We were extremely satisfied.

We were extremely satisfied with the way Converia handled the registrations and payments for our symposium. All requests were dealt with immediately. Converia is also very flexible so that it was possible to reopen the early registration in the software’s backend at short notice for instance. All bookings, rebookings and refunds went without a hitch. I will definitely recommend Converia.

Converia saves me a lot of time

From my point of view, Converia becomes more and more user-friendly. Because of my experiences with using the software, I’m saving more time when managing conferences and handling inquiries and special cases. The advice from the Converia project management team and the fast response to my inquiries have always been very helpful! Thank you very much for this.

Uncomplicated system, friendly and helpful service

We organized an event with almost 500 attendees in cooperation with Converia, and were very satisfied with the collaboration. The system is uncomplicated, and the service was always client and solution-oriented and most of all always very friendly and helpful.
We will certainly join forces with Converia again when planning our next event.

Operating the software is easy and fast.

We’ve used Converia since our first symposium in 2018 and we’re also planning to use it again in 2020. Operating the software is easy and fast and provides us as well as the event attendees with lots of amenities. A real highlight is the kind support team.

Professional technical implementation, professional support

Professional technical implementation, professional support: We used Converia’s abstract management as well as the attendee registration and payment handling features for our 'Tag der Hydrologie' conference with 280 attendees. Both worked very well and saved us a lot of work. Especially during the stressful period shortly before the start of the conference, we were very pleased with the phone support which helped us to resolve a wide number of important questions within a short period of time.

Converia tool + the Converia team = time saving with smooth workflows

With Converia, we didn’t only get a clear, user-friendly tool that we could customize to our requirements regarding the attendee management. Just as important was the Converia team: a reliable, competent contact for all of our questions and requests with an always friendly, solution-oriented support. Nice to know that you can still receive such personal advice in our "digital" times. This allowed us to optimally use the Converia tool and saved us precious time. THANK YOU!

Converia – a one-stop solution

With Converia, we have found a system for our annual meeting with up to 1,000 participants which supports us throughout the entire planning process – starting with reviewing the conference contributions via the registration procedure, from the scheduling through to the app. The handling of accounting is also of great help to us for it saves us a lot of trouble and effort. We are very pleased with the fast service and the flexible help, and have therefore no qualms about recommending Converia!

Fast, competent and straightforward help at any time.

Nearly 400 attendees registered for CASE 2018 (14th IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering) this summer. Upon recommendation of the Technical University of Munich, we selected Converia as our registration system that allowed us to manage the entire registration process (attendee registration, booking of additional packages, payment, and check-in). We’ve always received excellent and straightforward support throughout all stages from the Converia team, from software configuration through payment tracking including handling special requests by attendees as well as reminder notices to printing the name badges for the attendees.

Using such a professional tool proved to be a great relief and a time saver in particular while we were preparing and running the event.

Considering cost-benefit aspects, the Converia solution was perfect for us. A decision that turned out to be right during the realization of the project.

As we wanted to use a conference management software for the first time for our annual general meeting, this led to the inevitable question of which software to choose.

Even during this early stage of selection, the Converia team provided us with competent and friendly advice. Lots of useful tips on what needs to be taken into account and which scope of service would be offered for the express version made the decision easy for us.

Considering cost-benefit aspects, the Converia solution was perfect for us. A decision that turned out to be right during the realization of the project. We managed to handle the complex attendee organization for our three-day event to the utmost satisfaction, were well assisted by Converia during the entire time and are now planning to use Converia again for our 2019 event.

The software and the quick, competent and friendly help made work a lot easier for us.

The Converia software was of great use for our Colloid Conference with more than 150 attendees. Particularly convenient was the fact that everything could be created and managed within the software – starting with the website creation, registration and abstract submission right through to building the schedule and the attendee check-in. The latter went very fast during the conference so queues could be prevented. The software also helped with managing extra activities like signing up for a tour. Mrs. Fischer’s permanent responsiveness and the quick, competent and friendly help during all steps made work a lot easier for us. That is why we were very satisfied.

Organizing our congress was significantly made easier by the Converia system.

Many thanks for your service and support throughout the entire time! The congress was a great success, and the organization made easier by the Converia system contributed a significant part to it.

Very good software & support package.

