Converia supports the planning of academic and professional event programmes, from submission through to publication of the conference schedule. The software can handle both extensive Call for Abstracts processes with peer review and smaller programmes without a formal submission phase.
Does Converia Offer a Modern Conference Planner?

It supports various views and features for participants, speakers and organisers:
Timetable view with rooms and times
Colour coding by topic
Switchable list views
Detailed session views
Detailed person profiles
Add-to-calendar export via ICS
Sharing feature

Personal programme
Participants can create their own personal programme and access it across different devices.
Does Converia Support a Call for Abstracts or Call for Contributions With Peer Review?
Yes. Converia supports the entire academic submission process.
This includes:
Submission of contributions
Call for Abstracts
Call for Contributions
Peer review
Final selection of presentations
Transfer of accepted contributions to programme planning
The entire process can be managed digitally. Converia manages over 50,000 academic contributions annually, making it suitable for high submission volumes.
What If No Submission Process Is Required?
Converia can also be used for programme planning without a formal Call for Abstracts or peer review.
Alternatively, presentations can be:
Entered directly and manually
Imported from an Excel spreadsheet
This is particularly suitable for smaller programmes with up to approximately 40 to 50 presentations.
Can Multiple Submission Projects Run in Parallel?
Yes. Converia allows several independent submission projects to run in parallel.
Examples include:
A Call for Abstracts
A Call for Sessions
A Call for Workshops
The submission projects can be organised separately. The accepted contributions are then brought together in a single conference schedule.
Can People Have Different Roles in Different Sessions?
Yes. A person can take on multiple roles within an event in Converia.
Examples include:
Session chair in one session
Discussant in another session
Presenter of a talk
Co-author of a contribution
All of a person's roles are brought together and displayed in the conference schedule. This ensures that person profiles remain consistent, even when individuals have multiple roles.
