The Pain Points that Dryfta Solves

dryfta-event-platform

 

A common approach to set up an academic or a nonprofit conference is to use an array of tools, e.g., WordPress, Eventbrite, Easychair, and Mailchimp. Then put your staff into multi-tasking mode and try to get your event off the ground.

What would it be like if you could access all of these features from a single platform, all fully integrated, making for a seamless, unified data flow? Dryfta event platform solves this issue of unstructured data flow caused primarily due to using one too many tools by offering a set of fully-integrated tools. Let’s see how Dryfta stacks up with each of these tools regarding features and functionality.

There’re more features which I wanted to mention here but I suggest you to explore your Dryfta platform and use them as per the need for your event.

 

Abstract Book Builder for Conferences

Abstracts submitted? Check. Abstracts Reviewed? Check. Authors notified? Check. What’s next? Welcoming the attendees at the conference, engaging them with programs and workshops, and presenting the Abstract Book, among various other things.

But it takes a lot of time and resources to design and build your abstract book, which could otherwise be used for more meaningful purposes! So how can you build an abstract book easily and beautifully without wasting much of your precious time?

Presenting the Abstract Book Builder.

Using Abstract Book Builder, it takes less than 5 minutes to design and publish your abstract book. Design your abstract book, add front and back covers, add a custom background image, add custom contents viz. chairman’s message, list of reviewers etcetera, choose abstracts (accepted, rejected or all) to publish and finally generate the abstract book in downloadable PDF format.

Why your Product never seems good enough

Level zero

Hi. This is your Chief Happiness Officer.

I’m very delighted to see 100s of users using Dryfta to manage their events 3 months after our private beta release. I take this oppurtunity to thank our founding customers especially my team for clinging to this vision of having an all-inclusive event management platform for event organizers and delivering on our promises.

Speaking of my vision, the platform still has a long way to go.As a product manager, you’re never satisfied with the work you have done and you have this forever longing for perfection and completeness in your product. To be honest, we’re still at level Zero. I can write a long list of features/tools which need to be implemented before it can be what I have envisioned.

Andrew Chen has written a nice post on this beautiful experience: Why your product will never seem like it’s good enough

Dryfta aspires to become academia’s most preferred conference platform

dashboard

There are almost 300 event management platforms out there. However, not everyone caters everything to everyone. Some only focus on registration systems, while others focus on attendees engagement. Some are primarily developed for corporate events, while others are focused on academic conferences. The problem is not a single event platform was ever developed with academic conferences in mind. There are platforms which provide abstract management, peer reviews, and ticketing but that’s not all that happens in academic conferences. Apart from presenting their papers, they also attend numerous sessions, workshops. The attendees at the conference network with fellow attendees, speakers, authors and researchers, collect leads and contact details from them, setup one to one meetings with each other. There’s so much that happens in an academic conference.
