User-Friendly Platform with Exceptional Customer Service

The platform is very user-friendly and easy for customers to use. Customer service has also been exceptional, especially when creating pages. I do not know the pricing as I am not involved in that aspect but I can imagine the value is immeasurable to what we were previously using. The product and service is fantastic.

Fourwaves: An Intuitive One-Stop Shop for Conference Management

Fourwaves provided a one-stop shop for all our conference needs. It offered a website to advertise the conference, manage abstract submissions and Scientific Committee reviews, handle conference registrations and refunds, and build and host the conference program. Overall, it was intuitive to use and felt user-friendly for conference attendees.

What is Fourwaves?

Fourwaves is conference management software for academic conferences: abstract submissions, peer review, registration, event website, program and conference app in one platform, built for researchers at universities, scientific societies and research networks. Fourwaves runs academic conferences of any size, from international society meetings to departmental research days. Organizers run the whole call for abstracts in Fourwaves. They build their own submission form with conditional logic, define presentation types such as posters and talks, and let authors submit and revise their own work. Reviewers score and comment in their own portal, with single-blind or double-blind review and automatic reviewer assignment. Decisions are recorded in one place and emailed to authors, and accepted abstracts flow straight into the program and the book of abstracts. The same event also takes registrations and payments, publishes a no-code event website and program, and gives attendees a conference app. Organizers email participants from the platform, print name badges, issue certificates and host poster sessions in person or online. Every module shares the same data, so nothing is re-keyed between tools, and Fourwaves replaces the usual patchwork of spreadsheets, online forms and email threads. Fourwaves is used by universities, scientific societies and associations, and research networks across North America, Europe, Asia and beyond. It maintains 99.9% uptime, 97.9% organizer satisfaction and a median first support response under 5 minutes. Pricing is flat and published: a free Starter plan with 50 abstract submissions a year, yearly paid plans with no add-ons, and unlimited registrations on every plan. The platform and support are available in English and French, and data is hosted in the province of Quebec, Canada.
