What is Dryfta?
Dryfta began as an event management platform designed to serve the needs of academia and nonprofits. Over the years, we worked closely with universities, research institutions, and organizations to refine our tools, ensuring they met the unique challenges of academic and professional events.
But as we grew, we saw a recurring issue among our enterprise clients. Many needed more than a standard event management platform. They required full control over their event infrastructure, data security, and the ability to customize features specific to their workflows. A SaaS model gave them access to pre-built tools, but it did not allow them to adapt the platform to fit their internal processes.
That is why we repositioned Dryfta as an on-premise, fully managed event platform for enterprises. Now, organizations can host Dryfta on their private cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), and commission custom-built features designed exclusively for their needs. This shift gives enterprises the flexibility to own their data, meet internal security policies, and tailor workflows without the limitations of a shared SaaS environment.
Our vision
We believe that enterprises should not have to choose between security and flexibility. Events are a core part of an organization’s identity, and the tools used to manage them should fit seamlessly into existing systems. Our goal is to give organizations full control over their event platform while providing dedicated support and continuous innovation.
With this approach, enterprises are no longer restricted by the limitations of standard event software. They can integrate Dryfta with internal tools, develop new workflows, and scale their event management without being tied to predefined templates or vendor-imposed rules.
Clients we work with
Why enterprises choose Dryfta?
Many event platforms offer pre-set workflows and shared hosting environments, leaving little room for customization. Dryfta takes a different approach.
On-Premise Hosting – Organizations can host Dryfta on their preferred infrastructure, ensuring compliance with internal IT and data residency policies.
Custom Feature Development – Enterprises can commission unique workflows and tailor Dryfta’s functionality to match their internal processes.
Data Ownership & Security – Events often handle sensitive information, and Dryfta ensures that data remains within the organization’s control. No third-party sharing, no external storage, full compliance with industry regulations.
Seamless Integration – Dryfta connects with existing CRM, and authentication systems, reducing friction between teams and departments.
By providing a dedicated, private cloud instance, Dryfta removes the constraints of traditional SaaS while maintaining the ease of an all-in-one event platform.
A robust business continuity plan
Dryfta is designed for long-term stability. Unlike SaaS-based platforms that operate on shared environments, Dryfta ensures that clients always have access to their platform, their data, and the ability to build upon their existing workflows.
For organizations managing large-scale, recurring events, business continuity is critical. That is why Dryfta offers:
Source Code Escrow for Enterprise Clients – For organizations managing 250+ events per year, Dryfta provides an escrow option, ensuring access to the software in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Fully Managed Support – Enterprise clients receive priority support, including onboarding, system monitoring, and feature development tailored to their needs.
This approach ensures that enterprises are not dependent on a vendor’s roadmap—they can evolve their event management systems at their own pace.
Support & training
Our commitment does not end with deployment. Dryfta offers 24/7 support through multiple channels, ensuring that clients receive assistance when they need it.
Dedicated Support Desk – Response times of 4 hours for standard requests and 2 hours for urgent tickets.
Live Chat Assistance – Available five days a week for real-time issue resolution.
Comprehensive Knowledge Base – Detailed guides, FAQs, and documentation to help teams navigate the platform efficiently.
Training Sessions – Two free one-hour training sessions are included with every contract, with additional training available upon request.
For enterprises with complex event structures, Dryfta provides ongoing support to ensure that teams can fully leverage the platform’s capabilities.
What is with the name?
Choosing a name for our platform was no accident. Conferences are built around discussion and the exchange of ideas. In every event, people debate, learn, and uncover new insights.
We wanted a name that reflected this core activity. The word “discuss” stood out, as it captures the essence of what events aim to achieve. To add depth, we chose Swedish as the language to represent the Nobel Prize, a symbol of the highest recognition in academic and research achievements.
And so, Dryfta (pronounced Dree-f-ta) was born—the Swedish word for “discuss.”
