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.
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.
Collecting abstracts and papers is often the first big milestone in organizing an academic conference. Done manually, it can quickly turn chaotic. 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.
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.
You’ve published your event, the schedule is live, tickets are selling; until someone tells you they can’t complete their payment. Few things frustrate attendees more than a failed checkout. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the most common payment failures in Dryfta and how to troubleshoot them using the built-in Payment Setup.
As events continue to evolve, so does Dryfta. Our latest round of updates is focused on giving you better ways to connect people, manage complexity, and stay organized without friction. Whether you’re coordinating speakers, handling payments, or helping attendees find the right people to talk to, these new tools are here to make your job easier.
Planning a booth in Barcelona, Frankfurt, Paris or Milan is exciting until you hit the visa page and your brain taps out. This guide keeps it practical: what to do, when to do it, and which papers consulates really look for. We’ve also included ready-to-use templates you can download in one bundle: cover letter, flight and hotel itineraries, day-by-day travel plan, and a home-office confirmation letter for founders who work from home.
Enterprises gain significant flexibility and control when they deploy an on-premise event management platform instead of relying on a shared SaaS solution. The differences are most visible in two areas: workflow customization and security configuration.
