The abstract is one of the most important factors in academic conferences. It is where the ideas take shape, reviewers decide what belongs in the program, and where the identity of the event begins to form. Long before badges are printed or sessions are scheduled, abstracts define the intellectual quality of a conference. Continue reading
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.
Event-goers are still hungry for adventure in 2026. People are increasingly interested in joining events that offer fresh experiences, travel opportunities, and social interactions. These university events are typically great for delivering an experience that attendees can discuss long after the event ends.
A successful conference requires coordination and clarity. Every detail of the conference, from the registration and ticketing to attendee communication, scheduling updates and analytics play an important role in the outcome. When organizers use separate tools as opposed to using one centralized conference management solution, they create hidden risks that can affect the teams, the conference and the attendee experience. Continue reading
If you are still guessing engagement patterns, you are planning your next event with missing information.

Academic events have now moved beyond the concept of printed agendas and static timetables. Organizers deal with complex event lifecycles with diverse session types, parallel tracks and virtual participants. At the heart of the successful events lies a feature that is transforming how event planners work and how attendees experience events. This is the interactive event schedule feature.
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.
Managing abstract submissions has turned into a real operational workload for academic conferences, research summits, and corporate events, especially as submission volume rises and the review timeline shrinks. Abstract management systems exist for exactly this reason.
Imagine you walked into an event hoping to hear insightful details from the speakers, but sat through endless presentations with no interactions. You wouldn’t want your attendees to feel the same about the events you put together. And the most effective way to organize a high-quality event is to invite good speakers.Â
When experts gather for presentations, discussions, and networking, they typically choose between a symposium and a conference. Although they seem to be the same event on the surface, they have different formats based on their purposes and participants.
