How it works
We set-up online screens for authors to submit abstracts and papers.

The screens are linked to your conference web site and contributors pass seamlessly from your conference web site to the online submission system.
Referees can grade the papers online and the program committee can monitor progress.
You control everything through an online administration system.

Keep up to date with all the latest product developments and insights for conference administrators.

Full details
Try a live demo
We've set up two demo conferences so you can try out our system by submitting test abstracts. The links below will take you straight to the abstract submission forms - these are the links that you would place on your own conference website. After you click on a link you must sign up as an author, then you can submit an abstract.

Try out a standard conference setup.
Limited customisation, ideal for small conferences

Try out an extensively customised conference setup.
This is a typical setup for medium to large conferences

These submission forms are typical of a small conference (standard conference pack) and a larger conference (additional customisation) - we would customise the forms appropriately for your own conference.
