Introduction
  • In a conference management software, you do not
    invest every day. So that you do not regret your
    choice later, this will be well thought out. 
  • That is why we are turning the tables today and
    show you how to do it better.

3
1) You are not making any preliminary
considerations
  • Before deciding on a conference management
    software, you should first ask yourself the
    following question
  • What must the software be able to do?
  • Perhaps the type of event you have will require
    specific requirements, or you may have special
    requirements that the conference management
    software should meet.
  • Formulate these before you go into the search for
    a software for the management of your conference

4
2) You are not informed about the provider of the
conference management software
  • The website of the provider promises the best
    conference management software, but see the other
    so synonymous?
  •  Find out who is currently working with and what
    customers are saying. 
  • If no single customer voice can be found and the
    most recent project completed in 2012, continue
    the search for a conference management software
    at a different location.

3) You do not want to spend money
  • Conference management software that costs
    nothing? 
  • They exist. Free software, however, usually
    reaches its limits fairly quickly during
    conference management. 
  • Therefore, do not expect too much, and certainly
    no individual solutions, extensive support
    services or a huge range of functions, when
    choosing a free solution.
  • In the worst case, you will pay a high price for
    a seemingly free conference management software
    because you will have a much greater
    administrative burden or you will be surprised to
    find that important functions are not available
    as expected in your time-critical project.

4) You are planning to pass by your participants
  • Do not forget that your attendees are using the
    conference management software,
  • for example, to sign up and submit
    contributions. Therefore, the menu management
    must not be overly complicated.
  •  When designing the website, also think about the
    users of mobile devices. The page should also be
    displayed well on smaller displays.
  • The conference management software provider may
    also provide an app like MLeads that will provide
    all visitors with up-to-date information. Note
    that the app should run on different operating
    systems

5) You have not yet tested the conference
management software
  • What the future software for your conference
    management can do, you already know.
  •  But have you already tested the functions? 
  • Whether the conference management software keeps
    what you promises and the handling is truly
    user-friendly,
  • you can find out for yourself provided that the
    offer with an online demo or a test installation
    gives you the opportunity.

6) You are not dealing with the topic of support
  • We can get it by itself! Only the organizer
    with the greatest success of the event will find
    that the management of conferences usually has no
    time to get to the bottom of any software problem
    and to search for the right solution. 
  • Just ask those who are familiar with it. The
    prerequisite for this is, of course, that there
    is someone with an open ear for your request.
  • Also, make sure that training is offered or ask
    for specific advice on how the provider can
    prepare you and your team to work with the
    conference management software.

7) You do not know the exact prices
  • What appears cheap at first can look quite
    different on the bill at the end.
  • Check in advance which services are charged and
    check whether there are any additional charges. 
  • If the provider is covered here and does not
    provide any specific information, another
    conference management software is the better
    choice.

8) They combine conference management software
from different vendors
  • One software only for participant registration,
    another for the abstract management, and a third
    one with which you create the conference plan. 
  • Even if each of the programs is running smoothly,
    you will not work so effectively, because the
    applications cannot interchange data.
  • Therefore, always opt for a single vendor whose
    conference management software combines all the
    features you need. This makes it possible,
  • for example, to compile the program
    automatically from the accepted abstracts or to
    send emails to the participants directly from the
    conference management software.

9) You do not have an overview of current numbers
  • As an organizer, you should always know how your
    conference is ordered. 
  • How many payments are you waiting for? 
  • How long can abstracts be submitted?
  •  The right conference management software gives
    you the answers without you having to count or
    reckon. By the way, reminding you of pending
    expert opinions and payments is usually the same
    as with the mail function of the conference
    management software.

12
10) You do not know what happens to your
subscribers data
  • because only the provider of the conference
    management software has access to it. You do not
    know why the addresses and bank data are actually
    used and how long they are stored.
  • If you want more transparency, you should include
    data protection as a further important point in
    your list of decision-making criteria. 
  • Ask about the privacy policies that apply to the
    use of the conference management software, where
    the servers are located,
  • where the data is stored, and what happens with
    the data at the end of the event.
