If you host plenty of sessions at your conference, scheduling them must have been no easy task! There’re just so many variables to deal with. Venues, Speakers, Moderators, Presentations, Tracks, Days, Time slots. Multiply that with 10s and 100s of Sessions and you have thousands of probabilities to think about.
For many conferences, offering participation certificates to attendees is a vital part of the experience. These certificates not only serve as proof of attendance but also as a token of appreciation for the delegates’ time and effort. Dryfta’s Certificate Builder tool has been helping organizers generate and print certificates with ease, even allowing attendees to access and print their certificates through a self-service dashboard.
However, there was still a gap in the process: organizers were responsible for distributing the certificates, often requiring additional manpower, time, and resources. Attendees, on the other hand, had to navigate to the self-service dashboard to manually download and print their certificates—a step that added unnecessary friction to the process.
Recognizing this challenge, the team at Dryfta set out to create a more streamlined, efficient solution. We asked ourselves: How can we make certificate distribution even easier for both organizers and attendees? The answer lay in removing unnecessary steps and delivering the certificates directly to attendees’ inboxes.
To achieve this, we introduced the “Send Certificates” button—a simple, powerful feature that enables organizers to email certificates directly to selected groups, such as attendees, speakers, or reviewers. With just a click, certificates are sent to the recipients’ inboxes, eliminating the need for manual distribution or extra steps.
The process is simple and intuitive:
The “Send Certificates” button isn’t just a convenience—it’s a game-changer for event organizers and participants alike. Here’s why:
This enhancement was not only logical but essential. It aligns with Dryfta’s commitment to creating intuitive, user-friendly solutions that reduce workload and enhance the attendee experience. By addressing this need, we’ve streamlined an important aspect of post-event communication, making life easier for organizers while delivering added value to attendees.
Whether you’re planning a small academic seminar or a large-scale conference, Dryfta’s “Send Certificates” feature ensures that participation certificates are delivered effortlessly—no extra steps, no wasted resources.

☑ Enable Open Discussion for Reviewers
In our last update, we added a discussion section for reviewers to discuss about an abstract before accepting/rejecting it. We have provided this a setting under Open Review settings to enable Discussions for assigned abstracts.
Under each assigned abstract, there is now an Open Discussion button. Reviewer would click on it to open the discussion room for the abstract and post comments and upload files along with the Reply button to reply to comments from other reviewers assigned to the abstract.
In the backend, under the abstract detail view, we have provided a discussion tab to display the comments posted by reviewers. There is a Reply button besides each comment to allow admins to reply to comments from within the backend.
