Academic conferences help to share knowledge, build collaboration, and promote research in various disciplines. Nowadays, the need for specialized event management applications designed specifically for academic conferences is obvious. Academic event management application development helps to:
- Improve learning and engagement;
- Conduct live Q&A sessions;
- Simplify event registration.
And generally make a scientific conference an interactive, dynamic and memorable event.
Applications For Conferences And Scientific Events
Stay on top of your schedule
A busy schedule of multiple sessions, concurrent sessions, and presentations is a common occurrence at scientific conferences, regardless of discipline. And navigating the complex agenda is no small task. Event management applications make it easy to filter sessions by importance/interest and create your own personalized itinerary.
The app will send session start reminders and provide as much information about the session as possible. Attendees can view speaker biographies, abstracts, and related materials to help them make informed decisions about which sessins to attend. In addition, by tracking session attendance, the app can provide information on which topics and speakers were most popular, which will help in planning future conferences.
Live Q&A Creates Dialogue
A valuable aspect of academic conferences is the opportunity to interact directly with speakers and experts in their field. A dedicated event management application facilitates this interaction with live Q&A features that allow attendees to ask questions in real time during the presentation.
The live Q&A feature not only facilitates attendee participation, but also encourages a wider range of questions from individuals who may be shy about speaking in a crowded room. In addition, the app can include moderation tools that allow organizers to filter and prioritize questions based on their relevance and popularity, ensuring a smooth and productive discussion. Live Q&A sessions can also be recorded and archived in the app, providing a valuable resource for attendees to return to after the conference.
Networking and Interaction
At scientific conferences, there are always opportunities to build collaborations, meet interesting people, and lay the groundwork for interesting, meaningful projects in the future. And thanks to mobile applications, all of these opportunities are becoming more accessible.
Participants will be able to communicate online in real time, exchanging messages, comments, group discussions, and virtual coffee breaks. They will also be able to share valuable information.
Preserve Academic Content
The rich resource library in the Event Management application can serve as a central hub for all academic content related to the conference. This feature allows attendees to access reports, slides, videos, and supplemental materials from presentations and workshops.
Having all resources in one easily accessible location enhances the learning experience by allowing attendees to review content at their own pace. It also helps those who missed certain sessions by ensuring they still have access to all conference materials. For added convenience, the app can include note-taking and bookmarking features, allowing users to personalize their learning journey.
According to Lyonwood, the mobile app development industry for events will grow rapidly in the future. So if you are looking to improve the organization of academic conferences, you should definitely consider this opportunity!
