International Association of Applied Linguistics

“This 5-day MSA 2021 conference had nearly 1500 participants from all over the world. The program included 230 panels, roundtables and special sessions. We did not have a single technical glitch during the entire event.”
“Dryfta is a great piece of software. The flexibility for customization that it has built-in is really incredible compared to other platforms – SBCC SUMMIT 2022”
“We didn’t have a large budget but greatly needed a conference management software that would help us manage our speakers, abstracts, sponsors, ticket sales, website and mobile app in one place. I didn’t think it would be possible to find all of these features in one solution. That is until we found Dryfta!”
Brianna Smith, Executive Conference Director, University of Missouri-Saint Louis
“Dryfta offers tons of great features and it takes a little time to explore everything. Invest the time and really check it out—the results are worth it in time and cost savings. I researched countless platforms for event registration and abstract management, and couldn’t find anything else this robust at this price point.”
Tamye Riggs, Executive Director, Association Typographique Internationale
“I love the fact that Dryfta is well suited for using for conferences, and that academics conferences fit into this just as well as commercial ones. The straightforward flow from start to finish – including easy integration of payments – is a big, big plus.”
Ian Giles, Resident Assistant, The University of Edinburgh
“We have a large academic conference every year which gets bigger and bigger. It can no longer be handled by a few people, so this system was a godsend, since disparate tasks can be split and accomplished together in the same system. Specifically designed for academic conferences, including judging, there are no other products that do all of the things that this system does.”
Tammy Crosby, Executive Assistant, University of Maine
