Documentation for Conference Organizers and Chairs
General guidance for everyone who is organizing a conference – covering the questions our clients ask most often and the experience we have gathered over many years of providing ConfTool to organizers and chairs. These pages are about running an event, not about operating the software.
Organizing your first conference?
Start with the Guide for Local Organizers for the practical side – venue, budget, catering and registration desk – and read The Phases of Conference Preparation to see how the academic programme comes together.
