For most event organizers, one number that truly matters is the number of attendees at the event. The most important metric for the success of any event is the number of people in attendance. As an event manager, your joy must be through the roof as registration numbers climb, but when they don’t go as planned, panic sets in.
All event managers, regardless of their experience in work, will admit that planning an academic conference from start to finish is a herculean task. And rightfully, the process can feel overwhelming for all those involved. In such scenarios, it’s easier to make mistakes. More often than not, these mistakes are simple yet overlooked.
You’ve secured world-class speakers, best in the industry. The agenda is packed with variety and depth. The logistics are planned almost flawlessly. All set for the big day, yet the registration desk isn’t nearly as excited, sparse participation has dampened the mood.
Non-profit organisations, regardless of their scope and area of work, find themselves battling the same challenge: raising adequate funds. The challenge of fundraising gets more complicated as NGOs attempt to generate revenue in a manner that’s sustainable and true to their ultimate mission.
Sustainable practices, as defined by the UN back in 1987, may be referred to as ‘meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.’ 24 years into the 21st century, global governments and world leaders have increasingly come to realise the pressing need to make our planet more sustainable to live in in the future.
It’s no secret that an academic event planner’s to-do list is ever-growing. Abstract management happens to be one of the many critical aspects of an academic or scientific event. Having access to a reliable abstract management system simplifies collecting, organizing and reviewing abstracts for these events and ensures their success and credibility.
Speaking of abstract management systems, let’s help you get acquainted with Dryfta, our abstract management automation platform.

Networking in a digital age comes with many benefits. But perhaps the most noteworthy of it all is that attendees no longer have to sit through awkward small talk or fight their anxiety to talk to a stranger.
Peer review is the backbone of academic research, but it’s far from perfect. Even the most conscientious reviewers carry subconscious biases that can influence evaluations. Established researchers or prestigious institutions often receive the benefit of the doubt, while early-career academics struggle to get fair consideration.

Online event management software first began to emerge in the 1990s, enabled by the rise of the internet. Three decades later, in 2025, event management looks radically different. Organizing events and conferences has evolved in ways once considered futuristic. The pioneers who conceptualized and believed in online event management would regard the path we have trodden today in online softwares as entirely achievable. However, the rest would have deemed it almost utopian.
Academic conferences, held over the century in varying formats and agendas are what have carried forward our old wisdom and continue to encourage scientific inquiry to this day. For decades, its researchers across continents and disciplines who gathered together shared their discoveries and scrutinized the ideas of their peers. The fruit of which the ordinary person enjoys today: an understanding of the world in front of us.
The past year has been an incredible mix of learning and exploration for the team at Dryfta. From our extensive work over the past months in 2025, particularly in the event organization and conference organization spaces, we’ve discovered plenty. Out of this, it’s running hybrid conferences that both challenge and upscale our capabilities this year. But with the help of state-of-the-art software like Dryfta, managing a hybrid conference has never been more exciting.
Not too long ago, event organizers and conference managers could only dream of putting a conference agenda together in days left alone minutes. However, with the time and the contrivance of semi-automated and automated software tools for event planning, the industry has zoomed past the curve. Today’s smart event planners know and acknowledge the fact that is a better way: one that takes minutes instead of months and produces professional results that would make even the most seasoned organizer proud.