For organizing the German Society of Sport Science‘s 23rd University Day of Sport Science with more than 550 attendees, we have chosen Converia to provide the conference management system very early on and haven’t regretted the decision.
Thanks to Converia, we were able to successfully manage the comprehensive attendee registration and support, the complete abstract management with more than 350 submissions as well as a detailed program planning. On one side, Converia stands out due to a user-friendly frontend interface and at the same time features a simple and intuitive backend handling. This is also reflected in the results of the attendee evaluation. 94.4% gave the online registration process a rating of good to very good.
Particularly worthy of mention is the excellent support provided by the Converia team. Our contact person Mrs. Fischer was always there for us, coming up with solutions for our individual questions and requests even on short notice. The full package consisting of a very good software as well as an excellent support makes Converia a powerful tool that meets conference requirements in an ideal way.

Comprehensive congress management software + friendly and knowledgeable team = (almost) stress-free planning and running of our congress!

Converia was an important partner that facilitated many processes in the planning and running stages of the 12th European FIEP congress, a congress with 200 attendees from all over the world. The software helped us with the entire ticketing process (registration, booking, payment, check-in), paper submission and reviewing as well as with planning the scientific program. With its numerous features it covers practically anything needed to organize a conference. Other features are the good usability and the simple and intuitive handling in most cases. Many of the software’s default settings (e.g. regarding email communication with attendees) can be used immediately. Whenever we encountered any problems, the Converia team was quick to respond, friendly and knowledgeable.

We will be glad to work with Converia again should we organize another congress in the future. The software as well as the team behind it are highly recommended based on our experience.

This is how you would wish a competent and uncomplicated collaboration to be.

Working with the Converia software went perfectly well. The backend helped us to keep track of who registered and when, who wanted to take part in the evening event, who had already paid their fees etc. Particularly the latter has helped us a great deal in the end as we could save time when collecting payments because it would allow me to call or email the defaulting colleagues. The complete registration list with all relevant data and contact information is particularly useful as well. And we could always contact the Converia team, even at short notice, there was always a solution for our inquiries and requests, and the attendee registration websites were customized for our event. This is how you would wish a competent and uncomplicated collaboration to be that allows you to focus solely on content and organizational matters on-site when preparing the event.

It soon became apparent how much the planning and administration processes could be simplified with Converia.

We have used Converia for the first time when organizing the 16th German Child and Youth Welfare Congress. As we usually have to deal with a large amount of data and information, it soon became apparent how much the planning and administration processes of more than 200 events could be simplified with Converia. The professional and friendly support provided by the Converia team gave us the feeling of being in good hands. A particular highlight was the flexible surface customization for our congress.
Converia thus significantly contributed to the event’s success reflected in the positive feedback we received from our attendees (particularly on the app).

Nicole Tappert, Consultant for the German Child and Youth Welfare Congress

The practical support provided by Converia was a great relief.

I was positively surprised by working with Converia, not just in terms of the software’s functionality but especially in regards to the practical support provided by Mr. Wünscher and Mrs. Kül. It proved to be a great relief for me – thanks again for that. I would be happy to work with you again in the future.

We were supervised in a paramount manner within an excellent cost-performance ratio.

When we started to organize the ISAF / ECAPD / PFM Conference 21-25th August, 2016 in Darmstadt with nearly 500 participants and numerous industrial exhibitors, we decided to work with the Converia software which was a really good choice. Within an excellent cost-performance ratio, we were supervised in a paramount manner in the fields of registration, billing, reviewing of abstracts and proceedings, user administration and online timetable. Problems were solved within a short time due to an outstanding support. Requests for additional functions were answered quickly and with high flexibility. Converia relieved us from lots of workloads and solved some complicated cases promptly and in a non-bureaucratic manner. Individual screenshots and helpful explanations supported our team with the clear and intuitive front- and backend programming. The Converia software, having more features than we used, is highly recommended.

Dipl.-Ing. Anke Böttcher, Darmstadt University of Technology

Converia was of great assistance with managing registrations and submissions.

We used Converia for our workshop with 372 attendees where we managed registrations, paper submissions and payments. Payment management in particular wouldn’t have been possible without Converia and the software was of great assistance with managing registrations and submissions. I would also like to compliment the support team as well as they and their expert advice were always available and able to resolve any occurring difficulties. We will certainly use Converia again for our next event.

