event management, tracking, and making the activities known to the general public. The application was intended for Bhutan Toilet Organization (BTO), a non-profitable organization located in Bhutan, which provides clean toilet facilities during public events organized. Currently, BTO is using a manual-based system in managing and facilitating the events and activities organized by them and their clubs who contribute to achieving the mission of BTO. By having the Web-based Event Management System (BTOEventView), it will let the authorized user create and update the activities or events and the users and public will be more alert and aware of the existence of the events or activities held under BTO. This project aimed to develop a website, which easily allows managing the event management process and eases the efforts of an event organizer and the clients. The user interface was implemented by using the MVC design pattern in the Ruby on Rails framework and developed applying collaborative technique which is pair-programming with three programmers. Moreover, to make the website mobile compatible Bootstrap framework was used. The application offers a platform to create events, view events, or manage the events based on privileges provided to users. User management was also created to manage the system users and web page contents.
