Academic conferences don’t just end when the last session wraps up. Their websites, filled with programs, abstracts, posters, and recordings, are valuable archives for the research community.

Too often, these websites disappear, leaving behind broken links and lost knowledge.

With Fourwaves, your conference website remains online for as long as you need, at no extra cost. Organizers can:

  • Preserve a permanent record of their event
  • Maintain credibility with sponsors and participants
  • Clone past editions to save time in future planning

Don’t let your conference vanish!

Frequently asked questions

A free conference website is included in the Fourwaves free plan: you can create an event website with a custom banner, color and text. It includes a registration and submission form, an online program and a participant and presentation list.

Fourwaves event websites are customizable on every paid plan: add unlimited content blocks with images, speaker headshots, sponsor logos and more.

You can also add unlimited number of pages, have a white label version, and run the site on a domain you own.

A Fourwaves event website can run on a domain you own, such as yourconference.org or events.yoursociety.org. The domain is connected directly, not forwarded to another address, so it stays in the browser bar on your website and on your registration and submission forms. Connecting it takes two DNS records at your registrar, and the HTTPS certificate is issued and renewed for you. Existing event.fourwaves.com links keep working and redirect to your domain. Without a domain of your own, your event website is live at a short URL based on your event acronym.
