Ever wondered what drives people to be fully involved in academic events, ask pertinent questions, and be an active listener?

An effective event engagement strategy can set the tone for any gathering. The chance to build a relationship is why most people are in the room anyway.

Academic events are considered a great success when participants are well-informed, engaged, and connected. Nowadays, organisers often rely on mobile apps to guide participants through events. These apps help attendees plan their time and facilitate communication during the event. Participants require the application to be quick, simple, and to meet their needs. If you happen to create a mobile app for an academic event, then it is necessary for you to put user experience first. Continue reading
In planning a simple, ‘straightforward’ conference, event professionals, well into planning, realize that even the most uncomplicated of gatherings are tough in execution. On that note, imagine having to plan a conference with not a single but multiple tracks leading into and across a number of sub-domains or niches. The task grows harder and multiplies with each additional track you add. But here’s what we must do, apart from acknowledging the madness of it all: acknowledge the professionals and the tech that make this possible.
Students juggling classes, part-time jobs, extracurricular activities and social commitments greatly appreciate and benefit from the existence of what we call ‘day notifications’. For the students who’ve missed information about an important seminar simply because an email got buried in their inbox. And for the professors who’ve seen only empty lecture halls despite weeks of meticulous event planning, the answer might be sitting right in everyone’s pocket.
It is common for academic event planning to appear as if one is trying to balance it on a tight rope. On the one hand, there is a desire to present a stimulating event to students, faculty, and outsiders, but on the other hand, it is necessary to keep the budget under control. The truth is that an educational event can be a great success without having to spend a lot. What it really needs is thorough planning, wise use of resources, and suitable tools. Continue reading
Why do some events draw researchers while others do not? The reason links to the quality of content offered at each event. Researchers often look for valuable content that supports their work. They want to attend sessions that help them learn new techniques, stay up to date on the latest information, or solve problems directly. Also, they tend to work under tight schedules. The pressure to meet deadlines, review manuscripts, conduct lab work, and instruct students requires them to decide how to allocate their limited time. Because of this, they avoid content that feels unclear or invaluable.
Attending your first conference as a student often feels like stepping into a new world. You enter a space filled with conversations, ideas, and people who care about the same subjects you explore in your research. Attending an academic event is like graduating from your classroom or lab and getting to see the bigger academic community. On top of that, it gets you to the newest research, lets you make professional connections, and gives you the feeling of being a young scholar. Continue reading
Creating a good Call for Papers (CFP) for your academic conference can have a huge impact. They act as the backbone that makes or breaks your academic event. The CFP is a powerful invitation. They are not just an announcement. They are a doorway to the academic conference. A well-written CFP is your conference’s first impression. As the old saying goes, first impressions matter the most. It sets the tone, attracts the right speakers for your academic conference, and boosts the overall engagement rates.
The true value of conferences and research events lies in effective networking. Engaging with peers and industry leaders can unlock invaluable opportunities and foster collaborations that drive innovation and growth. Researchers might have come for the science, but they stay back for the conversations, live polls, and Q&A sessions. The right platform can transform these events into a high-value connection that benefits your organization in the long run.
Conference proceedings are a lot like a billboard for your academic community. If they look authoritative and are easy to find, scholars will want to publish with you, too. An incredible platform to build your credibility is Google Scholar.
Planning an academic conference isn’t just picking a date and locking down a venue. It’s a full-on adventure that needs sharp coordination, constant communication, and smooth execution from start to finish. If you use the proper academic conference tools, you will drastically cut down your working hours and reduce the chance of errors. These tools also make it easy to manage registrations, abstract reviews, scheduling, attendee engagement, and report generation. Continue reading
