Intuitive, Flexible Event Platform with Seamless Setup and Helpful Support

Fourwaves is the most intuitive, easy-to-use event platform I have worked with. Getting set up was a breeze, as was setting up payments and forms for registrations and submissions. It provides a great framework to start with, and I love the flexibility to modify and make their platform work for a wide range of events. I also have received very helpful support from their team. Using past events as templates is also a great function to make the set-up process for annual events quick and easy.

What is Fourwaves?

Fourwaves is all-in-one conference management software built specifically for academic and scientific events, from small research symposiums and workshops to large, multi-track conferences. It brings abstract submission, peer review, registration and payments, event websites, scientific programs, and poster sessions into a single platform, replacing the spreadsheets, web forms, and disconnected tools most organizers rely on today. As dedicated abstract management software, Fourwaves runs the entire call for abstracts, and its abstract submission software lets authors submit and revise their own work through flexible forms with custom fields, conditional logic, and file uploads (Word and LaTeX documents included). The built-in peer review software supports single or double-blind review, a reviewer portal for scoring and feedback, assignment by topic or expertise, and conflict-of-interest safeguards that stop reviewers from being assigned their own submissions. Accept and reject decisions live in one place, and accepted abstracts flow straight into the program and a downloadable book of abstracts. As a complete conference management system, Fourwaves also handles attendee registration and secure online payments, a no-code event website, a dynamic program and agenda builder, targeted email communication, certificates of attendance, and interactive poster sessions for in-person, virtual, and hybrid events. Because every module shares the same data, there is no re-keying between tools. The platform scales from a 30-submission student research day to a 2,000-submission annual meeting. Fourwaves is academic conference management software trusted by leading research organizations including NASA, MIT, Stanford, NIH, and Harvard Medical School, supporting events in 58 countries. It maintains 99.9% uptime and 97.9% organizer satisfaction, and is rated 4.8/5 by its users. Pricing is transparent and university-friendly, with a free plan to start and no per-ticket fees, and both the platform and support are available in English and French.
