I built a small website to simplify my own events. Colleagues asked to use it for theirs, and it spread from lab to lab. Today our team supports research communities across North America, Europe, Asia and beyond, and the goal hasn’t changed: give organizers their time back, and give researchers a stage to share science the world hasn’t read yet. The best compliment we hear? Attendees rave about the conference and never notice the software. ![Matthieu Chartier, PhD](https://fourwaves.com/_astro/matthieu-chartier.DdroaXK5_DWe89.webp) Matthieu Chartier, PhD Founder & CEO, Fourwaves [Read our mission and story](https://fourwaves.com/about-us/) ## Security & compliance Fourwaves is built with strong security, trusted data protection, payment security, and end-to-end accessibility, giving organizers and institutions complete peace of mind. ### Data privacy Your data is protected under strict privacy practices aligned with GDPR and major North American standards. ### Payment security Your payments follow strict PCI-aligned security standards used by trusted global payment providers. ### Institutional trust Your team benefits from a platform trusted by top universities and academic institutions for secure and reliable event management. ### Built for accessibility Your event follows modern accessibility standards and works smoothly with leading assistive technologies. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is conference management software? Conference management software (also called a conference management system or conference management platform) is what academic conferences and scientific events use to run the whole event in one place: collecting abstract submissions, managing peer review, building the program, opening event registration and payments, and publishing an event website. It replaces the patchwork of spreadsheets, forms, and email that event organizers otherwise stitch together. Fourwaves is academic conference management software, so the submission, review, registration, and website pieces are connected from the start rather than bolted on afterward. Generic event management software handles logistics like ticket sales well, but academic events also need the scholarly workflow. ### What features should conference management software have? The key features of good conference management software cover the full event lifecycle: a call for papers and abstract submission, peer review, a program and session builder, event registration with online payments, and an event website. Academic conferences should also look for capabilities that generic event management tools skip: double-blind peer review, conflict of interest detection, a book of abstracts, and virtual poster sessions. For virtual conferences and hybrid events, add livestreamed virtual sessions and attendee engagement features that keep virtual attendees connected. Fourwaves brings all of these together in one connected platform built for research events, so event planning stays in one place from the call for abstracts to the final program. ### What is Fourwaves? Fourwaves is conference management software for academic conferences: abstract submissions, peer review, registration, event website, program and conference app in one platform, built for researchers at universities, scientific societies and research networks. The same workflow runs a 30-abstract departmental research day and a 2,000-submission multi-track congress, with single or double-blind peer review, registration and payments through the organizer’s own payment gateway, and virtual poster sessions for online and hybrid events. Every event also comes with the free Fourwaves [conference app](https://fourwaves.com/conference-app/) on iOS and Android, where attendees find the program, their personal agenda, the posters and the participant list, offline included. Fourwaves was founded in 2012 by PhD students and is headquartered in Quebec City, Canada. ### What makes Fourwaves different from other event platforms? Most platforms are outdated or built for business conferences. Fourwaves is purpose-built for research: abstract management, peer review, posters, programs, scientific sessions, and engagement tools tailored to academic workflows. The [conference app](https://fourwaves.com/conference-app/) attendees use on site is included free with every event on every plan, where generic platforms sell a mobile app as a separate product. ### What is the Event Assistant? The Event Assistant is Fourwaves’ AI-powered review tool, included free on every plan, that checks your event before you publish it. It combines artificial intelligence with built-in rules to scan your event website, settings, payments, and registration and abstract submission forms, then flags misconfigurations, missing translations, inconsistencies, and typos. Results are grouped by severity (critical issues, warnings, and suggestions) so you can fix what matters first. It runs automatically every time you publish your event and keeps improving over time. ### How much does Fourwaves cost? Fourwaves costs between $0 and $2,599 USD per year on its self-serve plans, plus a custom-priced Pro plan, with unlimited registrations on every plan and unlimited events on every plan but Pro, where the number of events is set with you. The free Starter plan includes 25 abstract submissions per year. Essential costs $999 USD per year for up to 100 submissions, Advanced costs $2,599 USD per year for up to 300 submissions with peer review, and Pro has custom pricing, quoted on your volume of submissions and events. Prices are also published in CAD and EUR. A 3% service fee applies only on credit card payments, on top of your payment gateway’s own fees, and there are no add-ons and no per-registrant fees. See the [pricing page](https://fourwaves.com/pricing/). ### Can I manage everything in one place? Fourwaves manages everything in one place: abstract submission, peer review, event registration, payments, your event website, program builder, the free [conference app](https://fourwaves.com/conference-app/) on iOS and Android, virtual platform, and analytics, the entire event lifecycle under one roof, whether you run one meeting a year or multiple events. ### Does the conference app work offline? The Fourwaves Conference App works offline: once an attendee opens their event, the program, their agenda and the abstracts are stored on the phone and stay available in a lecture hall or basement with no signal. The app resyncs automatically when the connection returns, so room and time changes made by the organizer are picked up on the next sync, within 5 minutes. ### Is Fourwaves easy to use for organizers, reviewers, and participants? Fourwaves is known for its clean, intuitive interface. Reviewers, students, presenters, and admins can use it instantly with minimal training. ### Is my data secure and compliant (GDPR, FERPA, Loi 25, etc.)? Fourwaves follows strict data protection standards and complies with GDPR, FERPA-aligned practices, and major North American privacy laws. Payment data is processed through PCI-certified providers like Stripe. ### Can Fourwaves handle large, multi-track conferences? Fourwaves runs multi-track conferences with up to 2,000 submissions, per-track review committees and hundreds of reviewers on one flat annual plan with no per-registrant fee. The Geological Association of Canada has run its national conference, about 800 participants and 500 abstracts, on Fourwaves since 2022 ([customer story](https://fourwaves.com/customer-stories/geological-association-of-canada/)). The Organization for Human Brain Mapping ran its 2022 hybrid annual meeting with 2,880 participants from 49 countries on Fourwaves ([customer story](https://fourwaves.com/customer-stories/organization-for-human-brain-mapping/)). The United States Association for the Study of Pain coordinated 120 reviewers on 530 abstracts for its 2025 annual meeting ([customer story](https://fourwaves.com/customer-stories/united-states-association-for-the-study-of-pain-usasp/)). The same workflow runs a 30-abstract departmental research day. ### Is Fourwaves only for small conferences or poster sessions? Fourwaves is not limited to small conferences or poster sessions: poster sessions are one module, and the same platform runs multi-track society annual meetings: the [Geological Association of Canada](https://fourwaves.com/customer-stories/geological-association-of-canada/) (about 800 participants and 500 abstracts each year since 2022) and the [Organization for Human Brain Mapping](https://fourwaves.com/customer-stories/organization-for-human-brain-mapping/) (2,880 participants from 49 countries at its 2022 hybrid meeting) run on it alongside 30-abstract departmental research days. Abstract submissions, peer review, registration, event website and program are on one event at every size, on a flat annual plan with no per-registrant fee. ### How fast is customer support? Fourwaves answers support requests with a median first response under 5 minutes. Every plan includes email support, 24/7 AI support and the help articles; higher plans add a personalized onboarding call and VIP support. Organizers regularly single out the support team in their testimonials. ### Do I need coding or technical skills? Not at all. Fourwaves includes a drag-and-drop website builder, automated workflows, and templates suited for non-technical scientific organizers.
