Programs, speakers and agendas that hold together under pressure.
Plan tracks, rooms and sessions on one grid. Invite speakers or open a call for proposals, review submissions fairly, publish the program and let attendees build their own agenda with seats held for the sessions they choose.
The program changes forty times, and the badges were printed after the third.
A speaker cancels, a room is double-booked, a popular workshop overflows while the hall next door is half empty. When the program, registration and room capacity live in separate places, every change becomes a chain of emails and an apology at the door.

How conferences work
What you get
- A program grid with room and speaker conflict checks
- Calls for proposals with rubrics, blind review and decisions
- Speaker portals that collect everything you need
- Personal agendas with session capacity and waitlists
- Change notifications that reach only the people affected
Shape the program
Create tracks, rooms and session types, then place sessions on a schedule grid. Conflicts for rooms and speakers are flagged as you go.
Collect and review proposals
Open a call for proposals with your own questions. Reviewers score against a rubric, can review blind, and declare conflicts of interest.
Look after your speakers
Speakers get a portal for their profile, proposals and publication consent. You see what is missing at a glance.
Register and allocate
Ticket classes decide who can attend which sessions. Attendees pick sessions, seats are held up to each room’s capacity and waitlists fill released places.
Change without chaos
Reschedule or move a session and the people affected are notified, their agendas update and the room plan follows.

Asked about Conferences
Can reviewers score proposals without seeing who wrote them?
Yes. Blind review hides author details from reviewers, and reviewers declare conflicts so they never review proposals from people they know.
How does session capacity work?
Each session has a capacity based on its room. When attendees add it to their agenda a place is held for them, and when it fills a waitlist takes over and offers released places in order.
Can I run hybrid sessions?
Yes. Sessions can be in person, online or both, with livestreams and replays for the online audience, and times shown in each attendee’s own time zone.
Do you issue certificates of attendance?
Yes, based on attendance rules you define, such as checking in to a minimum number of sessions. Attergo does not claim accreditation on your behalf.
