How to Set Up a Webinar in Dryfta?
Dryfta makes it easy to create webinars, online training sessions, and even in person workshops from the same workflow. This guide walks you through the full process, from creating the session to customizing the registration form and managing attendees.
Enable Smarter Peer Review with AI Reviewers
Peer review is one of the most important parts of running a conference, symposium, or call for papers. It is also one of the most time consuming.
Program committees often spend days assigning submissions, balancing reviewer workloads, checking topic fit, and trying to maintain consistency across thousands of abstracts.
How to Add Digital Signature Fields to Event Forms
Collecting signatures at events has traditionally been slow, manual, and prone to errors. Paper forms get misplaced. Approvals get delayed. Compliance becomes harder than it should be.
Digital signature fields solve this. They allow organizers to collect legally binding signatures directly within online forms, speeding up workflows while maintaining a clear audit trail.

How Gates Institute Uses Dryfta to Run a Large Scale Global Research Conference – Case Study
ICFP 2025 is a research conference (with over 3700 attendees) from Johns Hopkins University, co-hosted by Gates Institute, that uses Dryfta event platform. SBCC Summit 2022/26 and IMNHC 2023/26 are the two other similar conferences co-organized by JHU and hosted on Dryfta.
Running a major research conference is never just about opening registrations and publishing a program. It is about managing thousands of submissions, coordinating reviewers, processing payments, supporting international delegates, building a schedule people can actually use, and giving every attendee a seamless experience from abstract submission to check-in to participation certificate delivery.

Turning Research Submissions into Publication With Dryfta Abstract Book Builder
Every conference organizer knows the feeling that when the final list of accepted abstracts is ready, another mountain of work begins. Hundreds of submissions need to be formatted, proofed, categorized by session, indexed by author, and compiled into one clean, readable file for attendees and the public. Traditionally, this process has been exhausting. Copy-pasting from spreadsheets, juggling inconsistent file formats, and checking citation orders could take days.
Introducing Multi-Currency Ticketing for Global Events
For event organizers, one of the biggest challenges in hosting international events is managing payments across different currencies. Participants want to pay in their local currency, while organizers need accuracy and consistency in the backend. Until now, many organizers had to juggle multiple systems or restrict attendees to a single currency, creating friction and frustration.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce Multi-Currency Ticketing on Dryfta. With this powerful update, you can now collect payments in more than one currency directly through your event website without additional tools or complicated workarounds.
How to Create an Online Abstract Submission Form (Step-by-Step)
Collecting abstracts and papers is often the first big milestone in organizing an academic conference. Done manually, it can quickly turn chaotic. With Dryfta’s abstract submission platform, however, you can create a fully online, customizable abstract submission form that adapts to your event’s unique requirements.
