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.
One of the most important aspects of planning an event or a conference in its early stages is scheduling. For most events, it is the locking of an event schedule that allows room for other facets of the event management process. Such is the importance of placing your event sessions and activities at the right places and into the right pockets of time throughout the day.
Feedback collection has been part of post event wrap ups for a very long time. What used to rely on paper forms and manual collection has shifted to digital submissions, supported by event apps and audience response systems. Now, event planners have all the tech they need to collect feedback fast. The real question is whether they are actually getting useful insights out of it.
The events now thrive on mobile event apps. From news and schedules to networking and attendee experience, the mobile features make the experience more fulfilling. It helps the organizers work on the apps and have all the necessary information at their fingertips. The attendees can access all the necessary information and updates without having to log in to the website every time. This saves both time and energy for everyone. Continue reading
Networking used to be pretty straightforward. You’d show up to a business event, shake a few hands, swap business cards, and call it a day. But the way people connect has changed a lot since then. Now, there are quicker, more versatile ways to interact digitally and in person, both in physical and online environments. In many cases, even brief, informal meetings can result in new opportunities. Continue reading
Webinars have gained exponential popularity due to the rising demand for online learning. They are useful for educators, teachers, and instructors to realize the full potential of video content and reach a wider, more diverse student audience without any kind of geographical barriers. Hosting webinars in academic institutions is one of the best ways to engage students, faculty, and external participants remotely. They are one of the best and most effective ways for education and engagement.
Universities hold many events, from academic conferences and student workshops to orientation weeks, alumni reunions, guest lectures, and community outreach sessions. Managing all these events using spreadsheets and manual calendars becomes overwhelming. For this reason, top universities invest in event scheduling software that brings event planning into one place, automates repetitive tasks, and enables real-time interdepartmental communication.

Event agendas or the systematic way in which you accommodate all the sessions and activities you’ve planned for your event or conference is far more important than you think. If, thus far, you have been allocating events to the schedule based on singular reasons such as the speaker’s convenient time, you’re damaging the event’s potential.
These days, nearly all organizers are leaning into virtual and hybrid events to reach larger crowds and share their content while keeping audiences engaged. This strategy is logical. But as hybrid events become more frequent and packed with sessions, a new problem shows up: hybrid event fatigue.
The poster sessions play a major role in university academic events. They give students, faculty, and researchers the opportunity to exchange their ideas and share feedback. Digital technology has made the virtual poster sessions a viable option as compared to the traditional in-person poster session that might come with certain obstacles. However, both of the session formats have the potential to influence and engage students and audiences for learning purposes. Continue reading
Conference organizers who invite abstract submissions for their events know the struggle all too well. With submissions pouring in from across the globe, keeping a close watch on abstracts as they come in is close to impossible. Your team of professionals simply cannot manage to deal with hundreds of abstracts at the same time. They are prone to making errors and missing out on certain pitfalls.
Planning and hosting events has never been more exciting, or more complicated. Many organizers keep running into the same problems over and over. Some are thinking, “I honestly don’t know how to promote this properly and attract the right crowd.” Others are stuck switching between a bunch of tools that don’t integrate well together.
