3 Ways a Fully Integrated Abstract Submission System Will Save Your Life

You have limited everything as a conference manager. You have limited time, money, staff members, and more. And yet, you’re expected to plan and execute an amazing conference that goes forward without a hitch. You’re stressed, overwhelmed, and underslept. Now you’re thinking, there’s got to be a better way to run this show. You’re right – with a robust enough Abstract Submission Software, there is. An abstract software saves you time, money, and staff by automating processes and centralizing everything on one platform. Most importantly, the right abstracts software integrates with all other platforms you need to further simplify the conference and event management process. 

You’ll Have More Time (Both at Work and After Work)

Abstracts software pulls together the tens of disparate processes you currently use – spreadsheets, emails, and other micro-management processes included – to save you time, energy, and hassle. Most importantly, it means you don’t have to worry about submissions, reviews, management, communication, sales, and more every waking hour of the day. That’s because your abstracts software will do it all.

The best part is that this saved time translates to more time to focus on more meaningful tasks and more time off work with your family and friends.

You’ll be Less Stressed

Frustration is inherent in the abstracts conference planning process. However, some of the most frustrating, stressful processes are the manual processes that make it difficult to keep your program on a timeline. For example, it can be difficult to get speakers to submit their conference materials on time.

Fully integrated software helps speakers manage themselves, stay on top of deadlines, and more. You can even send out reminders close to deadlines to ensure nothing is left to chance and do it all at once from your centralized hub. If attendees or speakers need to make a change, they can do so without your assistance in most circumstances.

You’ll Actually Enjoy Managing Conferences Again

While conference planning is a labor of love, many planners find it difficult to stay motivated with so many moving parts. Because abstracts software does much of the work and coordination for you, it’s simple to rediscover your passion once again!

An integrated system tackles administrative processes and allow you to work on elements of your conference that matter most.

What else is there for you to gain?

With countless potential values underlying an integrated Abstract Management Software system, there’s nothing to lose and everything to gain from making the switch to a more robust conference management platform.  Most importantly, you can free yourself of the stress of the process and learn how to love it again.
