How to Choose the Best Conference Management Software in 2025

The market for conference management tools is evolving rapidly. Academic organizers now expect a single platform that handles submissions, reviews, registration, scheduling, and communication.

Here are the top criteria to consider when selecting the right solution for your event.

1. Abstract Submission and Review

Make sure the system supports:

  • customizable submission forms

  • blind or double-blind review

  • reviewer assignments

  • automatic scoring and ranking

2. Registration and Payments

An integrated registration module reduces cost and simplifies workflows. Look for:

  • multiple ticket types

  • early-bird pricing

  • invoices/receipts

  • payment gateway integrations

3. Program Scheduling

A good platform will automatically generate:

  • sessions

  • rooms

  • parallel tracks

  • time slots

This can save organizers dozens of hours.

4. Ease of Use

Organizers, reviewers, and authors should be able to use the system without training. A clean, modern interface is critical.

5. Customer Support and Reliability

Conferences run on strict deadlines. Choose a vendor with fast support and proven reliability — like EventsAdmin.
