Academic Conference Management, Peer-Reviewed Simple
Paper sessions, poster presentations, academic pricing tiers, and attendee networking — all free. Save your budget for what matters.
Sound familiar?
You're not alone. These are the challenges we hear every day.
Paper presentations and poster sessions need separate workflows
Oral presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions, and keynotes each have different time slots, room setups, and review processes. Most platforms treat them identically.
Registration budgets are tight for academic events
University-funded conferences can't justify $5,000-$10,000 platform fees. The budget goes to speaker travel, venue hire, and catering — not software.
Coordinating reviewers, presenters, and chairs is exhausting
Session chairs, paper reviewers, keynote speakers, and poster presenters all need different levels of access and communication. Email chains spiral out of control.
From call for papers to conference day
Build your programme, manage presenters, open registration. All in one place.
Create your conference programme
Set up tracks for oral presentations, poster sessions, panels, and keynotes. Assign rooms and time slots to each session type.
Add presenters and build the schedule

Registration opens and reminders auto-send
Tiered registration (faculty, student, early bird), session RSVPs, and schedule reminders run on autopilot.

Conferences that stayed on budget
Academic organisers who saved thousands without compromising quality
"Our annual symposium had 200 attendees, 40 paper presentations, and 15 poster sessions. Cvent wanted $6,000. Who's In handled everything for free — just 2.7% on registration fees."
"The personal agenda builder changed how our attendees experience the conference. They star the papers they want to see and get reminders before each session starts."
"Managing student vs faculty registration with different pricing was trivial. The tiered ticketing handles it automatically — no manual verification needed."
