Frequently asked questions

Building a Fourwaves event website takes no design skills: the editor is a drag-and-drop builder with pre-designed content blocks for speakers, sponsors, schedules, and files, so an organizer with no web or design experience publishes a professional conference website in an afternoon and updates it without a designer or IT ticket.

A Fourwaves event website address is customizable: choose an acronym to create a short URL to share with your attendees. You can also set up a redirect if you already have a custom domain name.

Your site remains accessible for as long as you wish, allowing you to archive past editions. If your plan expires, the site stays accessible, but you will lose access to paid features.

Fourwaves clones an event website for the next edition: you duplicate a previous event, including its website, forms, and settings, in one click, then update dates, speakers, and prices for the next edition. Past editions stay online, so an annual conference keeps its full history under one account.

Unlike general-purpose event tools, Fourwaves is built for scientific and academic events, with abstract submissions, peer review and virtual poster sessions included. Read our detailed comparisons: Fourwaves vs Cvent and Fourwaves vs Whova.

More about conference website builders

What is a conference website builder?

A conference website builder is a tool for publishing the website of an academic conference, symposium, or research day without a web developer: the event description, important dates, speakers, program, registration form, abstract submission form, sponsors, and venue information, on one public site.

Read more

A conference website builder is also called an event website builder, an academic conference website builder, or a conference website template. General-purpose builders like WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace produce a good-looking site but need plugins and manual updates for registration, submissions, and a schedule that changes weekly.

The Fourwaves event website builder is part of a conference management platform, so the registration form, call for abstracts, program, presentation pages, and participant list are pages of the site, not embeds from other tools. Organizers publish a working conference website in an afternoon, then edit it themselves for the life of the event.

How the event website builder works in Fourwaves

The Fourwaves event website builder works in six steps: start from a ready-to-publish site, add conference content blocks, publish in two languages, restrict private content, update in real time, then keep the site online after the event. Every form and program page is native to the site.

Read more
  1. Start from a ready-to-publish site. Every new event comes with a website: home page, registration and submission forms, schedule, presentations, and participants pages. Add your banner, colors, and text, and the site is live at a short URL based on your event acronym. If you own a domain, you can connect it to your conference website on Fourwaves.
  2. Add conference content blocks. Drag and drop blocks for speaker bios and headshots, sponsor logos, accommodation and travel, videos, downloadable files, and photo galleries. Organize content into dedicated pages, organized in section in your website navigation menu, so attendees find the venue, the program, and the call for abstracts without seaching.
  3. Publish in two languages. Fourwaves event websites can be published in English and French from one site, with the same forms and program, rather than a duplicate site per language.
  4. Restrict private content. Limit pages, files, or presentation materials to registered attendees, so slides, posters, and recordings stay inside your community.
  5. Update in real time. Change a session time or a speaker and the website, program, and conference app update together. Nobody waits on IT or a web agency.
  6. Keep it online after the event. The website stays accessible for as long as you want, so past editions remain a public record for funders and future committees. Clone it in one click to start the next edition.

Fourwaves event website vs WordPress or Wix for a conference

WordPress and Wix are the right tools for a permanent organization site. For a conference, they create three recurring problems: registration and abstract submission need paid plugins or third-party embeds, the schedule is edited by hand in a table, and the site depends on whoever holds the login when the organizing committee rotates.

Read more

A Fourwaves event website solves all three because forms, program, and presentations are native pages, and the organization’s events stay under one account across years: the PROTEO research network has kept its rotating annual symposium consistent across host universities this way since 2013. Organizers who want to keep an existing website can use Fourwaves only for the registration, submission, or program modules and link to them.
