Event Schedule Builder: Create a Conference Agenda Fast

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.

Best Practices for Abstract Revision Management System

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.

Introducing Multi-Currency Ticketing for Global Events

For event organizers, one of the biggest challenges in hosting international events is managing payments across different currencies. Participants want to pay in their local currency, while organizers need accuracy and consistency in the backend. Until now, many organizers had to juggle multiple systems or restrict attendees to a single currency, creating friction and frustration.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce Multi-Currency Ticketing on Dryfta. With this powerful update, you can now collect payments in more than one currency directly through your event website without additional tools or complicated workarounds.

With Dryfta’s abstract submission platform, however, you can create a fully online, customizable abstract submission form that adapts to your event’s unique requirements.

Abstract Management Systems vs Manual Submissions: A Side-by-Side Comparison

The advent of digital software has brought with it some certainly remarkable possibilities for mankind. This is especially true for organizers of scientific conferences and academic events who previously drowned in a sea of disordered abstract submissions on their inboxes. Some submissions come in as word docs while others come in as PDFs, most functional but some out of order. The choice of formatting that researchers take also warrants mild interest. Perhaps, one could work on an entirely new research paper about the human propensity for researchers to forget to include their contact information on their papers.
