Every conference starts with an idea, and the quality of that idea depends on the abstracts of the program. Abstract submissions determine the relevance and credibility of the event. Opting for an abstract management system is arguably one of the most important decisions you are ever asked to make.
Abstract management is one of those tasks that appears simpler than it is in practice. The closer one gets to the field, the tougher the process seems. This may be true of perhaps a lot of fields. But abstract management is particularly prone to this kind of underestimation.
Conference organizers across the globe share a common headache. The process of managing academic abstracts manually has transformed into an overwhelming burden that drains resources and threatens event quality. Every year, thousands of research conferences struggle with the same problem that refuses to go away.
In academic and professional writings and submissions, an abstract plays a very important role. It provides the essence of a research or scientific paper, report, thesis, or presentation. Its main purpose is to give a complete summary or overview of the project to the reader. It gives a glimpse of the objectives, methods, key findings, and conclusions of the study carried out by the scholars.
Handling events in 2026 requires more than just registration and ticketing. Event organizers require tools that combine abstract management, speaker review process management, CRM, and engagement. These tools will enable you to host successful academic, scientific, hybrid, and business events efficiently and effectively.
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.
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.
The peer review system is an integral part of academic conferences, and it helps establish scholarly credibility. It is important to choose the right peer review system that impacts your workflow from abstract submission to making final decisions. This decision paves the way for a proper review to be conducted, and with a proper system, it builds trust between the reviewers and the importance of the event. Continue reading
Conference organizers today watch submission numbers the way investors track the prices of their shares in the stock market. Similarly, when abstract submission numbers drop by double digits, panic sets in for conference planners. On the other hand, when they do climb, there is perhaps no better feeling in the world.
Academic events depend not only on proper organization but also on a good number of attendees and a proper assessment of the submissions made. In the context of hosting a research conference, a university symposium, or an international meeting of academics, the success of such events relies on having the proper platform, which forms the foundation for their success.

You became an academic conference organizer because you believed in bringing researchers together. You wanted to create spaces where abstract ideas could collide and collaborations could form. You saw yourself shaping programs that would contribute to scaling up a field and subsequently, broader mankind.
Managing conference abstracts feels like conducting an orchestra. You are coordinating reviewers and tracking submissions while you maintain quality standards and keep everyone informed on a tight timeline. However, you might wonder how to determine if your process actually works.
