One conference. Six systems.
‍
The person who keeps the chaos under control.

Anyone who organizes events knows these situations:

Last-minute abstract changes

Three weeks before the conference, eight speakers email their revised abstracts. You have to update the new text in the submission tool, the program, and the conference website—three times over.

The predecessor's reviewer table

No one knows which version is current anymore – and the predecessor has been in a new job for a year. Reviewers are calling to ask why they have been sent submissions with conflicts of interest again.

The speaker who cancels at the last minute

A slot in Track A has opened up, the schedule needs to be adjusted, six co-speakers need new time slots, and three rooms are being shifted. And three tools don't know about it yet.

Membership conditions that no tool understands

Early bird, student, lifetime member, honorary member, and speaker-workshop combo rates. You manage these conditions manually and review every special case individually during the registration process.

The accounting inquiry in January

Three months after the conference, accounting is asking for 47 invoices that someone needs to reconcile. The status isn't fully documented anywhere—you have to reconstruct it from tickets, emails, and an Excel file.

The summer member newsletter

The next member newsletter needs to go out. But who sent the last one? To which mailing list, and with what greeting? No one can find the old email in the tool anymore – and you end up gathering all the information all over again.

With every handoff between systems, something gets lost or has to be re-entered. This is exactly where Converia comes in.

Three phases of a conference. One system.

Before the Conference

  • Submit and review abstracts
  • Plan program with parallel tracks
  • Register attendees, sell tickets, and generate invoices
  • Set up conference website and communications

During the conference

  • On-site check-in with QR codes and badges
  • Conference app with live program for attendees
  • Keep track of rooms and sessions in real time

After the conference

  • Reports and exports
  • Issue certificates of attendance
  • Transfer billing data to accounting
  • Import data for the next conference

The foundation for professional conference management.

What distinguishes a conference from an event - the program

What sets a conference apart from an event: the program.

Hundreds of abstracts. Reviewers with conflict-of-interest rules. Parallel tracks, rooms, times, and presentation durations—everything has to align down to the final session. If a submission changes, the program updates automatically. If a reviewer cancels, the system knows exactly which submissions are affected. In Converia, every step of your program runs on a single, unified database.

Features:
Collect abstract submissions
Assign reviewers, including conflict-of-interest rules

Speakers, reviewers, and attendees in one record

Speakers, reviewers, and attendees in one record.

Speakers, reviewers, and attendees are often the same people. When this data is stored in separate tools, it leads to duplicate entries and unnecessary inquiries. With Converia, you manage all relevant processes through a single database with integrated role-based logic.

Features:
Set up registration forms and ticket rules
Implement early-bird logic and rates requiring proof of eligibility
Manage payments, invoices, and billing exports
Check-in with badges and QR codes using the same database

Which conferences do you organize?

Universität oder Forschungseinrichtung

University or research institution

You are taking over a rotating conference from another university and need to host it in eight months. Framework agreements, tax logic, and compliance are handled in the background—so you can focus on the program.

Converia for Universities
Verband oder Fachgesellschaft

Association or Professional Society

You host annual meetings with volunteer committees, a stable pool of reviewers, and member pricing. Don't start from scratch next year—and avoid accounting queries in January.

Converia for Associations and Professional Societies
PCO oder Kongressagentur

PCO or Congress Agency

You manage multiple clients and conferences simultaneously. You need templates for recurring setups, consistent processes across your portfolio, and clean reporting for your clients.

Converia for PCOs

An individual solution for every requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How complex is it to switch from our current tool stack?

The transition doesn't happen in a single leap. We usually start with the next conference, rather than during an ongoing one. Importing data from Excel, legacy submission tools, and attendee databases is part of the onboarding process. A realistic timeframe is 4–8 weeks, depending on complexity.

How much does Converia cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the conference, the range of features, and the level of service. We offer transparent pricing models per conference or as an annual license for multiple events. We can discuss specific figures during a 15-minute consultation once we understand your requirements.

Is Converia the right fit for our industry?

Converia is designed for multi-day, content-driven professional conferences—complete with programs, abstract submissions, and peer-review processes. Our core audience includes universities, medical societies, associations, and PCOs. If you are planning a networking event, a festival, or a small meeting with fewer than 100 participants and no complex programming, other tools may be a better fit—we will be upfront about that during our consultation.

Can we use Converia for multiple conferences at the same time?

Yes. PCOs and congress agencies often manage 10+ conferences per year within the same system—using multi-client architecture, reusable templates, and cross-conference reporting.

How does Converia fit in with our existing tools?

Converia offers interfaces to common accounting, CRM, and identity management systems. Anything we don't handle natively can be connected via API. During a consultation, we will determine exactly which integrations you need.

Where are our data hosted and processed?

Our servers are located in Europe, and all data processing is GDPR-compliant. Our contracts and data processing agreements are specifically tailored to meet the needs of scientific, medical, and public sector clients.