Very user-friendly, even with complex booking workflows.

From March 7-9, 2016 we, the organizing team at the Viadrina European University in Frankfurt (Oder), hosted the big ZKI-Frühjahrstagung focusing on IT security. More than 300 attendees, mainly consisting of data center managers and IT security experts, found the way to our university. Converia’s sophisticated booking system and the exemplary service from the manufacturing company Lombego Systems during the set-up and workflow stage prior to the conference allowed us to facilitate a big organizational planning aspect. The booking system Converia can be customized to complicated booking workflows (different conference combinations, formats and single events). The backend features for exporting and monitoring are also very user-friendly. We can thoroughly recommend the system to other conference organizers.

Richard Huber, CIO and DPO at the Viadrina European University

Major time saver and something to not lose sleep over.

Thanks to Converia we were able to prepare our workshop with about 115 participants without any trouble. We found permanent and reliable partners in the Converia team who put their professionalism and lifeblood at our disposal and catered to our problems and wishes. The Converia team was always friendly and ready to help and provided a great support whenever things got hectic for us. The software is carefully designed and user-friendly so it didn’t take long to get adjusted to it. The amount of positive feedback we got from our attendees who thanked us for the successful workshop and the professional organization also speaks in favor of Converia. We’d therefore like to extend our gratitude to the entire Converia team! We’d love it if all our future workshops would go as simple and convenient as this one…

With Converia, everything is consistent from A to Z.

A big compliment to Converia where everything is consistent from A to Z. The system is very user-friendly and carefully designed and our requests (sometimes made at short notice) were met in a competent and solution-oriented manner. We particularly appreciated the extremely comfortable and reliable cooperation. Many thanks for that!

There was much less stress thanks to Converia.

From an administrative point of view, there was much less stress on my part thanks to Converia. Our small workshop with about 70 attendees was a good starting point; the conference management system will definitely take full effect with higher attendance numbers. I will certainly use Converia again to organize the next conference. Another convenience was that either you or one of your colleagues were always within reach so that every ambiguity could easily be resolved. The good support contributed to a general absence of stress so that everything ran more smoothly. The responses coming from our participants were also positive.

All of the required features and much more could be conveniently put into practice after only a short training period.

During our search for an abstract management software and put off by common overpriced and outdated "solutions", we eventually came across Converia. All of the required features and much more could be conveniently put into practice after only a short training period. Support by the friendly, very competent Converia team (Bastian Nowotnick, Kati Fischer) was rarely needed but always quick and comprehensive when necessary. The conference planning as well as realizing the mobile app proved just as convenient. We can recommend Converia and wish future users to have the same fun and success we had while working with it.

Always friendly and helpful.

As a partner for our Contemplative Science Symposium, Converia has distinguished itself for being easy to get a hold of, and with a team that has always been friendly and helpful. We particularly appreciated Converia‘s high flexibility and its solution-oriented way which allowed us to implement short-term changes for the benefit of our guests.

Reliable attendee registration and payment handling platform.

In the context of our 68th annual meeting, we used the Converia software for managing attendees and handling their payments for the first time. We especially liked the system‘s user-friendly appearance, the various customizing options, and the competent and friendly customer support.

Sophisticated software with professional and efficient support.

We used Converia’s abstract management, attendee registration, and payment management for our 2019 System-Risk Conference. Planning the course of the conference with presentations, posters, and other elements went swiftly and could be carried out conveniently. The support team has answered all of our questions and responded quickly whenever an issue came up. That was a huge relief.

The wide range of features the user-friendly software offers provided the basis for working efficiently.

Our organization conducted a larger congress for the first time in 2015. In order to save resources, we wanted to reduce the administrative effort to a minimum from the very beginning. Converia was the perfect tool to do that. The wide range of features the user-friendly software offers provided the basis for working efficiently. Registering attendees, assigning them to a workshop, automatically generating invoices, exporting lists of participants or sending out bulk mails are just some of the tasks we were able to handle with Converia. Everyone attending our congress was very pleased with the simple registration process. We also would like to mention the competent and friendly support received from the Converia staff. Many thanks for that. We are looking forward to continuing working together.

Converia’s support is extraordinary and backed by a lot of experience.

