Easy to manage event site good for science-focused conferences

The site is very easy to use and manage. The ability to charge and connect via Stripe to legally collect fees for an independent conference. The support team is very responsive.

Exceptional customer service and an ideal platform for successful events

We have used this platform for our most recent virtual, hybrid, and in-person events, bringing together hundreds of participants and submissions. We are completely satisfied. The customer service is exceptional: quick responses, accessible team, and effective support. The numerous videos and wiki resources greatly facilitate the use of the platform. The team listens to the needs of its clients and shows a constant commitment to continuous improvement. We highly recommend this solution.

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.
