"Made creating our confereence website easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Fourwaves?

Builing the conference website was very intuitive and when we experienced any difficulties or had questions the Fourwaves team were very quick to respond and provide solutions. Abstract submissions and evaluations were all very smooth and registrations were processed easily. Creating the schedule and the conference booklet were also quick since everything is in one place. Our attendees also found the site easy to navigate and liked that the up-to-date conference schedule was always available on the website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fourwaves?

Since our conference was relatively small, the cost associated with using Fourwaves represented a significant part of our budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fourwaves makes running academic events simple, affordable, and stress-free"
5/5
What do you like best about Fourwaves?

We are the Mississippi Academy of Sciences, a non-profit organization led by faculty volunteers that hosts 2–3 student-focused events each year. Our mission is to ensure these events remain affordable for the many students who attend to present their scientific research. In March 2026, we will proudly host our 90th annual meeting.

Over the years, we have used several abstract submission and registration platforms. Some required separate systems for abstracts and registration, which made cross-referencing time-consuming and difficult. Others offered both functions but lacked a central event landing page. Fourwaves has been exceptional in meeting all of these needs by combining abstract submission, registration, and an event landing page that links seamlessly to our organization’s website.

Equally important, the Fourwaves team is responsive, reliable, and proactive in providing guidance. Their narrated video tutorials are simple, clear, and invaluable in helping us optimize our platform. During contract renewal, we especially appreciated the CEO’s thoughtful review of the features we actually used, ensuring we selected the right plan without unnecessary added costs. This integrity and customer-first approach set them apart.

For the past three years, our partnership with Fourwaves has been outstanding. Their support team consistently provides quick, patient responses—something we value greatly as a group that is not especially tech-savvy. The platform itself is intuitive, rich in features, and offers excellent value for the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fourwaves?

Only one minor limitation we’ve encountered is that if someone registers with an invoice but later decides to pay by credit card, they must use a different email address. This can make it more difficult to track submissions, registrations, and the total number of participants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Exceptional Support and Continuous Improvements"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Fourwaves?

Fourwaves has been quick to respond to any rare technical issues that have occurred and promptly investigate what went wrong to prevent a reoccurrence. They are happy to guide you through setup if needed, and they occasionally check in to make sure everything is running smoothly and to see if you have any questions.

They also make improvements and add new features on a regular basis. After each event I've provided feedback on my experience, and by the time I start my next event they've already implemented much of what I've suggested or are in the process of doing so. Each event gets better and easier thanks to their hard work and dedication to the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fourwaves?

For the cost of the lower tier events I think more submissions should be included without needing to purchase the "unlimited submissions" add-on. A compromise may be that more submissions are allowed, but the limit applies to how many submissions are actually accepted and included in the event.

If you have the top tier plan and want to run a second active event that is much smaller, you are forced to pay the full price of the top tier plan for each event even if you don't need all the bells and whistles. It should be an option to purchase the appropriate tier based on each individual event needs. This is not a big concern for many I am sure, but it is for a non-profit trying to use their funds wisely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing Platform & Service for Conference Planning"
5/5
What do you like best about Fourwaves?

We have been using Fourwaves for our conference event planning for several years, and the platform continues to impress us. Each year, they roll out new features that make the process smoother and more efficient, showing that they truly listen to the needs of their users.

The customer service is outstanding. They are friendly, responsive, and always quick to resolve questions or issues. We have consistently felt supported at every stage of our planning, from abstract submissions and scheduling to registration and overall conference logistics.

Fourwaves has helped us streamline what used to be complex, time-consuming tasks, and made it much easier to create a professional, seamless experience for our attendees. The platform is intuitive, flexible, and reliable, which gives us confidence year after year.

We highly recommend Fourwaves to any organization running academic conferences or professional events. Their commitment to continuous improvement and excellent customer support truly sets them apart.

We can't wait to see what other features they add on in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fourwaves?

While the platform works on mobile, a more streamlined mobile interface would make it even easier for attendees on the go along with the ability to add a QR code to monitor attendees which may be linked to CE certificates.

The reporting and analytics are good, but having even more detailed export options would make it even stronger.

Both these points are on Fourwaves radar and they are working on it - can't wait to see this feature in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
