Product

One place for everyone who makes the conference

The committee, authors and reviewers, delegates and the organiser’s office each get what they need, from the same live information.

For the committee

Your committee, on the record

Most committees run on email threads and a spreadsheet. Conference Desk gives them a desk.

  • Decisions and votes. Propose, discuss, vote and record the outcome, with who voted and when.
  • Minutes. Kept with the decisions they record.
  • Tasks. Owners, due dates and reminders, so nothing waits on one person’s inbox.
  • Shared inbox. The conference mailbox, seen by the people who need it.
  • Partner liaison. Every sponsor and partner conversation in one log.
  • Series and editions. Next year starts from this year: tracks, settings and history carry over, even when the host changes.
Today: progress at a glance, then the work in order of urgency. Sample data from an example conference.

For authors and reviewers

From call for papers to decision

Open a call from a preset, then run review the way your committee already does.

  • Call for papers. Start from abstract, abstract and paper, or poster.
  • Submissions. Authors submit, edit before the deadline and see where their submission stands.
  • Review. Assign reviewers, score against your rubric and run more than one stage when you need it.
  • Panels. Group reviewers by track and let each panel decide.
  • Reviewers see only their papers, with the rubric and the deadline.
Submissions: the chips are the work queue, and each row shows reviews, score and status. Sample data.

For delegates

The conference in their pocket

The Conference Desk app for iPhone, with Android coming soon, under your conference’s name and colours.

  • Programme. Every session, with their own schedule.
  • Badge. A QR badge in the app, and in Apple Wallet on iPhone.
  • Questions. Ask the speaker from the session.
  • Directory and Challenge Exchange. Find the right people to meet.
  • Notices. Room changes and reminders as push notifications.
  • Certificates. Ready after the conference.
The app’s Today screen for an author: the next step is to register to present their accepted abstract, with a Book my place button. The programme for day one, with the opening keynote starred for the delegate’s own agenda. The delegate’s badge with a QR code to show at the registration desk.
Conference Desk 1.1 on iPhone: the next step, the programme and the badge. Sample data.

For the organiser’s office

Registration to certificates

The practical side, without three extra tools.

  • Registration. Fee categories, dietary and access needs, and invoices. Delegates pay your conference directly.
  • Programme. Sessions and parallel tracks, with a printable programme book on Conference plans and above.
  • Badges and check-in. QR badges and a quick door on the day.
  • Certificates. Attendance and presenter certificates with public verification.
  • Your branding. Your conference’s name, logo and colour on every plan.
  • Export everything. Your data, any time, in open formats.
The portal gives every delegate one next step, such as booking their place, so the office chases less. Sample data.
