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.

Every conference organizer knows the feeling that when the final list of accepted abstracts is ready, another mountain of work begins. Hundreds of submissions need to be formatted, proofed, categorized by session, indexed by author, and compiled into one clean, readable file for attendees and the public. Traditionally, this process has been exhausting. Copy-pasting from spreadsheets, juggling inconsistent file formats, and checking citation orders could take days.
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.
Organizing a medical or research conference is no small task. Coordinating speakers, managing registrations, arranging schedules, and handling logistics can quickly overwhelm organizers. As a result, there’s often little time left for what truly matters: the research itself. At the heart of any academic or scientific gathering lies the abstract submission and review process, the moment when researchers share their findings and conference organizers curate the sessions that will define the event.
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.
Think back to attending a conference ten or fifteen years ago. You’d walk in with a printed agenda folded inside a badge holder, maybe a notebook in hand, and a stack of business cards you’d hope to hand out. If a session changed rooms at the last minute, you’d find yourself asking staff for directions or scrambling to find the updated notice on a corkboard.

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.
For organizers who breathe a sigh of relief after researchers have inputted their abstracts into the submission software, the next hurdle in the pipeline is managing revisions and resubmissions. While it may be cumbersome for organizers to sift through submissions and process any revisions, with the advent of automated abstract management systems, such as that of Dryfta, organizes a flexible and automated workflow that greatly simplifies such miscellaneous submission tasks. When handled properly, organizers can turn the revision tall order into an incredible opportunity for attendees to correct any mistakes and upscale their drafts, a process previously onerous and backbreaking.
