Conference and event management has always been part of the institutional repertoire, but the quality of the event management needs to match the quality of the event itself.
Streamlined and secure, Conference Manager is the quickest, most efficient way for higher education institutions to set up and manage multiple virtual or in-person academic or corporate conferences and events.
We listened when you and your higher ed peers expressed the need for agile, easy-to-use academic conference management software. That’s why Conference Manager is intuitively designed to increase brand recognition, drive new revenues, and provide flexibility and control for badging, micro-credentialing, CEU credits, and much more.
In fact, Conference Manager is the only conference management software built specifically for the higher ed conference provider.
Focus on conference success—not administration.
Virtual meetings are here to stay.
That’s why Conference Manager applies the same quality management solution to its virtual conferences as it always has to its in-person meetings. Increase revenue and build your school’s reputation with an efficient college and university event management software that leverages business best practices.
Set Up New Conferences
Create new academic conferences and other virtual events using the conference wizard to configure participant types, packages, streams, and session schedules.
Manage CEUs and Accreditation Letters
Automate management and distribution of accreditation letters, Continuing Education Units (CEUs), academic units, and other professional credits.
Create User-Friendly Digital Engagement
Boost your institution’s online presence. Quality, easy-to-use digital engagement has never been more important.
We needed a system that would reduce the amount of labor involved in hosting the conference by automating many of the processes that we were doing manually. At the same time, we wanted to improve the registration experience for the person attending the conference by giving them a more self-supported experience. The Conference Manager module accomplishes those goals for us.
