For universities and academic programs
The symposium runs every year. So should what it learned.
Academic conferences, institute programs and executive education on one platform, with one record of everyone who registered.
The actual problem
Every department starts from scratch.
A research center runs its symposium on one tool, the professional school uses another, and alumni programs keep a third list. Each conference rebuilds its call for papers, its schedule and its mailing list from nothing.
The program
From call for papers to the session door.
In Janix Event Suite, open a call for papers with your own questions and submission windows. Reviewers score each submission, and you accept, reject or waitlist with the average and spread in front of you. Accepted talks become draft sessions with the speaker attached, ready for you to place.
Build a multi-track schedule and check it for room and speaker conflicts before you publish. Speakers publish their own profiles through the speaker portal. On the day, scan attendees into individual sessions, not only into the building.
Registration
Departments buy in blocks.
A department sending twenty faculty can buy the block now and name the holders later, with seats assigned and reassigned as plans change.
A member rate can be checked at checkout against a roster you upload, for an alumni association or a partner institution.
The record
One institutional audience, not one per event.
Every registrant lands on your institution's record, not the event's. The people from last year's symposium are already there when this year's call for papers opens.
