Planning an event from A to Z is as multifaceted and minute as a task can get. One can never truly map out the process.

Artificial intelligence and its allied manifestations are almost everywhere today. AI is influencing multiple industries either directly or indirectly. If not already, it will be in no time. A few years ago, it was widely professed that the future was AI. Well, the future is here much sooner and it is now. Companies are now racing to take the most advantage of upcoming opportunities in AI. Universities and educational institutions are investing heavily in AI-driven programs. The big bucks are finding their way into AI startups more than any other sector today.
The event that you’ve invested all your time, capital and effort in has just gone live. Months of an event in the making is now live on your website. You’ve begun selling tickets and slots. You believe that perhaps the toughest part of the event management lifecycle is behind you. However, the registrations that come in do not correspond with the math you did earlier. You realize you will have to market your event vigorously, or all your months of effort will result in an unsuccessful event.
Conference organizers, particularly in peak submission seasons, know the drill all too well. Organizing entities and the overwhelming employees that work for them wake up every morning to dozens of abstract submissions flooding in as the deadline approaches. The rest of the day the team dreads all the more. Each of these abstracts needs personal attention and careful review as though they were a pupil in class. Reviewers then need to be assigned based on their expertise and every submission deserves fair evaluation.
Managing conference abstracts feels like conducting an orchestra. You are coordinating reviewers and tracking submissions while you maintain quality standards and keep everyone informed on a tight timeline. However, you might wonder how to determine if your process actually works.
Several things have changed, done and undone itself in the academic event management space over the years. As a matter of fact, the industry itself has changed in some fundamental ways. Thanks to the advent of technology such as Artificial Intelligence(AI) and data analytics, which have since taken the world by storm.

A scientific event in 2026 will either stand tall or fall short on the basis of a number of different factors. However, of utmost importance and central to the very ethos of science and research itself is the abstract review process. When one organizes a scientific event, the reviewers you select become an inextricable part of your academic standards.
Being an academic institution in 2026 is a lot like taking on the role of a lighthouse. You ought to shine bright enough for ships to find them. These metaphorical ships are your students, researchers, and funding bodies in the literal meaning. And especially so when you find yourself situated in a harbor dense with smog. It is easy to miss out on your academic institution with all the competition and noise around. But as an academic institution in 2026, you cannot just sit there rotating and hope for the best. You need to make waves, and academic events are just the right tools for you.
If you’re organizing an academic conference or research symposium in today’s world, which also happens to be the time when institutions are expected to have inclusivity all ‘figured out,’ you may be wondering if creating a truly welcoming event is even achievable at this point. Self-doubt and a fear of criticism are enough to force you to confront the reality of overhauling traditional event formats.
Marketing teams perpetually have their noses to the grindstone. They spend months planning a one-day event or conference. The team carries much more on their shoulders, so the effort of the other teams can bear the fruits of their labor. Collectively, event professionals scout venues, coordinate speakers, design materials and send reminder emails until their fingers cramp.
When you’ve spent months on planning and yet it does not add up to actual engagement on the day of the event, then all your efforts are for nothing. The venue is booked and being prepared to welcome your attendees very soon, your speakers have confirmed and are actively working on their keynote speech and even your registration numbers seem promising.
Organizing an academic event in 2026 virtually means that you have to make dozens of important decisions even before you begin to put the planning down on paper. The first and perhaps most challenging part of event management rests in planning. We’re talking about when an incredible idea for a potential academic event dawns on you in the middle of the shower. But when you do sit down to articulate your ideas, you find yourself challenged by structural and logistical questions.
