Suggested Applications
for conference, course and seminar organisers
A well-structured dynamic, interactive website can help to really get your conferences and events going - and to keep the discussion going and keep you in touch with an active participant group long after the event itself.
Empetus can create a customised system to meet the needs of your particular event. Suggested features you may wish to consider include:
- Web-based pre-registration and bookings, including secure online payment processing.
- Dynamic programme and event details - e.g. current conference timetable as the programme is evolved and finalised, latest news about confirmed speakers and presentations - published to the website easily by non-technical administration staff using a simple browser-based content management system.
- Online 'call for papers' and submission of abstracts and proposed presentations.
- Email groups and email merge functionality for easily sending information to different groups such as registered participants, speakers, administrators.
- Pre-conference discussion forums to stimulate contact and debate between participants even before the event.
- Post-conference forums and news groups where the discussion can continue long after the event itself - and organisers can maintain contact with potential future participants and contributors.
- Online abstract and presentation archives, where visitors
can search and view materials from previous events.
