Partnership with Catalaxia.pt — Rothbard 100
One event. Five languages. 2,000 seats. 68 days on the clock.
Rothbard 100 is the biggest libertarian event ever held in Portugal. Catalaxia.pt asked us for the digital infrastructure to make it real — and to scale it to 2,000 attendees on 27 June 2026, in Porto.
We shipped the full stack: landing page, registration funnel, Wiz Event CMS, email automations, and ads operation. One system, one screen, one team in control.
Why Rothbard, why now
Murray Rothbard (1926–1995) — economist, philosopher, historian — is known worldwide as Mr. Libertarian. 2026 marks the centenary of his birth.
Catalaxia, Portugal's leading libertarian think-tank, chose to mark the date with a conference bringing economists, legal scholars, and entrepreneurs under one roof. The challenge wasn't ideological — it was operational: how do you run a 2,000-person conference, in five languages, without a dedicated IT team?
Our answer: the full digital stack
🖥️ Landing Page
We built rothbard100.pt on Nuxt 4 + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS 4 + Nuxt UI v4. Bold visual identity: gold #FFC939 on black, high-impact typography, a dark aesthetic at Silicon Valley premium level.

- Speakers, programme, and topics sections
- 5 languages: PT · EN · DE · ES · FR

One flow, three states, zero friction:

📊 Wiz Event CMS — the backoffice
We shipped the Wiz Landing Page Events CMS — a backoffice built on the Wizardingcode platform. The Catalaxia team runs the entire event without touching a line of code.
What the team sees on login:

- Coverage across 3 markets: Portugal, Brazil, and Spanish-speaking markets
- Retargeting flows for landing-page visitors
- Social media with multi-platform hype-building
- Performance wired into the CMS dashboard — one source of truth
