Rejection is one of the most uncomfortable parts of life. Nobody enjoys the feeling of knowing they were not good enough for something. Particularly for abstract submitters and research scholars who have previously had their work rejected, this is a pain that hits close to home.
There is something truly endearing about designing, printing and then handing out physical copies of your event schedule to your attendees. However, on the flipside, what is not so appealing is the fact that you have to reprint and rework these physical event schedules as the team either updates logistics or accounts for last-minute changes.
Large-scale event management has always been a demanding undertaking. However, what transpired at the recent India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi on February 16, 2026, is a particularly public and pointed reminder of just how demanding it truly is.
Event professionals in 2026 are hoping to organize events that not only pull in crowds but also keep them engaged throughout. Event managers are realizing that events and conferences wherein attendees conveniently zone out or never pay attention in the first place are only superficial. In a way, such events invalidate the larger efforts of everyone involved, including you, your team, your speakers and even your technical staff.
Academic conferences remain the primary way researchers share their work and connect with colleagues who are asking similar questions. The energy in those rooms is real and researchers get inspired by conversations that reveal new directions for their work.
The art of using abstract management systems is knowing what your audiences want. An even more complicated and yet entirely possible task is to determine how many attendees will show up for your event. Yes, the figure is approximate but not speculative. It helps you prepare for your event.
When I ask you to think of innovation in higher education, chances are, you are visualising large university classrooms and laboratories, and fairly so. These are the places where most present-day researchers and experienced professionals began their journey. This is where ideas sprout and innovation begins.
Abstract management is one of those tasks that appears simpler than it is in practice. The closer one gets to the field, the tougher the process seems. This may be true of perhaps a lot of fields. But abstract management is particularly prone to this kind of underestimation.
Conference organizers across the globe share a common headache. The process of managing academic abstracts manually has transformed into an overwhelming burden that drains resources and threatens event quality. Every year, thousands of research conferences struggle with the same problem that refuses to go away.
Events that are conducted exclusively online were a far-fetched possibility for most event management organizations prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Particularly for event professionals in regions where the larger industry still remains growing and emerging, taking the plunge meant risk. However, a global lockdown left the event management sector, like most other industries, with no other choice for the months to come.
Badges. You have likely seen one of these at a conference you’ve attended before. Chances are also that you may have worn one at an event. Albeit unaware of what an event badge is or how its details are put together so effortlessly and for such a large gathering of people.
Abstract management, a broad term that roughly refers to all the tasks that are involved in the organization of abstracts, is not similarly straightforward and linear. When managing abstracts for conferences and for symposia, event planners have to account for the collecting, segregating, allocating, reviewing and subsequent matching and publishing of these abstracts. That sounds like too much for the ordinary task manager to do all by themselves.
