Here’s what our customers have to say
We believe that listening to our customers and incorporating their feedback into our platform is key to our success.
“We didn’t have a large budget but greatly needed a conference management software that would help us manage our speakers, abstracts, sponsors, ticket sales, website and mobile app in one place. I didn’t think it would be possible to find all of these features in one solution. That is until we found Dryfta!”
Brianna Smith, Executive Conference Director, University of Missouri-Saint Louis
“Dryfta offers tons of great features and it takes a little time to explore everything. Invest the time and really check it out—the results are worth it in time and cost savings. I researched countless platforms for event registration and abstract management, and couldn’t find anything else this robust at this price point.”
Tamye Riggs, Executive Director, Association Typographique Internationale
“I love the fact that Dryfta is well suited for using for conferences, and that academics conferences fit into this just as well as commercial ones. The straightforward flow from start to finish – including easy integration of payments – is a big, big plus.”
Ian Giles, Resident Assistant, The University of Edinburgh
“Dryfta is comprehensive enough to easily run a large academic conference. It is easy to set up a beautiful front facing website, establish a budget, track expenses, manage abstracts in a multiple review format, set pricing and discounts, easily manage sponsors and exhibitors, track income, set up an event schedule and program. This software does it all and in one spot!”
Pamela Wilkinson, Director of Conferences, International System Safety Conference
“We have a large academic conference every year which gets bigger and bigger. It can no longer be handled by a few people, so this system was a godsend, since disparate tasks can be split and accomplished together in the same system. Specifically designed for academic conferences, including judging, there are no other products that do all of the things that this system does.”
Tammy Crosby, Executive Assistant, University of Maine
“One stop shop for everything you need. There is a good balance between control over individual things (emails, website, etc) w/o overwhelming complexity. Based on our needs, Dryfta was orders of magnitudes better than the other solutions I shopped. Having been a customer for almost a year, I am convinced daily of what a great product this is. You should give them a try.”
