When Is Converia the Right Choice?

Find out which types of events and requirements Converia is particularly well suited to – from academic conferences to hybrid events.

Converia is particularly suitable for events where registration, programme planning, abstract submission, payment processing, data protection and on-site processes need to be managed within a central system.

The software is designed for more complex event formats that involve multiple organisational requirements.


Who Is It Suitable For?

Converia is suitable for organisations that want to plan and run academic, professional or institutional events. These include:

  • Universities and higher education institutions

  • Research institutions

  • Academic societies

  • Medical institutions and continuing education providers

  • Associations

  • Public institutions

  • Organisers of professional congresses, workshops and member events

Converia is suitable for both smaller events with fewer than 200 participants and large congresses with very high participant numbers.


Typical Use Cases

Converia is particularly suitable for academic conferences with a Call for Abstracts, peer review and multi-day programmes with parallel tracks.

For university events, Converia supports requirements such as integration with SAP, DATEV or other ERP systems, as well as centralised cost centre management.

For continuing medical education events, Converia can record attendance for individual rooms. This helps provide proof of attendance for CME credits.

For association conferences, Converia offers features such as member pricing, tiered early-bird rates and group registrations.

Hybrid events can also be organised using Converia. This includes live streaming, video on demand and networking platforms.

For international events, Converia supports reverse charge procedures, multiple tax rates and multilingual functionality, among other features.

Converia is also suitable for events with strict data protection requirements, where data must be processed exclusively within Europe.


When Should Requirements Be Assessed Individually?

An individual assessment is recommended if your event has specific requirements regarding payment processing, integrations, tax rules, authentication or technical integration.

This applies in particular to events involving:

  • Complex ERP or accounting systems

  • Multiple tax rates or international billing scenarios

  • Specific single sign-on requirements

  • Extensive integrations with external websites, apps or databases

  • Hybrid or virtual formats with specific streaming and networking requirements

  • Very large participant numbers or high submission volumes

For framework agreements, multiple events running in parallel or recurring event formats, it is also advisable to assess which contract and setup model is the best fit.
