Converia vs. eveeno
eveeno and Converia both support event organizers with many similar tasks: attendees can register online, book and pay for tickets, while organizers can set up event pages, communicate with attendees, and manage on-site check-in. However, the focus of the two solutions differs. eveeno is a flexible platform for attendee management, registration, and ticketing. It is suitable for a wide variety of event types—from courses and seminars to corporate events, meetings, congresses, and conferences. Organizers can set up an event page with registration relatively quickly, incorporating various tickets, workshops, quotas, waiting lists, and payment methods. Converia is more strongly geared toward scientific conferences. In addition to attendee management and registration, its core features include abstract and paper management, review processes, and the organization of scientific programs. With BaFin-certified and insolvency-protected payment management, organizers can collect ticket revenue through legally compliant processes using common payment methods. Which solution is a better fit depends primarily on the complexity of the event and which processes, beyond attendee registration, need to be managed.
Summary
eveeno focuses on straightforward and flexibly configurable attendee management. Organizers can create event pages and registration forms, offer different tickets and price tiers, manage workshops and other options with individual quotas, maintain waiting lists, and accept payments. The feature set also includes tickets, invoices, cancellation invoices, attendee communication, and check-in via QR or barcode. This makes eveeno particularly suitable for events where registration, ticketing, and attendee management are the primary focus. Converia also covers registration, attendee management, payment processes, and check-in, but goes further for scientific conferences. Abstracts and papers can be submitted and reviewed, decisions managed, and scientific programs built from them. This allows authors, reviewers, speakers, and attendees to be managed within a cohesive conference process. Additionally, there are features specifically relevant to universities and scientific institutions, such as DFN-AAI, the ability to reuse configurations from previous conferences, and framework agreements for institutions that host many events. The essential difference, therefore, lies less in classic ticketing and more in the scope of scientific conference management.
The key differences at a glance
eveeno is a German event management platform with a focus on online registration, ticketing, and attendee management.
Using a modular system, organizers can create a responsive event page with a registration form without requiring extensive technical setup. Forms and booking processes can be customized and supplemented with various tickets and options.
For more complex registrations, features such as attendee quotas, workshops in different time slots, waiting lists, pre-registrations, and the ability to book multiple attendees at once can be set up. Early-bird discounts, tiered pricing, and promotional codes are also supported.
This allows for the management of larger, multi-day conferences with various program components.
For paid events, eveeno also handles essential parts of payment management through its own accounts. The platform supports various payment methods and generates invoices, as well as corresponding cancellation invoices if necessary. Automatic payment reminders can also be set up.
One of eveeno's strengths is its low barrier to entry. Free events can be managed at no cost; for paid events, eveeno operates on a transaction-based fee model. Additional business packages offer features such as API access, customization, and white-labeling.
Converia is an event management software with a clear focus on scientific conferences, congresses, and meetings.
Like eveeno, Converia offers participant management, online registration, and features for paid events. However, its range of functions is more closely aligned with the entire lifecycle of a scientific conference.
A central component, alongside participant management, is therefore the abstract and submission management. Authors can submit contributions, reviewers can evaluate them, and organizers can manage review and decision-making processes. Accepted contributions can then be integrated into the further program planning.
This connects processes that often go hand-in-hand at scientific conferences: call for papers, submission, peer review, communication with authors and speakers, program planning, and participant registration.
Converia also enables the creation of modern conference websites, where information, the program, submissions, and registration can all be offered within a unified presence.
For virtual and hybrid scientific conferences, a separate solution is available with the Virtual Venue . Unlike integrating an external video conferencing or streaming tool, the digital event is thus an integral part of the Converia offering.
For paid events, Converia can handle payment processing via BaFin-certified and insolvency-protected accounts. This also includes the generation of invoices and tickets, as well as the disbursement of revenue to the organizer. Separately managed credit card contracts for the organizer are not required for this.
On-site, Converia supports check-in, barcode scanning, and badge printing. Furthermore, access control can be implemented for individual event days or sessions.
For universities and research institutions, Converia offers another specialized feature with DFN-AAI . Members of participating institutions can use this to authenticate themselves via their existing university or institutional accounts.
If an institution regularly organizes scientific events, settings from previous events can also be reused. Framework agreements are available for organizations that host many conferences.
Compared to eveeno, Converia’s focus is less on being a universally applicable registration and ticketing tool. Instead, the platform aims to Consolidate participants, authors, reviewers, submissions, the program, and financial processes of a scientific conference into a single system.
