How to Submit Abstracts using an Abstract Management Software

One of the reasons Dryfta event platform is used by universities, non-profits and corporate is the platform’s ability to collect abstract and paper submissions and assign them to reviewers, apart from other features that it is capable of.

This blog post quickly explains how authors can submit abstracts and manage submitted abstracts.

To access the abstract submission site, one needs to log in using email and password. To access the abstract submission site if one doesn’t have login credentials, author has to create an account first. After creating an account, go to the abstract submissions login page, and enter the login credentials (email and password) to log in to the abstract system.

Once logged-in, go to My Abstracts page and click on Submit Abstract button to submit an abstract or paper. To edit an existing abstract, click on the name of the abstract which you want to edit.

Authors can revise abstracts up until the last date for abstract submission. After that, authors can view abstracts but they cannot make changes. Admin has the option to open abstract editing after submission date for those abstracts which have been accepted.

Why is Dryfta priced so low?

We regularly come across event planners asking this question about how Dryfta has so many features yet it is priced so low! Also, due to the fact that the average pricing of other event platforms, with a lot less features than Dryfta, is much higher, some event planners even find it too good to be true!

First and foremost, our primary mission was and will always be to help event planners engage attendees and produce new knowledge. To make it easy for them to do just that, we have made our event platform affordable. You ask how pricing Dryfta event platform low makes it easier for event planners to focus on attendee engagement?

Well, by not investing a large amount of money on an event platform, they are able to shift their focus from saving money, to engaging attendees and producing new knowledge. That’s how.

If our platform is priced so low, then how do we stay profitable? Well, thanks to our loyal bunch of returning customers and a steady flow of new customers, we are quite profitable and financially healthy and are able to maintain an all-round team of developers and designers who keep churning out new features, and a team of support staff for round the clock support.
