User-Focused and Effortless with Outstanding Support

It is incredibly user-focussed and easy to implement. Their customer support is also top notch, very responsive and clear communication. While I am using this for a single conference, as an extension of a separate ongoing event, if I were to need a service like this in the future I will only use Fourwaves.

Intuitive platform and responsive support

I received my access quickly when I requested it. The platform is easy to use. Quick support, even by email, when a question is asked. Courteous staff. It was the first time I used the platform. I received good advice and suggestions to increase the visibility of my event.

Made creating our confereence website easy

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.

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.