After an extensive testing phase we decided to offer Converia at the JGU via a master agreement. In the meantime, several conferences of various sizes have been successfully managed and executed with Converia which was very positively received by users (organizers and attendees). We especially appreciate that the software proved easy to use after a short training period - that enables our users to manage their conferences mostly on their own. The pay-per-attendee and pay-per-abstract billing saves the organizers a lot of effort and thus is an outstanding feature. Specific requests and extras for individual conferences are always implemented quickly by the Converia team and they also welcome any suggestions for improvement. Overall, Converia’s support is extraordinary and backed by a lot of experience with a wide variety of events. We can highly recommend using the Converia master agreement.

Converia was our saving grace.

Converia was our saving grace. After facing enormous difficulties with handling online payments, all of our conference’s registration and payment formalities finally started to run smoothly once we – albeit a bit late - decided to use Converia. Mr. Kretzer, Mrs. Fischer and several others always provided friendly and competent assistance and were keen to find individual solutions even for specific requests – all the way to dubious or possibly fraudulent credit card payments. Due to our late switching to Converia when there were only 3 months left until the conference started, we only made use of a small part of the software’s extensive features, however we got a very positive impression of everything that’s possible. For the next conference or for another one we’ll surely use Converia again and we would rather use it from the start. A definite recommendation!

Converia is a very user-friendly software whose many features help manage conferences effectively.

After some initial skepticism from some attendees, almost everyone came to realize that Converia is a very user-friendly software whose many features help manage conferences effectively. Whenever a problem occurred, Mrs. Fischer and Mrs. Kül were always here to help and answered all our questions in a competent and friendly manner. A particular highlight besides the very good service is that Converia is interested in thorough feedback. They use any potential negative experiences to continue the optimization of their software and to make it even more user-friendly.

Converia makes work much easier.

Using Converia for planning and conducting the Design Modelling Symposium Berlin 2013 made our work much easier. The reviewing module ensured an easy and very clear collaboration between the advisory board, scientific board and authors. We’d like to sincerely thank for the great cooperation. All adjustments and modifications could be coordinated and implemented quickly and straightforwardly. Due to the positive experiences, we decided to use Converia for the Design Modelling Symposium 2015 in Copenhagen as well.

What had been complex at the beginning has been greatly simplified thanks to Converia.

What had to be done manually at the beginning has been greatly simplified thanks to Converia which was a huge time and nerve saver. The extremely friendly staff was always on hand with help and advice and that was a great help especially in stressful project stages. I’ve already successfully recommended Converia to other departments of our institute. The next conference is going to take place in two weeks. Once again with Converia.

Matthias Heinrich, Organization sb13 munich

We especially appreciated the quick reaction and the friendly customer support.

Without using a computer- and web-based platform like Converia, we couldn’t deal with the amount of data to be processed and the volume of communication. […] We especially appreciated the quick reaction to our inquiries and the friendly customer support.

Dr.-Ing. Irina Bilchuk Organization Committee 14th ICCCBE

We can fully endorse the view that service is Converia’s special advantage.

In my opinion, Converia saved us a lot of work that would otherwise have to be done by the institute’s staff. […] I would opt for a solution like Converia if I were in a similar situation again, simply because it makes a professional appearance possible without the need for one or more employees to be solely involved in organizing a conference for months. […] While working with them, we realized that service is Converia’s special advantage and hence can fully endorse that point of view. […] Overall, I’m very satisfied with the course our conference took and Converia contributed a great deal to it.

Converia enabled us to illustrate the requirements of an international conference.

Converia enabled us to illustrate the requirements of an international conference outstandingly.

Converia will remain my first choice when it comes to conference management.

I’ve been a professional conference organizer for more than 10 years. For the ETS, I’ve worked with Converia for the first time. It was of great value to me how much time and personnel and therefore money I was able to save by using Converia. With the Converia team, I always had fast-working and reliable partners by my side.

Eva-Maria Weder, PCO of the ETS
Friedrich Schiller University Jena

In our opinion, using Converia is highly recommended.

Converia has proved to be successful during our previous events and has reduced the amount of work considerably. Particularly worth mentioning is the system’s flexible expandability according to our wishes (e.g. a system for creating a seating plan for the gala dinner) so that we are able to use exactly the components we need.

I was very happy with both their electronic system and their personal co-operation.

We used the services by Converia to organize and process the scientific papers.
