Perfect for University Research Events

I really appreciate how Fourwaves makes organizing our university-wide research showcase so easy. With its attractive, intuitive interface, it caters well to submitters, judges, admins, and attendees. It’s clear that the designers have a deep understanding of what it takes to put on a research conference, especially with a focus on poster sessions. Admins and judges find the abstract submission management straightforward and efficient. It's one of the most intuitive pieces of software I've ever interacted with, and the customer support team is absolutely incredible.

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.
