We built Conference Manager following my experiences organizing academic conferences. I got tired of doing things ‘the hard way’ – responding to emails, transferring data to spreadsheets, sending out receipts and chasing the ‘techies’ for help. I knew there had to be a better way and designed Conference Manager to solve the problems that I was facing in managing conferences.

I was fortunate to work with a talented team of designers, programmers and conference experts who were able to make my dream of Conference Manager into a reality. We hope Conference Manager will be used by associations, academics and meeting professionals all over the world who face the same challenges that I did.
